coming out in one of the top tier journals in political science that shows that the public employee unions using the same sophisticated empirical techniques were responsible for driving up both the size of pensions and their underfunding in some key states. of now i'll even leave aside whether public employee unions are responsible enough for the underfunding issue in some states. you know, there's clearly some bad actors where there's a lot going on. new jersey is one of them, illinois is another where the pensions are in fairly bad shape. but leaving that aside i think there is a good causal connection to show that the size of the pension even if they're well funded using, again, the government's current accounting techniques which are also a little bit questionable my home state of new york, for example is 100% funded if you use the 8 percent government discount rate. however, the size of pensions as public employee unions have grown since the 1970s in strength, the size of pension -- that is, their overall liabilities -- are enormous. they went from being, say roughly 25% of a state's budget
