Why not solve it like social security? You pay in over most of your life, then retire. If you call the fire department after you’ve retired, they’ll still come because you spent a life time paying into it.

For the same reason that I'm planning my retirement without social security. Politicians can't be trusted long term. They'll write laws to allow them to use funds that were previously protected.
