Political Factoid
After the Republicans swore
repeatedly on umpteen Bibles
that they would never raise taxes,
Congressional Republicans
coerced a change that
effectively added a tax,*
starting in 2015, to the
pension plans of more than
15 million Americans.

Major cutbacks on union pensions
passed as part of the spending bill,
when the Republicans took full control
of Congress in December of 2014, and
coerced the President into signing it.
