How U.S. states overstate the extent to which pensions are funded.
10/16/2010
Using a discount rate of 4% (for government borrowing costs) would correctly show the extent to which pensions are funded in Illinois, than the rate currently used rate of 8%. Using Illinois methods Dutch plans would be 200% funded says an expert in Holland. With lower savings of American workers as they approach retirement adequately funded pension systems are critical to the safety net.

The wildly underfunded pension system of the American state of New Jersey.
09/30/2010

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
