Yes, because suddenly cutting pensions from people who earned them by working for decades after collectively bargaining for them with the government is a great idea. Nothing sparks economic recovery like suddenly making old retirees poor - except perhaps showing the world that government entities are unwilling to honor the binding legal agreements they freely entered into with an entire class of hard working law abiding citizens. Who needs habeas corpus, privacy rights, the rule of law... Fuck it, we ought to just make it all up as we go along, lie to our own citizens, swindle them as often as possible and create a parasitic rather than symbiotic economy. Terrific idea. It won't eventually lead to a revolt where the poor behead the rich (as similar policies have proven generation after generation around the globe).
This is exactly the kind of stupidity that the 2nd Amendment was actually intended to prevent.
