"[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."

"[EPI is] writing to express our strong support for the scheduled April 10, 2017, applicability date of the [DOL's] fiduciary rule....

"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."

National Center for Policy Analysis [NCPA]
Sept. 4, 2013
"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.

The Economic Policy Institute [EPI]
Dec. 23, 2004
Excerpt: Like a cafeteria selling a cheap cut of meat by serving it in spicy sauce, proponents of deep cuts in Social Security benefits are masking their sour taste with the artificial sweetener of private accounts. The possible long-term shortfall in the Social Security system as it currently stands would require modest increases in revenue or cuts in benefits. However, the President has stated he will not increase revenues, leaving only benefit cuts to balance the system.
