On 19 Dec 2012 the SCoC ruled, dismissing an appeal going on since 1999. stating that public servants were entitled to their pensions only which they had paid for; but not to the $30 Billion surplus which belonged to the taxpayer.  So you see, you are building a big surplus in this account over time, that will be used to pay down the big future deficit.  Bet you didn't know anything about that but it's well recorded as a Supreme Court ruling.  You probably liked it better than we did.
