you could be right. however, i think that they'll successfully pare down the pensions of a significant percentage of workers; all the while billing the promises of deferred income as "unrealistic" or "unsustainable." hope that you're able to collect yours before the **** hits the fan.
Thank you for that kind thought. I started collecting eleven years ago when I retired from teaching and the Michigan pension system is in good shape and is backed by the State. So I lose little sleep over negative possibilities.
I sincerely hope every retiree gets what what promised to them since you are correct - its merely deferred pay that has already been earned.
