I'm shocked! . . . shocked!

This article isn't exactly about insurance, but it's certainly relevant to what we do here. Here’s the lead paragraph:

"TRENTON, April 11 — State senators from both political parties said at a hearing on Wednesday that they had been shocked to learn that they had voted again and again in recent years for measures that had left the state pension in great distress, and they faulted the state treasury for failing to explain to them the risks of what they were doing."

The just-awakened senators are trying a variation of the dog-ate-my-homework excuse. But, bless their hearts, there is no excuse for this.

As they say, read the whole thing.
