DISCUSSION QUESTION

After reading the Dorfman article, “Public Pensions are Still Marching to Their Death (Links to an external site.)”, respond to the following questions: 

• What are the political reasons public pensions are underfunded?
• If the pension problem is political, what steps would have to occur to remedy the problem? Do you think such a remedy will ever take place?
• If you do not see a remedy for the situation, what do you predict will happen to public pensions in the future?
