I don’t care about poor people or the California poverty rate. Poor people are speed bumps on the way to greater prosperity for successful people. Poor people are are free to move to Oregon, Idaho, Arizona or Nevada anytime they want.
Cuntwaffle should help poor people in California escape their plight. He cares. -
I like AZ because it's chock full of hotties

Rent seeking off the “California is essentially bankrupt” crowd is the favorite part of my work.Bendintheriver said:So Cirrho never addressed the poverty issue in CA and played the "I don't see them in my neighborhood so it doesn't exist" ignorance is bliss defense. Gets racist in his descriptions of other states and clearly has no idea that his state has more liabilities than it will ever be able to cover.
I think Cirrho won the argument. Who is with me? LOL -

You are a classic liberal idiot who has trouble with their maff and their honesty. CalPERS uses the Market Basis math because it is much more accurate over time. In other words, the accountants for the state aren't going to lie to themselves like idiots like you do.2001400ex said:

They got over 10% return on their investments last year. You really think 3% over time is reasonable? Besides, GASB standards dictate the rate to be used.Bendintheriver said:

They had huge losses in the early 2000's and again gigantic losses 2008-2010. Over that decade the average return was lower than 2%. The reality is probably even worse as politicians in CA like to fake the numbers. It is bad for re-election chances if you publicize horrible losses in the CALPERS returns so the democrat leaders there lie by using fake liberal maff.
The cold hard facts are that the CALPERS system is unsustainable and is bankrupt. A ponzy scheme at this point. Even after all of this stock market rise, they CALPERS system is still so deep in unsecured debt it will never get out whole. So, you idiot, that means that when the market goes down, and it will, it always does, it is going to further kill the ponzy scheme that now is CALPERS. -

If you are only getting 3% return on your investments over time, good luck in retirement. You are barely keeping pace with inflation. -

Go look up GASB 67/68 and get back to me. -
Is it only a one year plan? You’re basing your objection to a 3% discount rate because of a 10% return in one year. Do you believe there are no negative years? Do you not think there are constraints to the investment types a pension plan can participate in? I bet all the high risk, high reward stocks are forbidden and, conversely, I bet there’s a minimum amount of low risk, low yield bonds that are mandated. Al of this will lower the rate of return below any index rate of return.2001400ex said:

Three percent is not the actuarial rate of return. Jumping and up and down like a hysterical lunatic doesn’t make your asinine “analysis” true. Maybe you can post additional op-Eds from the OC register or Dan Walters to make yourself feel better?Bendintheriver said:

GASB standards and the historical return on the plan make me think the 3% rate is wrong. There's very technical calculations required by the accounting standards, that are prepared by knowledge people at the TPA and audited by CPAs.

They are describing their use of Market Basis accounting. FFS you are a juvenile.
You don't look for facts, you look for affirmation.
They had huge losses in the early 2000's and again gigantic losses 2008-2010. Over that decade the average return was lower than 2%. The reality is probably even worse as politicians in CA like to fake the numbers. It is bad for re-election chances if you publicize horrible losses in the CALPERS returns so the democrat leaders there lie by using fake liberal maff.
The cold hard facts are that the CALPERS system is unsustainable and is bankrupt. A ponzy scheme at this point. Even after all of this stock market rise, they CALPERS system is still so deep in unsecured debt it will never get out whole. So, you idiot, that means that when the market goes down, and it will, it always does, it is going to further kill the ponzy scheme that now is CALPERS.
If you are only getting 3% return on your investments over time, good luck in retirement. You are barely keeping pace with inflation.

They’ve gone into the red using a 7% investment return assumption. From this article https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/02/13/borenstein-calpers-piling-more-pension-debt-on-california-taxpayers/2001400ex said:

That's from your own link about the market basis. So if the experts agree that a 3% rate is appropriate for the pension's investments, on what basis do you disagree with them? I would wager that they know more about their investment holdings and expected returns than you do.
As for the 7 percent investment assumption, many like to cherry-pick the pension system’s past years of strong performance returns to justify the forecast.
But, Yu Ben Meng, CalPERS newly appointed chief investment officer, told his board last month that over the past 10 years and past 20 years, the system had fallen short of the 7 percent mark. Moreover, he said, market conditions make hitting that target in the future even more challenging.
Reaching that target requires making riskier investments, with greater upside potential and, of course, greater downside peril. It’s risk that an already underfunded pension system cannot afford to take.
And that ‘link within a link’ that you mock is a pension tracker run by the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. I’m sure you’re much smarter and more informed than them. -
JFC. Is there one single trumptard in the universe that can actually read an audited financial statement? Thanks for contributing another opinion piece to the trash heap of painstaking “analysis” from the other retards that have already posted.USMChawk said:

The California govt were geniuses for locating it on the majority of the west coast.haie said:The picosecond tech companies let employees work remotely they flock to Utah, Washington, etc in droves. "Skilled" employees can't wait to get the fuck off of California's income tax and dive into Oregon's.
There is a lot to respect about the state but it's a complete shit hole for the middle class/upper middle class.
California does well in spite of those fuckers not because of them
THIS
They were even so forward thinking that they capitalized on 3/5 Major Pacific ports. Genius!
