A government pension is a fund into which a sum of money is added during the period in which a person is employed by the government. When the government employee retires they are able to receive periodic payments from the fund in order to support themselves. As the birth rate continues to fall and the life expectancy rises governments worldwide are predicting funding shortfalls for pensioners. Brazilians retire at an average age of 54, and some public servants, military officials and politicians manage to collect multiple pensions totaling well over $100,000 year. In 2015 economists warned that the fund could face a budget shortfall in 2017.

No, they should be kept the same and if necessary to save them pensions should only be cut by a certain percentage to assist them with their cost of living and should be calculated for inflation
@Moutles1yr1Y
No, pensions should slowly be restricted only to the military, at the same time people must get incentives to make private pension plans.
