All of this actually is about the chosen few investors and financial managers that actually own and control our Congress. Indeed we have lost control of our government.
You are right, there was time. There was 48 hours to read a 4000 page bill.
That is their mode of operation now. Wait until the last minute, cram the bill full of grift and pork and just pass it.
Been that way since Obamacare passed.
As they say...follow the money. The unions pushed this change, not the pension investment companies.
Seems some wont admit this.
Unions sold out the old guys to pad the pockets of the union leaders and those currently working.
They stuck a knife in the backs of millions of hard working 30-40 year people who earned their pensions and it should never be touched.
I would rather see current employees not get raises, not get free anything to get those retirees their money they already earned.
The unions cause a ton of issues for most people and cripples it members with some very poor decisions. In this case former union members who are not paying into their lousy bank roll so the unions dont care about them anymore.

GS also has their hand in public pension money so this is just the beginning.
A 40 year old law has been tossed to the side.

Well I guess a 60% cut to your pension 20 years into your retirement is just fine and dandy and you'll just "adjust" to your reduced pension ?
I'm leaving the U.S. next year and hopefully never coming back, I'm moving to a place that has less people of European descent. In 40 something years when I'm at retirement age, I won't need a pension to support myself and I'll be financially secure. Any decisions that Obama is making now concerning Americas future I fully support, namely because any negative impact his decisions will have in the future won't affect me and I think will be much deserved...
