Today I want to focus on the funding of retirement liabilities and will address energy independence in a future column. Retirement funding is not an issue that is limited to one country or one form of government. It is a real issue for democracies in continental Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as Canada and Australia. It is also a very real issue for China, as the effects of the "one child" policy come into focus. And it is a real issue for the Latin American countries, too, with Brazil and Chile taking leadership roles.

After one of the warmest winters on
record in New York City, we are starting to look forward to spring and

In my last column in early December, I forecast that the U.S. recovery would continue, which was confirmed later in the month. I also forecast that even though the Eurozone would enter a mild recession while the member countries continued to wrestle with the debt crisis, the United Kingdom would experience slow growth but would not join the countries on the continent in recession. Shortly after this column appeared Prime Minister David Cameron became the target of French President Nicolas Sarkozy's ire when he stood alone at the December EU summit and did not vote for the new treaty.
