With all of this recent financial turmoil and weak corporate earnings, the thought occurred to me that the USA government is just about the most stable organization going. The proof is in the trillions of dollars that are being doled out/promised in various stimulus plans. Because of this demonstrated strength, would the intrinsic value of a US government pension be worth more today that one year ago?

Don't know how one would calculate such a thing, but I have a feeling that my government pension is worth a lot more intrinsically than my corporate pension (other than that COLA thing).
