So to attract quality workers, the government promises to pay retirement, then through the years officials vote to not fund the pension adequately and now there is insufficient money to continue to pay the pensioners. The responsibility falls back on the officials to make up the amount, does it not? I mean personally responsible.

I thought it made the agenda transparent in the second link that they brought out a problem with the disability by denigrating one of the pensioners.

Thank you for the links and this thread. I was unaware.
