  • You're already underfunded. Make money. There is a fiduciary responsibility to the participants. It's immoral to mortgage the future financial well-being of others.
  • Washington politicians have no trouble doing it JoJo.

    So that makes it OK?
  • No! Just surprised to see you sticking up for the little guy.
  • Easy. Just rationalize that making money for CALPERS will save the world. Gets rid of the "or" thing.
