I think it's more about politicians liking to be in office—and knowing that trying to sunset pension policies would amount to political suicide.

I suppose it could be done but you'd have the challenge of trying to convince and rally a young generation while taking on huge unions/lobbies. Not good odds.

I think it's also important to note that these are state issues. My guess is people will simply move out of some of these irresponsible states once tax rates hit a tipping point.
