The Nomenklatura public pensions will bankrupt the country, NOT social security retirement benefits which are much less.But we'll be told that it is social security that is bankrupting us. It will work because SS really is insolvent in any objective measure if you look just a few years down the road.

Not only cant they slash pensions......but the pensioneer has contributed to the pension and is thus protected by ERISA laws.ERISA doesn't "insure" bad math.
