There is nothing fair or excusable about a 75-year-old retiree with health care concerns finding out that the pension he was promised just isn't funded.

The last thing taxpayers need is to foot the bill for a multi-billion dollar bailout.

Republicans and Democrats have a history of bipartisan cooperation on this issue.
