i want to start with you, congre congresswoman.t we just heard were members of the other party saying essentially that the military is being sacrificed on the altar of entitlements. how do you respond to that? >> well, first of all, they haven't even seen the details of the budgets. for them to come out already against it tells you they haven't even had time to do their homework. secondly, it's the job of the congress under article i, section 8. we pay no it. we'll have a process. we'll have hearings. but more importantly, all of the heads of our different departments of our military, our head army general, for example, have agreed to the numbers that secretary hagel and the president have put forward. so, you know, again, they are screaming ahead of time before we even take a look at it. what is the mission westchester the defense departments or services to do and that will drive how many, what the sizes of that military and what capabilities we fund for them. >> and that was a very good question. what is the mission we are lookin

>> the one ceiling we do need is a debt ceiling but congrs actually handed the executive a blank checkso while american families are cutting back to live within their means, the government has eliminated, raised debt limit for entire year. that is real problem. if we have one ceiling it should be on the national debt. gerri: that's a great poi. before you guys go i want to show some number here. average 401(k) balance according to fidelity, $89,000. ceer for retirement savings, retirement research at boston college says it is far lower, 42,000. not enough money. we need all the help we can get from the federal government to save more. we don't need barriers. great job both of you thank you. >> thank you. gerri: and now we want to know what you think. here's our question tonight. are retirement plans under assault by greedy politicians? log on to gerriwillis.com. vote on the right-hand side of the screen. i will show the results at the end of tonight's show. >>> another example of the crisis in the public pension system, the public pension system. detroit today filed its plan to dig out
