Pensions Earthquake: San Bernardino Defaults–After Bankruptcy

San Bernardino, which owed almost $10 million on its pension bond debt ever since it declared bankruptcy in 2012, has defaulted, according to Reuters. Since September, the city has avoided dealing with the bondholders, who have been left out in the cold.

Last August, Judge Meredith Jury of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California ruled that San Bernardino, California could declare bankruptcy, even though the city had stopped paying the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) the money CalPERS was owed.

  2. That's what happens when you permit your county to be flooded with people who don't pay taxes and instead suck tax-payer provided benefits, coupled with a payroll and retirement system that was created in the 60's when there were plenty of taxpayers.

  4. Charlotte has a 15m deficit to deal with so what do they do?
    Propose cuts to fire stations, police and schools.

    They weren't phased by forgiving the debt for nascar's hall of fame though...

  5. The death of America d/t not having a legitimate gov and the mass influx of
    rot-gut third world parasites, along with the liberal communist movement which
    has erupted since the communist/marxist Obama was pushed into the spotlite
    by unseen forces.
