Underfunded pensions will be a thing of the past if the stock market rises by 15% each and every year, inflation stays under 2%, the Fed has permanently put an end to recessions, and/or the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan%27s_Run_(film)" rel="nofollow">Logan's Run Act</a> is enacted several centuries ahead of schedule, lol.

Probably not the best strategy, but it's also not my only strategy. My 7-year bond ladder is giving me a blended yield-to-worst of 2.432065789%. Slightly better than inflation if nothing defaults.

Like i-bond rates, that's a sure sign of impending inflation and rising interest rates.<br /><br />Maybe Reddit is the new lifeforce of the election. Shut it down!
