Indiana did it in the 1840s, along with a bunch of other states. Arkansas did it in the 1920s.Gary R.

There&#39;s no chapter for states in the bankruptcy code, as states are sovereign, and state bankruptcy would violate principles of federalism.<br /><br />Will Obama nationalize police pensions? Will every American be forced to pay for Illinois&#39; outrageous and bloated cop pensions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-13783721509224728972015-09-03T07:58:44.269-05:002015-09-03T07:58:44.269-05:00Indiana has a bad cop problem, as well, and has already been forced to raise taxes to cover it.<br /><br />Police are simply not due a pension. It&#39;s an outrageous benefit that taxpayers should never be forced to pay. We won&#39;t pay it. We don&#39;t have pensions for ourselves.<br /><br />Indiana already commits far too much of its revenue to cover this unconscionable benefit, and this benefit reduces funding for proper government services. Eventually, police pensions will cripple Indiana, as Illinois, though the scale of the state gives us a doomsday a bit further out.<br /><br />Put police on a 403b plan, and let them fund their own retirement.<br /><br />It&#39;s not too difficult to imagine what might happen if the economy collapses and people are homeless. The people could easily conclude that they should confiscate the houses of anyone who received a government pension, as that pensioner&#39;s house was bought by the people and belongs to the people.<br /><br />Illinois should default on cop pensions.
