In other news, lawyers say you need a lawyer, plumbers say you need a plumber, etc.
Not a single pension program on earth is sustainable - including the US' Social Security System. All of them are political 3rd rails and kill careers of anyone seeking to do meaningful reform.
Why did we get to a situation where the government is in charge of safeguarding your retirement and wellbeing? It's insane... we should compel people to have IRA's or some sort of retirement account, but the money needs to be under the control of the person it belongs to.
