It depends upon who has been guarding the pension money. Has it been safely held, accumulating interest over time, the principle intact, as it should have been?
Or have politicians scavenged it? Are they trying to scavenge it now, to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy?
It's easy to cut budgets on the backs of your neighbors. Especially when you are taught to demonize them and call them "union thugs".
Because if you don't do that, if you are not set on to attack each other, those neighbors may get together and wonder why, if we are so "broke", the wealthy are getting more and more tax cuts, and they get insulted when we question why "the job creators" can't pay a penny more, but a retired teacher has to have their pension cut in half?
