This aligns with what I have heard from folks I know in that world. Fear motivated by exaggerating one off and isolated incidents. The information silos in the conservative world (especially news) is frightening.

I had thought that they were going after more retirement benefits, only thing I saw in the article was a $ 5k 401k contribution.
