You said “government.” It’s worse than that if you meant Fedgov. Every state except S.Dak. is way underwater on both health and retirement related reserves. That is the only honest explanation for state govs, etc so blindly supporting the clot shots. They not only want to minimize the retirement crowd but thinning the herd at the near-retirement level works for them too. That’s what explains the no-exemptions stance on mandates. And remember that Fed social security doesn’t even have reserves anymore. LBJ took care of that by blowing them on Veetnam. It’s always ABOUT THE MONEY!
