re: Rep. Garret Graves escalates effort to repeal Social Security penalty for teachers, police

My wife was the opposite. Taught for 33 years in public and then for 16 years at private, paying into SS in the private school. Her teacher's retirement meant her SS benefit was cut to roughly $325 a month. Should have been about 5 times that. The offset is just a loophole to screw people who change from public to private retirement systems. In my opinion the government tends to screw over working people while bending over backwards for those who do not work.
