The people who agreed to this never wanted to fund them in the first place. If they had, they would have increased taxes or reduced benefits. Instead, we are seeing guaranteed 3% pension increases annually when inflation is <2% and rosy projections about 8% stock market returns when in practice it's more like 5%.

Literally no one is asking for the fed government to pay for those pensions, this is a GOP talking point.

They are asking for help due to hundreds of millions lost in tax revenue.
