Government pensions are bloated and underfunded. And pay is not less than private sector in many jobs. So they get same pay but guaranteed benefits instead of sucky 401k
And then there’s the politically connected that get promoted a year before retirement so their pension is more than their top career salary b

Market based retirement accounts are brought to you by the same people that foisted Medicare Advantage plans on us and want to bankrupt and privatize Medicare and SS.

Yep. Used to live there. The quick last minute promotion to a political hack is standard operating procedure in IllinoisQuote:

No. I skied with AKPM. Nice guy. Major back seater. I constantly hear Moles’ yelling in my head…forward, forward…hands up. I ski better at my advanced age than when I was a kid thanks to Gordycamps.Quote:

Defined pensions (public) are still market based. They invest their funds in the “market”, although partially funded by state or local govt. contributions per employee group contracts. Some are better than others. CALPERS is one of the best. I am very happy my wife was a 30 year State of Cal employee. And when she’s pissed, I am thankful for community property!!!!.
Private defined…not so good.
