>LOL, you can call it whatever you want, but the result was the same. The money ran out. Yes. And when a bank gets robbed it should close. >With the worker-to-retiree ratio falling in this country, it's going to be a lot harder to continue funding these retirement pensions. That will last for a couple of decades, at most. We should be able to deal with it. We're a very wealthy place. >The price of giving everyone worry-free retirement packages is skyrocketing, just like health care costs. You can't continue your pollyannish attitudes towards funding it. Health care costs haven't been skyrocketing the last couple of years, so that's neither here nor there. Pension issues have little to do with costs. The biggest problems for them are that they've been spent on other things and/or misinvested. For argument's sake, if these pensions didn't have funding issues, would you be for them? -Z
