most pensions, certainly all private ones, don't provide for cost of living raises. For a very long time neither did Social Security.

And I don't know about Oklahoma, maybe that state has adequately funded its pension obligations, but many states, counties, and cities have not. A lot of retired public employees are in for a huge shock in a few years.

Companies and governments should absolutely be required to fund their pensions properly.
