<div class=""><tt class="">From 1966 to 2006, when I retired, I was a Management Trustee on a billion dollar Taft-Hartley Pension fund in Milwaukee. There is an entire industry, the Actuaries, that are available to guide Pension Funds and their investments to keep them solvent. The fund I served on has done a good job so far, and remains solvent. FICA (Social Security)...not so much. </tt></div>
<div class=""><tt class=""></tt> </div>
<div class=""><tt class="">'Social Security' is being used by our government to address all sorts of issues not related to normal retirement. Funding has not kept up. If they have and use Actuaries...they're ignoring them. </tt></div>
