Spoken like a government-employee union-goon collecting $100,000 a year in pension and benefits.
Those pensions were contracts agreed to by people who, on both sides, were going to get taxpayer-paid, non-funded pensions, meaning they will be coming straight from tax revenue. The taxpayers were not involved in the agreement. The taxpayers did not agree to fund them, you agreed among yourselves that the taxpayers should fund them.
Even that Commie SOB Franklin Delano Roosevelt was against public-sector unions and their pensions.
Those pensions are going away someday, like most of the financial fraud being perpetrated. Look up geometric expansion. That's what's going to happen to your pension. The promises are going to far exceed what is even possible to come up with.
You can cheat the taxpayers, but you can't cheat the math.

It does not matter the amount. They did what they promised by working for as long as they needed to in order to get the pensions. They earned the pension. The tax payers live in the place where they received the benefits of having the workers doing the jobs they did. You don’t have to like it but basically the workers are getting screwed even after the contract was signed with promises. It is theft and should not be tolerated especially from christian conservatives.
