Stephanie Pomboy on the coming pension crisis

The pension funding problem will be the next crisis.  We are looking at a $4 trillion pension deficit across the public and private sectors in the U.S., after nine years of rampant asset inflation.  That's a stunning statistic.  If the market corrects even 15%, and stays there, it will bore massive holes in pensions.  New Jersey, Illinois, state after state, are figuring out how to close this gap.
