I am inclined to agree. But I assume that in practice it's all just down to accounting: retirees tend to vote a lot.

So I expect pensions to be bailed out. Especially government pensions.

USPS is just forced to already confront reality early, instead of waiting for the bailout later.

I'm waiting for GE to implode. Their pension liability is easily near $100 billion and they have no ability to fund it.

And of course because this is America, we are going to end up giving GE some welfare.
