What about preventing this from happening going forward?

That's largely already happening with the shift from defined benefit plans to defined contribution plans.

It is not necessarily a better outcome for the employees but it has better alignment of incentives and doesn't create obligations for future taxpayers.

Are there any state governments that have shifted to defined contribution, especially for the politically untouchable judges and police pensions?
