9 trillion is small compared to Fedzilla Underfunded Liabilities. Add them up and they approach 250+ Trillion.

Underfunded Liabilities are the problem to the answer of COVID-19 and Euthanasia Vaccines

And when do the bankruptcies start for folks who are getting their interest rates jacked up from trying to survive using credit? You know it’s coming. House of branDUHn cards getting shaky.

screw-em, they’ve kicked the can all the way to the end of the road...

[Lazamataz]

The center cannot hold.

Most governments have moved to defined contribution plans, and away from defined benefit plans.

These underfunded liabilities are only for those that still have defined benefit plans.

Of course the current stock market crash is killing defined contribution plans, which will delay retirements (including mine.)

are the taxpayers liable for the government workers who vote themselves pension increases and then have their union bosses rob them blind?

sorry you put your trust in government... good day.

A Democrat president: No problemo. The federal government will bale you out.
A Republican president: Fix your own liability problems. Good luck.

So, yeah. Elections matter.

NY probably lost another 25% this week. So it`s maybe minus 150%.. It appears to be quite mismanaged...They lost 25% a few years back, never recovered from it-—

This is why the republic is going to be completely federalized.

The Feds can print money. The states can't.

Not my problem, sorry, this is government mismanagement of astounding proportions, again.

The markets are down hard again so far today.

[blackdog]

Meh. Once those Covid jabs kick in as planned the cost units to the state will begin to come down. Actuarial have already begun to pick up on the shift.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Yep. They can go back to work just like everyone else. And we can find out how many of those back injuries are real.

And what rough beast (Trump?) comes slouching toward Bethlehem...

“Most governments have moved to defined contribution plans, and away from defined benefit plans. These underfunded liabilities are only for those that still have defined benefit plans.”

For new employees. Defined benefit plans are grandfathered in for older workers and retirees.

Trump?

[who_would_fardels_bear]

It’s a reference to his refusal to be the polite and effete candidate that the Never Trumpers want in a candidate.
