Last week the Senate Finance Committee held a hearing on “promoting retirement security.”   

During last week’s GOP presidential candidate debate, Texas Governor Rick Perry grabbed headlines by reaffirming his position that Social Security is a “Ponzi scheme.” 

It’s been a stressful week—and it’s not over yet.

I was in London for a few days last week.
