I'm going to sound mean. You let them file for bankruptcy and default on their pension obligations. There has to be consequences for the voters so they know, oh shit, I can't vote for someone who's going to spend all our money.
Even the pensioners should have realized. Oh shit, I'm working in a state that spends like mad. I should probably work in another state.
No one gets pensions anymore. The government needs to phase them out as private industry did.
