I say the basis for any forward looking plan will be rooted in

*ALL* their pension liabilities onto the taxpayers and retirees.

Well not all of them.
I've had more than one conversation with my Mother about this and her pre
ERISA plan isn't subject to the latest action. I don't think it is anyway.

Amazing how in this "brave new world order" the key to a secure
and comfortable old age remains having a number of successfule
and powerful offspring, as it has been for the last 100,000

back less.
