[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3082774, member: 56035"] [URL="http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Federal-Treasury-Department-approves-potential-11734741.php"]Federal Treasury Department approves potential Teamster pension cuts[/URL] Not everyone favors the cuts. Karen Friedman, policy director at the Washington, D.C.-based Pension Rights Center, believes the federal government should do more to backstop troubled pensions. They favor cutting some large tax loopholes for the wealthy in order fund an account that could be tapped by various pensions worried about their futures. She noted that the Treasury Department, after several years of saying “no” to pension cut plans, seems to shifting its stance. They recently approved a similar reduction plan for a Cleveland-based ironworkers union. “There trend is going to be to approve these applications,” she said. [/QUOTE]
