Kent Conrad: “So what I would like to do is get rid of the Medicaid program.”

If you are really going to relieve me of the administrative burden, if you are going to really relieve me of the liability, if you are going to really relieve me of the cost other than the payroll transfer.

The one thing I know for sure is that what is happening now is not working.

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.

I wish I could look you in the eye and say, you know, if we just had the will, we could reverse this, and we could go back to a time when defined benefit plans were on the increase. I do not think that is in the cards.
