Keeping these two examples in mind, then, I’m asking myself: what issues within retirement policy lend themselves to “common objectives” rather than merely “Grand Bargains”? But it’s not merely that there’s a need for some sort of action, far sooner than with Social Security. There is a real desire for an improved healthcare system that’s not stemming from any partisan perspective. While nothing much has come of this plan, it does suggest that, again, there’s a path forward because there’s a shared objective. But legislation to achieve a common objective which goes beyond partisan-ness, maybe.
