you can agree what? if you agree, then you agree. if you don't agree, then you don't agree. what do you mean you can agree? do you mean that you are able to agree? do you mean that you are going to agree? or do you just want to say that i would agree?

美国汽车公司破产或面临破产很大的原因是背负不起退休人员的福利,早改比破产以后再改好。

Some are funded by the government. I guess most people will admit, Canadian health system is better than that of USA.

I pay "premium" for CPP, and get rewarded when I retire and I WILL RETIRE, whereas unfortunate things don't necessarily happen to me. According to this, CPP is better than private insurance. 🙂
Further, as per private insurance company, I pay premium and the company use my and others' premium to generate profit as well as move some of the money to "fat cat" CEOs plus regular employees employed by the company. While, as per CPP, I pay premium, and the government use my premium and others' premium to fund retirees and pay salaries to government commissioners as well as regular employees employed by the government.
SO, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
Not just kidding, but arguing. Don't be too RIGHT.

Pension Plan is like a " Sword of Damocles" hanging on the necks of (private or crown) corporations. There is no way for a business to run when there is huge uncertainty ahead: even unions know that. The unions just don't want to give up anything.

I can agree partly with this post. Let's think further. Why are those define benefit plans unable to maintained? Oh, they are under funded and the companies have to contribute to them.
So why are they under funded? Because the funds lost money on the market.
So who caused them to lose money? Not the fund managers, not the unions, not the employees, BUT the suckers on Wall Street! Blame them if you want.
And who caused the financial disaster in 2008-2009? Those so called bankers, financial advisors, traders etc.
So what are they doing? Sucking blood from average Joes. They don't manufacture, invent, construct. They are using their smart brain to play games, number games! They are moving money from one's pocket to another. That's all they have been doing.

回复 橡皮鱼:"Why are they underfunded?" Because they were underfunded on the first place (main reason), and because fund managers of these pension plan sucks.
I do not like Wall (or Bay) Street suckers as well, but you blamed the wrong guy in this case.
"They (Wall Street suckers) don't manufacture, invent, construct.": wrong. These suckers manufacture, invent and construct financial products. We can argue those products sucks, but remember the foundation of capitalism is capital, and these sucker plays key roles.

Moving money around does not create social wealth directly, like nor does the transportation industry or retail industry. But moving money around and make the society work more efficiently, and thus contribute indirectly to the wealth. Nowadays, the action of moving money around goes to such an extent that it permeates into daily life, enjoying far greater advantage over other industry. This is WRONG. The human society can not just work on virtual wealth, it is just numbers.
Most DB plans were not underfunded at the first sight. They are now underfunded because those guys drives everything up and down to make money, that is what they live up for. While you contribute to the plan, the money was/is largely eaten up by those bastards.
