This argument looks logical but I see no hard numbers concerning the impact on the federal budget. This should be stated explicitly rather than implied.

If the PSPP has no impact on the budget then the author is being vindictive. If, on the other hand, it does then his remarks are prescient.

However, talking about change is not the same as actually making changes. Even dinosaurs will fight to survive and, in this case, I think the best the government can do it transition to a different pension system with new hires as many private corporations have done.

It should also be noted that our military service men and women are public servants. They should not be short changed after all they do for us.
