As usual, when the two political parties agree on anything, you can be sure of one thing, it must benefit them.
Once again, the public is being "helped" by Mommy Government, backed up by the rules of Father State.
You're too dumb to save money on your own, so Mommy is going to make sure you are "signed up" from Day One. And, of course, Father State will make rules to interfere with the established employer employee relationships.
AND, it ignores the fact that "one size fits all" solutions are be their very nature not what some people need.
401ks can be subject to errors in judgement by selecting badly or failing to diversify because of restricted choice. DOn't forget that most 401k offerings come with high fees as well.
Now let's look under the covers and question why these two politicians are worried about you. Hmmm, could it be that the Ponzi scheme Social Security "Insurance" is broke and gettin' broker!
So there we have it!
We're being given something that won't work for most "for our own good" backed up by laws by a pair of politicians with something to gain. Hmmm!

If you benchmark your 401(k) plan vs. the market every three years, you’ll ensure your fees and services are competitive. You should also do a due dilligence on your funds to make sure they are performing well. A plan sponsor trustee meeting is required at least once per year to make sure you are ERISA 404(c) compliants. For more information, please see: http://www.401kprofessionals.com
