He planed his retirement on that future payout and should be entitled to every penny of it.

To what extent does the Illinois State Constitution grant the legislature the authority to promise money on behalf of future taxpayers? If a crook buys something on credit with a promise that I'll pay for it, when I've agreed to no such thing, I'm not obligated to pay one dime to the merchant. The merchant is free to go after the crook, if he can, and I'd wish him the best of luck doing so. Fundamentally, though, the fault would lie with the crook and with the merchant who was willing to accept his phony promise--not with me.

Try telling a cop to go FK himself when he stops you for not wearing a seat belt. Is that law in the Constitution? How bout talking on the cell while driving? There was no problem talking on the CB back in the 70’s, so whats the difference with a cellphone.
I , for one, would extract blood from someone if they fkd up my future by breaking promises that were made concerning my future pension payouts.
Who is the crook? I hope you mean the Illinois government.
