Yes, pension spending is out of control and must be reduced

Economic Progressivism tends to focus on expanding or maintaining social welfare programs rather than reducing them. The assertion that 'pension spending is out of control' and must be reduced is counter to the ideology's principles, which would more likely support reforming the system to ensure its sustainability while maintaining or enhancing benefits.
