"...public pensions have recently turned into the biggest headache for taxpayers and municipal-bond investors..."

That would be all Union members from stage hands to teachers to federal employees....all on some pension plan. Firemen, military, police, to pilots also on a pension plan. Early retirement and government programs for those (8.7 million) not working and the government programs for illegals coming in daily to our nation. Look into a mirror Americans to see Greece.

In a nut shell, politicians wanting your vote and the government largess on the tax payer dime got us into this bind.

I'm glad you mentioned military, one of the systems that it totally unsustainable but people won't admit it....

there is no feasible way 30 or 40 somethings should be able to collect pensions from the govt....total insanity..
