Cavuto: Cut union pensions because they don’t need ‘Chateaubriand’ steak every night

On Thursday, Cavuto told Democrats for Progress columnist Steven Leser that “you’ve got to target what right now is the biggest and most ballooning part of public costs across the country and that tends to be pensions, benefits.”

“I think it’s wrong to scapegoat the unions over this,” Leser noted. “There’s all kinds of other things that we could be looking at to raise money without attacking middle class workers, people who risk their lives for us — you know, police officers, firefighters.”

“It’s the slippery slope. We’re going to take this benefit away from them and in a couple of years we’re going to take this benefit away from them,” he added.

“Most Americans in the private sector don’t even have these benefits,” Cavuto argued.

“They should have them,” Leser pointed out.
