In 2009 we hit a tipping point. For the first time in history, states paid more for “Insurance Trust Fund Expenditures” – mainly pensions — than for “Salaries and Wages,” according to Final Fiscal Year 2009 State Government Finances data just released by Census.
Basically that means we are paying those who no longer work for state governments more than we pay those who do. The trend is intractable and accelerating.
