Bob - yes thank you, I take your point. But the rules (laws) that have prohibit pension managers and corporate bosses from reducing the pensions that retires took as "terms of employment" when they were working have been chucked into the garbage pail.  I must say I'm glad Justice Scalia died and that the political majority is now snubbing the law because the genie is out of the bottle and those who worked for the public will be next to see what they worked for evaporate after they have finished working.  Perhaps the new court will stave off the denial of work for pay in the United States a little bit longer.
