I'm surprised that your chart shows California as, effectively, being in the black. CalPERS is the nation's largest pension fund, and despite its claims that there's nothing to worry about, it lost its shirt in housing investments and is likely to screw over an incredible number of its members - including my brother and my mother-in-law, both of whom are getting close to retiring.
That's not to say that your chart is wrong. California has many other pension funds which might be solvent. But it did surprise me.
