While you're right about the broken promise amounting to being defrauded, a similar argument could be made about tax payers who will be responsible for picking up the tab (Millennials, Gen Z etc.): They're going to have their wages taken for promises they never made in the first place, while also not having the same benefits enjoyed by those that came before them.
