Have been saying for months that the only solution to the massive underfunding of the public pension plans is to inflate the assets in said plans. Many of them are still basing contributions on an assumed 8% return going forward. Without huge Federal "donations" to the state plans, the only way to get that assumed return and make up for what happened in 2008 is for the Fed to pump this market higher to make sure those plans get their assumed returns and recover what they lost. I really don't think there is any doubt that this has been the entire reason behind this non-stop melt higher.
