Until the Conservative Revolution.

Then, you may have to fend for yourself like real people do.

I have a Cal State pension — all I ask from it is to give me my contributions back for those 15 years, with a reasonable ROI (say, 6%). We all walk away happy — no eternal burden to the taxpayers, I get my stolen money back, and I work those dollars with the risk profile I deem best.

Contemplate this - When the government spends a trillion-and-a-half dollars per year more than it takes in, eventually it’s going to run out of money.

Then what?

By the way, how many current workers does it take to pay enough in Federal income taxes to cover your pension?
