 That $250K is for the first 6000. Add another 6000 and it
 becomes 125K. Make it 60000 volts, cars not EMF, ant it becomes
 $25000. If it hits 600000 cars it's $2500/car. And so on.

 Do we? Why? Most public pension funds I have read about are
 required to fund 30 years into the future. Wisconsin's is funded
 withing a fraction of 1% of 100%. Ohio's was funded 87.7% last I
 looked. With those plans funded in the stock market, That's a
 good reason for the gap.

 Before we cut anything, I want to see future funding calculated
 on the basis of unemployment at under 5%, not the 15% real
 unemployment we now have.

 If we get real umemployment down under 5% we solve most of our
 problems. If it doesn't come down, there might not be a country
 to worry about.
