So, it is ok to leave 100s of billions in unfunded liabilities to the poor and middle class? We both agree that the rich wont get hurt by all this, yet you keep insisting on taxing and adding to the debt anyway. That does not make any sense.
The people are the ones who will have to pay for this, while the unions only pay 0.5% of their own pensions. Who are the greedy ones?

Just because FDR is left, doesn't mean I agree with him....In many cases, he is correct... but not always.
It was funded - it was perfectly fine, it was a surplus until it was spent on bad investments and force investments from the State, that people had no choice over. Which was then profited on, and money used to fund other State projects rather than add to the pension, just in case crazy shit like today happens.
So that's actually wtf happened.. greedy bastards spent our damn tax dollars and forced bad investments, that sucked the State dry.. and now you want to punish the exact people that didn't create this problem.
Brilliant... How about, we go get the damn money back from the people that created the mess?
We could tax the living crap out of the elite class and super corporations, without question. And it does not add to the debt more, it collects a hellish amount of money and you fine them when they try to leave the State.
And without question, giving them more tax cuts, when they already have trillions of dollars, isn't going to spark job growth - but it will increase profits while WE continue to pay the damn bills. Bills that are now being transfered to the people, meaning - it will cost US more!
What you're supporting now, is the people losing the ability to stop getting fucked over.... so basically, they can get fucked over even more, have no power to do anything about it, meaning me and you and our kids will end up paying the bill, no mater what....
Why? Because the people in power aren't fixing the problem by taking out union powers and reducing these peoples pay, this only increases the power/money the Fed/State has. This is nothing more than a way for the elite to profit from mine and your tax dollars, even more - that's it... end of story.
Stop supporting this stupidity..
