Supreme Court overcompensation in women's pension ruling
Ron Hendren criticizes the Supreme Court ruling mandating men subsidize women’s pension plans. He argues the decision uses a class-based fairness approach, overlooks actuarial realities, and reflects bias by nine male justices. He notes women live longer on average and questions the justice of charging men for women’s longer lifespans. He reflects as an individual, not as a spokesman.
