Larry Zimpleman for The Business Roundtable and Six Other Organizations via The ERISA Industry Committee [ERIC]
Mar. 1, 2005
Excerpt: The best way to protect pensions for future retirees and working Americans is for Congress to enact permanent rules that lead to a fair and stable system. The unexpected termination of the 30-year Treasury bond in 2001, and the subsequent temporary fixes to the interest rate used for pension calculations have made it impossible for employers to project future pension contributions.

It also will result in the rolling back of a major tenet enshrined in pension law -- never take away money a pensioner has already earned."

"[B]y any definition this is no one's idea of a functioning marketplace. In a functioning marketplace prices are based on something that is explainable -- whether it's the cost of producing the product, the laws of supply and demand, or the quality of the product. In this marketplace, no one can explain a hospital's charge of $77 for a box of gauze pads, or $18 for a diabetes test strip that can be bought on Amazon for about 50 cents."
