Does anyone know if there are still efforts being made to merge/equalize RRB benefits with Social Security as per Paul Ryan's ideas. See link to BLET article including this paragraph:
“Tier 1 benefits for railroad retirees are supposed to mimic Social Security benefits, but they are more generous than Social Security in many ways. This option would conform Tier 1 so that its benefits would equal those of Social Security, with an estimated savings to taxpayers of $2 billion over 10 years.”
Ideas like this don't go away; they are merely submerged for a while 'til everyone's asleep, supposedly.
