the American public just--we are afraid to tell the American public the inconvenient truth because if you tell them what the problem is, they are going to want to know what the solution is
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
We have not fixed the problem. We knew that baby boomers were going to start retiring at a very rapid rate in 2008.
we just have to have some ability to be able to constrain Congress from moving past the moment to some future milestone and give it the force of law today
