Bail me out, too

Ok. So after contributing to Social Security for my entire working life, I'm supposed to surrender my guaranteed income after retirement to the same types of plans that have been plummeting into the toilet during that same timeframe. I've looked at my 401k statements, and they are not pleasant. I have been wishing I had a pension.

Now I find out that I am supposed to "buckle up" and chip in to fund pension plans for other people who were fortunate to work for a company that provided one, and my government bailed out the company from bankruptcy. When is somebody going to bail me out? I have been working for going on 30 years now, and I have another 30 to go. When I retire, I have nothing to look forward to.

Except healthy grandchildren. God, forgive me for wishing for heaven on earth
