We had literally hundreds of people and groups come before this commission. We listened intently for all sides on how we could fix these challenges.
This Retirement Security Plan structure that we have suggested I think would go a long way toward dealing with these issues.
What we have done is we recommend harmonizing withdrawal rules for 401(k)'s and IRAs.
If we are going to have tax-advantaged vehicles to encourage people to save for retirement, then the savings ought to be for retirement.
