They are already on medicare and SS benefits. Their retirement should be sent to ERISA just like the retirements of all other bankrupt companies. They will then be able to either buy the supplemental insurance they have now, at the cost of several hundred $’s a month. Or they can get a Medicare + program from a private insurance company for free.

The problem is that many of these retirees never saved a nickle and expect the tax payers to keep them in their gold standard of living because they were ridiculously overpaid for a few decades of clock punching at Chrysler.

Actually not. The employer and employee signed a contract, one just a legally binding as any other.
Whether it was responsible or not is another matter.
