There are government entitlements and there are government obligations. A pension is an entitlement if offered as a condition or benefit of employment. It becomes an obligation upon fulfillment of the terms and conditions of that employment. Therefore cutting pension has to occur during the earning phase of the pension entitlement, not after the payout stage of the obligation has begun. By the way, many government pensions, including retired federal employee pension, are called “annuities” because of this fact.
I’m not against cutting pension benefits, but not during the retirement phase of a government pensioner.
