Exactly and it not only can be, it must be. There is a limit to the ability to tax full time workers grossing $5K or so per month to subsidize pensions of non workers and retirees making many times more, both politically and financially.

There’s a bunch of disinformation going on in FR that a contract with government employees and a legislature is sacrosanct and cannot be modified. That could not be further from the truth.
A legislature is sovereign. That means it can amend, modify or cancel any law passed by a previous legislature. That includes contracts. If a legislature couldn’t change laws - or contracts - than why have elections?
There’s no such thing as a plenary legislature that can write immutable laws. Period. Exclamation point.
