This Retirement Security Plan structure that we have suggested I think would go a long way toward dealing with these issues.
I would say personally I would not go to a company advising me on wealth management that did not have it because I think whoever is advising me ought to have as their highest responsibility to be giving me advice that is in my interest.
We all know that Social Security is going to have to be dealt with, or we are going to face by 2034 at the latest--many of us believe it will be earlier than that---an across-the-board 23-percent cut.
I think there is just a tremendous opportunity here, and I really applaud the two of you for doing this in a bipartisan way.
