Correct John, the pension funds like TRS can go bankrupt while the state cannot. This is why the unions are fighting so hard for the guarantee to be in any bill.
The unions are against this bill as well, although for different reasons than i am.

ReplyOne thing I hadn't had a chance to comment on yet, the state cannot go bankrupt, but the pension funds themselves could very well go bankrupt. This is why the unions leaders are pushing so hard for a pension guarantee.

Please feel free to contact me with any bullying stories. I will publish them so others won't have to go through this. The more stories we can make public the better chance we have of stopping this bad behavior.
