I think it seems to me we all have agreement that we need to fix it, even within the department. And professor light, you made a comment that i think is very important, something im concerned with. We could work real hard, have all of these intensive negotiations, Everything Else, but it doesnt seem like its that difficult to me. I think that the money were spending now we need to come up with a simple fix. Not a 100 dollar saddle on a 10 horse. For those involved in this, keep it simple and get it done quickly.

All that would have otherwise gone toward retirement in addition to any pension plan they had but isnt available any more. We know that workers are not saving enough for their retirement. We know, as youve outlined, there has been a real shift from defined benefit to defined contribution plans. And that shift puts more responsibilities on workers shoulders to manage risks and to manage the decisions. Oftentimes without having investment expertise. Youve actually covered a lot of trt that i hope to cover territory that i hope to cover in my questions with you. In particular, about how workers with smaller accounts, those who arguably need the retirement protection the most, will have access to high quality and affordable advice. So im going to move to something a little bit more specific given some of the proud traditions in my home state of wisconsin. We actually have a history of cooperatives and mutual ownership companies. So companies that are owned northwest mutual for instance. Fo
