CalSTRS (the teachers pension system) need $4.5 billion per year to fund over 30 years

The trust fund that provides pensions to retired teachers has a $64 billion deficit and would need a $4.5 billion per year infusion of revenue to become fully solvent, according to a new internal study. The California State Teachers Retirement System produced the report in response to a legislative resolution. Its release came just days after the Legislature's budget analyst, Mac Taylor, indirectly chided Gov. Jerry Brown for ignoring "huge unfunded liabilities associated with the teachers' retirement system and state retiree health benefits" in his new budget. 

The $4.5 billion is a 75% increase over the present 6 billion.
