[QUOTE] It public employees want a $70,000 a year pension, than they can figure out, ON THEIR OWN, how to amass that much. If they choose to only put 7% of their pay into their pension, and it turns out that was less than half of what they needed, THAT SHOULD NOT BE MY PROBLEM TO SOLVE.

Although these numbers are from 2002, I highly doubt that anyones pension benefit has doubled since then.
If you are talking 70,000/ year pension where are you getting these actual numbers?
