Pension

The public pension system is like a ship headed for rocky shores and the problem was created by the FED. In trying to resolve one problem the FED has created another. By keeping interest rates artificially low the FED has boosted the stock market unnaturally high while at the same time forcing Public Pension Funds to pursue high-risk policies in an effort to fund their liabilities to their constituents. This has created a Catch 22 sort of situation that will not end well. The following video by Elliot Wave International explains the situation.
