The problem is the way pensions work, they just cost continually more and more money.
So we would have to permanently solve the fraud to fix the deficit. A one-time injection from a specific criminal case can't do the job.

So you're saying the solution is to consistently uphold the law. Hmm. That sounds like an interesting challenge.

Nothing about it is fiscally impossible let alone mathematically destined to run out of funds.
The US is not unusual. Most countries in the Western Europe use a social insurance system where current workers pay current beneficiaries - including France.

The same way ALL pensions do, the same way France is doing now, and the same way Social Security will do: by reducing benefits.
Without that, ALL pensions are mathematically destined to fail because people withdraw more money than they originally contributed.
As time goes on all pensions increase restrictions like income caps, longer vesting periods, and reduced benefit amounts.

It kind of does. Wait for 40 years (not kidding); you’ll see that our money has somehow “changed” because we are, in fact, going to spend like nuts.
