HOW WE CAN END THE BUDGETARY STRANGLEHOLD OF THE UNIONS IN ONE FELL SWOOP: BAN DEFINED-BENEFITS PENSIONS FOR GOVERNMENT WORKERS

DEFINED-BENEFITS PENSIONS FOR GOVERNMENT WORKERS MUST BE STOPPED.

THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNDERFUNDED BY OVER 3 TRILLION DOLLARS.


EACH GOVERNMENT WORKER SHOULD GET A PENSION BENEFIT DEFINED BY THEIR PERSONAL CONTRIBUTION - JUST LIKE IN MOST OF THE WORKERS IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

AND GOVERNMENT WORKERS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO COLLECT UNTIL THEY REACH AGE 65.

That's exactly right. The pension plans should be defined contribution plans, not defined benefit.
