I want to chime in on this, Why would I want my tax dollars to pay for a pension when I don't have a pension myself?? I am not trying to get something started, I just want you to look at the other side of the coin here. I can see both sides because I have been screwed out of a lot of my pension from a former employer. But, I cannot expect the Government to make up the difference.
Just food for thought.
I don’t believe in tax payer bailouts either,but in this case the government had their nose stuck in it and are a big part of the reason it failed.They also allowed this dangerous Ponzi scheme of a pension to be legal mainly because of union campaign contributions and votes.
You or I would go to prison for setting up the same kind of investment but the government finds it acceptable for public and union pensions.In this case I think the government should right Its wrongs
Maybe some will get tired of this and start voting accordingly.A fraction of what we spend on illegal immigrants would more than flush up the pension fund.
The cost of illegal immigration to taxpayers is growing at an unsustainable pace

The total cost of illegal immigration to federal, state and local taxpayers for the nation’s 12.5 million illegal aliens has increased to $116 billion annually, according to a new study released Wednesday by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The study, one of the most comprehensive to date on the issue, investigates the major contributing factors driving the high cost of illegal immigration, and compares that to the revenue state and local governments collect from illegal aliens.
The findings paint a much different picture than what open-border proponents and many in the mainstream media try to portray — that illegal immigration is somehow a net positive to the United States economy.
