Transfer of wealth from a social group that is perceived as unfairly advantaged, to another group, that is perceived otherwise. Since pensions are gone for most of the people nowadays, targeting pension funds will result in relatively low public pushback, compared to other targets. And as long as the public approves it, millions could be spent on committees figuring out "the best way to do it", bureaucrats making policies, etc. Political game as it is, nothing new.
