    How can government cut someone's pension?

    Is a pension not something that a company pays you after working for them after you retire?

    Or am I just asking a stupid question here?

    Yes it is, unless the company can figure out a way to get around it which isn't unheard of.

    [h=1]Senate Approves $1 Trillion Spending Bill and HOS Provision Suspension; Obama Signs into Law[/h]

    The Senate on Dec. 13 passed the $1 trillion federal spending bill that includes the suspension of a key hours-of-service restart provision. It now goes to President Obama for his signature.
    The suspension of the provision takes effect as soon as Obama signs the bill.
    UPDATE, Dec. 16, 11:30 p.m. ET -- Obama has signed the spending bill and the suspension has taken effect.
    American Trucking Associations thanked Congress – particularly Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) – for passing the bill and the rider it views as important to the industry.
    Q and A: What's the immediate impact on truckers?“We have known since the beginning that the federal government did not properly evaluate the potential impacts of the changes it made in July 2013,” said ATA President and CEO Bill Graves. “Now, thanks to the hard work of Senator Collins and many others, we have a common sense solution. Suspending these restrictions until all the proper research can be done is a reasonable step."
    The Collins Amendment language suspends the restriction on the use of the so-called 34-hour restart that requires drivers to take two consecutive periods of 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. off during the restart, thus lifting the restriction on using the restart more than once every 168 hours, or one week.
    The bill language says that within 90 days of the enactment of the act, "the Secretary (of transportation) shall initiate a naturalistic study of the operational, safety, health and fatigue impacts of the restart provisions." It would suspend the current restart provisions through Sept. 30, 2015, "and the restart rule (previously) in effect on June 30, 2013, shall immediately be in effect."

    There is no good place at all left anymore to invest your money in this country that's half way safe and produce any kind of good return. My father takes a good long trip to New Zealand every year and opened up a checking/savings account years ago. I about #### myself when he told me the kind of interest he was getting on it over there. Of course the good old US is doing there damnedest to put an end to that as well.

    a pension is basically a big savings account/mutual fund/stock market place that the employer and or employee put money into while you are employed there..In a nut shell you get credits for your contribution that you can draw on when you retire..there are many other ways they calculate what you will get when you retire.ie years of service,job title and such..and sometimes many companies come together and thats called a "multi employer pension fund...
