I would just say in this whole area of lifetime income options, there is a tremendous opportunity here.
We create a basic minimum benefit that will apply to about 10 percent of Social Security.
The bottom 20 percent of earners get a 35-percent increase over what is scheduled, a more than 60-percent increase over what is payable.
If we are going to provide tax incentives for people to have retirement savings, then it should not be used as a piggy bank to pay for other things.
