2. This is garbage.

It's bad news for GM workers anyway. People ought to be able to live their lives without fearing for how they are going to afford to live when they get old. That means we need a clearly defined benefit plan that we can count on and that will be enough to live off of. People don't have the luxury to hide away alot of extra savings on their own these days. People are too pressed for cash and are lucky to make it to the next paycheck.
