This measure would place the pension liabilities of any given state squarely on the back of the same Federal government that is making health care decisions for these retirees. It's obvious where this is all going, especially in light of the Medicare cuts and "death panels" in Obamacare. The whole purpose of this is to give Federal taxpayers a financial interest in euthanizing American retirees.
I take it that this means US citizens in other states will be footing the bill through the fed for Illinois pension debt?
Yup.
States need to be ready to confiscate federal receipts and federal property in their states, including tanks, chopper gunships, jet fighters, rifles, ammo and ICBMs.
