I don't think we should be paying football coaches that much, but I don't think the majority of other positions are overpaid to the degree the author asserts/implies. Especially individuals in education, considering we have millions of school age children. Something else that annoys me in media in general is hyperfocusing on government liabilities (pensions, projects where existing bonds aren't sufficient, etc) as unfunded, while ignoring unpaid individual liabilities (credit card debt, car loans, student loans, mortgages, etc), that are also unfunded. I think we should start referring to all future financial obligations as unfunded liabilities, unless there's already a framework in place to ensure future funds are available for them. I especially look forward to Tom Selleck saying that reverse mortgages aren't a way for the bank to take your house, they're just a way for the bank to make your unfunded liabilities worse. :)
