US government short $1.2 trillion to pay its own retirees' healthcare

Nothing really suprising here, as I've read other articles regarding this issue, but the venom expressed in the comment against the Federal employee did suprise me, though I knew it is out there, the more press this gets and comes under the spotlight, the federal employee benefits will be the next fight between the classes, benefit envy.
