So, I'd disagree that the pensions SHOULD be supported, and maybe look at other means (expanding SS?) as a way to keep old folks off the street. Bad behavior (fraudulent pension SCHEMES) shouldn't be rewarded, and ignorant participants will just be collateral damage. The numbers don't work. Bad debt, including unsustainable pensions, will eventually have to be flushed.
So, the day I get placed on an iceberg and shoved out to sea (Eskimo style) because I'm no longer productive, or the day I'm skewered and put on a barbecue spit for a Millenial cookout, the little voice in my head will be whispering, "you had it coming, pal..."
