Since 1921, NARFE has been committed to protecting the interests of active federal
employees and retirees, and the need for NARFE has never been stronger. On January 31, 2006, former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan said:
"I fear that we may
have already committed more physical resources to the baby-boom generation
in its retirement years than our economy has the capacity to deliver."
Don’t for a moment think you won’t hear that
over and over again! For instance when Judy Park, NARFE's Legislative Director for nearly 40 years retired in May, 2008, she said:
"The most important thing for today's federal workers and federal retirees to do is recognize that they have got to involve themselves in the next several years to protect the benefits they now have."
In the global economy, an increasing number of companies are cutting or eliminating retirement and health benefits to save money and to become more competitive, she said. These fiscal realities are "sifting
down and will hit the public sector. And when it hits the public sector, it will hit the federal government first," she predicted.
If that happens, Park added, "then we're going to see benefits begin to disappear, I'm afraid."
