out while still paying the benefits that current workers have coming to them.
It is the same problem that exists with government pensions.
There have been many on this board who advocate the moronically simple solution of just ending them. I have worked in the public sector for almost thirty years now and my pension IS my retirement. Doing away with it means I have no way to retire. I have also had idiots here tell me I should have planned for my future better. Duh! I did, it was the pension plan that I have been paying as much as 6% into my entire life with supposedly matching funds from my employers.
Is it my fault my government employers welshed on their part of the contract and did not fully fund my pension? Is it the Social Security payees fault that the government has been raiding SS for 50+ years and there is nothing there to draw from?
