Sure, most people have Social Security checks including many who ALSO have Pensions. But there are many who saved all their lives to have income ( interest ) from their savings to supplement their SS checks. Unfortunately the federal reserve is keeping the interest rates at almost ZERO.......which means the saver gets pennies instead of hundreds of dollars monthly. Of course they could invest in the stock market and risk their life savings ......feel better now ?

If you were, or are, an employee who is part of the State Retirement System this from the article should make your ears perk up: "Lowering the rate means the state will have less money to pay long-term retirement benefits for state and county employees, teachers and other public workers who rely on the fund."
