Rescind (MPRA) "Multi-employer Pension Reform Act of 2014 until better guide lines. 19k pension cut, too steep.

Created by E.C. on October 13, 2015

passed in the last hour to go home for Christmas the 2014 shifts all responsibility on the pension funds to cut benefits to future and existing retired participants to avoid needing the PBGC. Maybe all government pensions should be cut by 55% as mine would be due the high debt the government has. Cuts to $100 more than the PBGC would have paid in 11-17 yrs when the Pension might have need them are to take affect July 2016. resulting in cuts of almost 20k per yr to already retired participants. To make up for that, need more than allowed to make on social security. 1/2 the amount after taxes allowed to make on soc. sec. aprox. 6k per year needs to be the max. cut.
