We’re paying our retirees $2,133 a year while our peers in comparable countries are putting in $2,941—27% less! That’s not just stingy, that’s a slap in the face to the people who built this country. We demand they raise retirement spending to at least $2,900, because our seniors deserve dignity, not peanuts!
