Central States Pension has been saved.

What's 86 billion dollars divided by 10.5 million?
I think I did the math correctly

Well, they did work for what they are receiving. So it’s not a lottery ticket to them.
The system doesn't work like that. If it does, the taxpayer will have to guarantee every single pension, IRA, and 401k out there. They all worked for it too.

What $ per person is that?
Looks like $8200 per person. That is probably a good investment. Most likely will allow people to retire, also retire before age 65 providing jobs for others. Possibly keeping those 10.5 mil people off future welfare and collecting tax revenues from them.

We have welfare for IRA, 401K rejects. If this works, (if it’s enough) it should save all future pensioners. So the $8200 is for more than the 10.5 people.

Just a friendly reminder to all of the Trump supporters in the Central States Pension Plan; every single Republican in Congress voted against pension relief. Let us all be grateful that Biden can sign this into law.

I’m supposed to like federal bailouts now that it was funneled into poorly run pensions?

Pensions are a hold over from the 1800’s, back when you had marxists telling uninformed people how wonderful their communist/socialist utopia will be, promising people pie in sky social welfare. They started as an olive branch to the working class so that Marxism didn’t overthrow the government.

We later got to see how amazing the marxist utopia really was. It wasn’t. And now we are stuck with these pensions among other social welfare programs, that are outdated monolithic and failing just like the marxist states did.

If I could I would sell your :censored2:ing pension for pennies on the dollar and have it abolished.

Wouldn't the number be in the billions per person? One billion per would be 10.5 billion. The lottery amount is 87 billion.

Nice rant....I’ve only got three words to counter your argument “the western pension”

What happens when the market takes a huge dump? Do they get another bailout?
Why not--those sucking off of unemployment right now because it pays more than working (and everywhere you look there are businesses begging for help) keep getting extensions.
