Are you asking me or the gutless politicians? Reminder: the largest voting block is the retirees. As the baby boomers continue to retire or try to, this block will continue to grow. We live in interesting times.
You reduce the public pension payments to the level that is affordable. This is the ONLY way we can stop or at least slow down national economic collapse.
In twenty years, the number of retirees will fall precipitously and that voting bloc won’t be as great.
I am only suggesting that baby boomers would be better off in the long-term to find a solution to this, even if it means taking a shave off their pensions then to not and have future generation who can fight back and showing about the same level of consideration that baby boomers showed them.
