So it's both the company or government's responsibility to take care of you now?

I guess in your world, there is no personal accountability for investing some of your $20-30.00/hour over the 20-30 years you had that job back into your own retirement and financial planning.

You basically are wishing upon a star, despite the writing has been on the wall about this financial crisis, pensions, and alike since I was a kid. I am now 40. I guess when the warning signs were flashing in people's faces for FOUR DECADES, they thought the magic taxpayer tooth fairy was going to come and grant some wishes and re-fund their pensions for them.
