What pains me is that the company I used to work for did a good amount of their revenue on outsourcing govt contracts, from local to fed which still goes on today.
Your tax dollars are paying for projects done overseas and often for shoddy work. And, I'm not sure if I will be able to retire. The company I worked for often raided the pension fund to boost compensation for executives and now the govt is making it easier for these types of companies to default on their pension obligations and the govt insurer, pbgc, is running out of money to cover defaults.
