But George, we can......  The legislation did not forbid the
discussion......

If you want to look at this aspect, remember that the politicians that NEED
to work this out, are elected ( substitute the word.. employed.....) at the
whim of the people that they would hurt by doing ANYTHING to the present
pension system, except leave it alone or improve the benefits......  Their
fear is that if they try to discuss these issues, ,they lose their jobs.....

The BIG difference to the private sector......  where this kind of
discussion usually get the management guy a raise......

Then let's sit down, as adults in a democratic republic, and discuss the
matter at hand.
I'm sure we can negotiate a reasonable way to work out our problems
collectively.
