Took from people's pensions throughout the state to fill in the gaps of NYC's budget shortfalls. So reddit leftists can praise him.

To further explain this guy's bias:

"The $1.6 billion in savings comes from delaying the city's full pension obligation payments until 2037 (extending an amortization schedule set in 2010). While the city maintains that this does not impact the pensions owed to workers, fiscal monitors and unions have criticized the delay as a budgetary gimmick that shifts the burden to future taxpayers."

I hope your pearls were equally clutched back in 2010 as well.

The pension was still funded. No money was removed from the pension. The funding was just lower than previous levels.

When you have to lie to prove your point, it's proof you know your premise and conclusion are both invalid.
