    The withdrawal "guidelines" are far short of what they should be, provide fuel for mischief. Should be MANDATED as to be used only at last resort (not a guideline), in order to make sure that first the budget is cut as much as possible. Example: when Economic Uncertainty reserves are recommended by the CM to be used for basic expenses, a "pension stabilization" reserve is certainly subject to abuse. Unnecessary reserves allow unnecessary government expansion, by diminishing risk of cutbacks.
