Mine is simple, that the Federal govt focus only on those things it should which would shrink it by 30% overnight. Not sure which pensions Pelosi is thinking about since the vast majority of private entities no longer have them. So we are left with Federal, state and local govt workers who have been given ridiculously handsome pensions at the expense of the taxpayer. And most of them, particularly in blue states, are wildly underfunded and need to be reformed. In the good old days govt workers exchanged higher wages found in the private sector for very good benefits, lots of time off, job security and a good pension. As we now have seen, govt workers are being paid very well (often better than the private sector) and still have all the other goodies. This has to stop because it is fiscal insanity.
