I think existing contracts need to be honored but the government gravy train needs to come to an end; furthermore, anything that can be privatized needs to be from garbage pick up to water distribution to prisons to mail delivery to public transport, etc. Privatize everything and let the free market establish prices and wages.

No way, wipe put the unions and their contracts and fire at least 2/3 of public employees, eliminating the departments they work for!

The point is there isn't anywhere near enough money to honor existing contracts. It's trillions in the hole. If they are not renegotiated, the whole house of cards will come crashing down.
