That's not what I'm asking though.

As I explained, the government in Spain is not legally bound by any type of concept of "entitlement" as far as public pensions are concerned (and that's the main single spending chapter and our Social Security system has a gigantic budgetary deficit already, and it only increases every year). So, if there was a Milei in Spain, with enough seats in Parliament, they could cut the pensions in half and call it a day. Nobody would be able to challenge it in court because there is no "entitlement".

Is the situation in the US the same, or are people *actually* entitled to a specific amount, and the government is unable to legally do anything about it?
