Youre an uniformed idiot lazymaxketterxa Many CSRS people me included have paid in the full  quarters yet only will receive a very small percentage of full SSxa I paid in my  and then continued to pay every single month for the nextxa years through military reserves payrolls yet I will receive zero credit for any of that  years because it didnt quite reach the threshold of substantial contributionsxa So that was money down the drainxa More accurately some of it is going to you while you spend your life whining about dedicated federal employees who get much less from the government trough than you do
