We have not fixed the problem. We knew that baby boomers were going to start retiring at a very rapid rate in 2008.
the challenge with Congress is that we create commissions and we create task forces and we look at problem sets, and we develop potential solutions, and then there is no real mechanism to give them the force of law
I am glad we are having the conversation up here today about the prospects of a continuing resolution, because you can probably count me as pessimistic about this committee's ability, for a lot of reasons, to get responsible legislation…
when you are this deep in the hole, you better consider every available option on the table or else you are never going to fix the problem.
