"[EPI estimates] the cost to retirement savers of an additional 18 month delay to be between $5.5 and $16.3 billion dollars over the next 30 years, with a middle estimate of $10 .9 billion. Given the large, persistent losses suffered by retirement investors as a result of a further delay of these provisions, [EPI opposes] any delay of the full implementation and enforcement of the rule."

"We estimate the cost to retirement savers of each additional year of delay to be $7.3 billion dollars over the next 30 years.

"[EPI is] writing to express our strong support for the scheduled April 10, 2017, applicability date of the [DOL's] fiduciary rule.... [R]etirement savers and other investors would be harmed by the delay, while the financial industry would benefit.... [T]he costs to savers of a delay far outweigh any benefits to the financial industry."

"While we recognize that the SEC has an important role in setting the standards that apply to broker-dealers and investment advisers, many of the questions you ask were satisfactorily answered by the [DOL], the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA), consumer advocates, and other experts representing the interests of retirement savers who submitted comments and testified in the process of crafting the DOL fiduciary rule.... We urge the SEC to build on the DOL rule addressing conflicts of interest that harm retirement savers to extend protections to other investors."

"Our research indicates that paid sick leave for federal contractors could improve job quality for hundreds of thousands of workers. Our estimates suggest that between 694,000 and 1,053,000 employees of Federal contractors may directly benefit with additional paid sick leave, including an estimated 450,000 to 775,000 who currently receive no paid sick leave."

"The EPI's report shocks and awes with charts and graphs showing the savings disparities between rich and poor, black and white, young and old, etc. None of the data appears to be incorrect, however, many charts border on misleading and the blame for all inequality is placed on 401(k) accounts which is completely and irresponsibly wrong."

Lack of paid sick time means that an illness can potentially cost a family thousands of dollars in income and jeopardize their ability to afford food, rent, health insurance, and many of the other basic goods that are essential to well-being. Just three and a half days of missed work because of illness is equivalent to an entire month's groceries for the average family.

"[W]hether or not most retirement savers who currently rely on a broker's conflicted 'advice' will actually hire financial advisers instead -- a doubtful assertion -- 'advice' from brokers is not comparable to advice from disinterested experts. Similarly, even if the industry's prediction that the rule could cause investors to lose access to some investment products is borne out, it does not follow that investors will be harmed since these products are unlikely to be in savers' best interests."
