davebarry: Cogent points. But two questions. Would you endorse a plan that transitions younger government workers (say, under 35) from a defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan? I would like something whereby taxpayers are not on the hook for former employees throughout their life expectancy. I have a personal friend who has been retired longer than they worked, and received far more pension income than they ever made while employed.
Second, would you support the ability of current workers to voluntarily transition from Social Security to a complete defined contribution plan, with a return of all monies paid into the plan (no interest)? The notion that citizens in their 20's are required to pay into this is obscene.
