So instead of receiving plans for change, he is being attacked.
Makes perfect sense to me. Until it is demonstrated that significant change is required, all talk of significant change is nothing more than a scam.

Even if you don't agree that the current plan is heading for trouble, what's wrong with giving us a real retirement plan like the bureaucrats have? Congress has exempted themselves and government employees from SS and has given themselves a much better plan. I think it would be only fair that we be given the same consideration.
I don't think we can depend on companies to continue to offer retirement plans, they seem to be cancelling them more and more. We will have to take care of ourselves. The money we put away for retirement including SS should at least be able to be invested and build up and grow. I don't understand how anyone can be against this.
