As a teen I would have preferred to read a book too, but my parents didn’t have much cash, so if I wanted money, I needed to have a part time job.

I’m a federal worker in large part because of the pension. If they cut it out of nowhere, my retirement planning and saving strategy over the last 15 years would be shot to hell. You can’t do that to people. I imagine we’d strike if they cut our pension benefits.

How would they go about addressing the current liability? That money has all been promised to state workers, and they agreed to that as a condition of taking the job in the first place. It’s locked in. Can’t they only really affect it for future hires?

It is, but it’s just our general liquor tax now. Funds aren’t specifically ear marked for anything.
