Recently, I've been working with some people who are lucky enough to have pensions - public pensions specifically. While most private sector employees would love to have that peace of mind that comes with a reliable check for as long as they live, pensions aren't as strong as they would seem.

This article is about pensions around the country, but I know from working and looking at stats for local pensions, the situation here isn't pretty either.
