Eventually they will say the same thing about military pensions. It will happen sooner rather then later because although the states didn’t plan for these pensions, the federal government didn’t either. We are in for a big mess. 20 years from now is going to be ugly and I mean deeply ugly when the government just stops giving all pensions which will effect everyone’s 401K too in some way. We will all end up losing everything and end up on the streets. We are in for a long long road of bad.
They can print money for the military pensions, as with all other federal pensions.
The number of people in the military is declining. The number of people receiving military retirements will decline.
Number of school employees? Up or down?
