I asked you this in another forum but want to ask again, is there any way PERS could be broken out of the state budget and declared bankrupt and/or unsustainable and bust the contract ? I know states cannot go bankrupt (at least in theory) , but why not just the retirement system ? With a more rational SCOTUS (which may happen when Ginsburg and Breyer croak or retire) would this be feasible ? Why and how did PERS become untouchable ?
