It's one of those (in)convenient diversions that offers all the wrong players all the wrong incentives. The media enjoys reporting the story because it's another "crisis event" and a typically partisan issue. The parties love it because it attracts donor and base attention. The state eagerly takes any chance to obscure the nuts and bolts of its rotten system. Changes in retirement structure involve big financial interests laden with their own variably-compromised ethics. It diverts pro-liberty activism (studying, conferencing, communicating, fund raising, etc.) down a path largely avoiding most of the reasons why the pro-liberty activists are upset in the first place.

If you let government of anybody else determine your financial future than you are at their mercy. Some people feel that it's not fair that you've invested in these program and now you don't reap the returns. We've all made hundreds of bad investments in one way, shape or form but we ultimately move on from them. If you have a job, don't get another job. Invest. Start a small business.
