"In When the Good Pensions Go Away, Thomas Mackell suggests remedies to the quagmire that has been created by the conflicting interests of the health care and pension service providers, the aging population, and the inertia that has permeated our policymakers. Mackell proposes a "New Deal" for restoring fiscal sanity in Washington, reimposing budget discipline, rolling back irresponsible wartime tax cuts, and investing in America and its people." --Book Jacket.
