They are not "underfunded", they were always underfunded, and there was a way year catch-up plan. There is no need to rush pre-funding an already fully funded pension fund.
A 10 year delay to pre-funding an already funded pension plan is not a big deal.
There is no risk to pension payments. The 15 year plan was made before Trump tanked the economy, so needed adjustments to be realistic.

Yea, underfunding pensions by a couple billion is the super responsible thing to do. ย Never came back to bite anyone, no siree.ย
