- It never ceases to amaze it when the supporters and cheerleaders of the robolution and their leader Hugo Chavez are capable of defending him on the face of the violence of the last week, as if Chavez did not have a bloody and violent past. Only last Sunday, Chavez was talking about leaving no stone unturned as he led a million of his supporters through the middle class districts of the East of Caracas. Are these the words of a peaceful person? Or how about the new slogan of his revolution? Patria, Socialismo o Muerte (Fatherland, Socialism or Death) which does not exactly sound like the symbols of peace or coexistence. |

However, a larger question remains about whether the public sector could be under the gun to follow the lead of private enterprise when it comes to transitioning from the stalwart defined benefit (DB) pension model to the more transparent and nimble defined contribution (DC) approach. If so, the trick would be to offer retirement benefits that are still palatable enough to recruit and retain top talent without a high price tag that might anger taxpayers." (PLANSPONSOR. |
