I remember Colbert had this great reveal that his name is an anagram for "Penis Rice-a-Roni," but I'm also trying to remember another comedy show that had another anagram where it ended up as a normal name... hard to google since I don't think anagram sites use proper nouns.

Yeah. That and unfunded liabilities that arose as a result of policy raids, which was done by everyone, are starting to actually stare people in the face now that the boomers are all retiring.

What drives me crazy though is that they're not pairing the reductions with tax increases to even TRY and foot some of the bill. They're just doubling down on crashing everything and leaving a bunch of old folks hosed.

Yeah, but by the time those funds run dry they'll only be impacting baby boomers. So there's a positive.

No one seems to give a gently caress about Pensions. Back in '14 they passed a law as part of the budget that lets private pensions completely gently caress beneficiaries. It had bipartisan support.

The Central States Pension cut benefits by up to 50%, even for current retirees.

My conspiracy mindset says that it had bipartisan support because Republicans didn't want anyone digging into how badly investment companies hosed the pension and Democrats don't want anyone digging into how badly the Unions managed them.

Unions don't run the state pension funds.

The Pennsylvania plan was bipartisan too. The state needed to close a budget hole and decided to do it with the pension.

Well, my parents are still alive and kicking.

And my dad's pension did get cut by 50%.

So them having to come and live with me is a distant but very real possibility I have to deal with.
