The legal argument is the same. The property rights approach covers all. Either you can cap all or none. There is no middle ground to capping some benefits retroactively while the substantive pension is somehow sacred and untouchable.

The argument against both is that they are all annual appropriations from the Consolidated Fund and as such they are not untouchable but subject to the legislative process.

Is it that Granger does not want to cut his own salary?
