Not looking to create a fight here but who wants this? Every newish guy/gal I know definitely doesn't want a pension. It's all the guys/gals within a few years of retirement that want it. I understand the being made whole thing, but this doesn't seem smart. Why is this being seriously considered and what am I missing?
