Public Pension Shortfall is Worse than You Think
The Reason Foundation 
July 1, 2009
Excerpt: A new research paper, 'Public Pension Promises: How Big are They and What are They Worth?,' from the University of Chicago looks at nationwide public pension obligations and funding.... The bottom line of this paper is that: a) By the most realistic measure, public pensions in America are underfunded by more than $10 trillion. b) Future taxes to pay for the benefits promised but not funded by current political leaders will be very burdensome and will distort the economy. Future generations will curse us for this.
