First both of y'all need to read several really long articles on the realities of corporate pension funding issues, have an understanding of what has led to the laws that are in place today. Then you can be in a position to evaluate the proposals and comment on them intelligently, rather than just using them as a prop for your grandstanding. There are some pretty major tax advantaging considerations that tend to drive companies' thinking (and what they tell their lobbyists to push Congress to do) that really aren't ever mentioned in the debate, which is framed in simplistic terms. As are all of the debates. Oh, fuck it, nevermind.
Mmmmm, chocolate cake.
