of course there is down side for doing nothing. how many people vote independent? how many people under age 50 want their own savings plan? By offering up nothing i expect they may lose these votes if they had them to begin. I certainly think there is a lot of down side for democrats not offering any programs in congress. It will could be vote them out and they lose more seats.

What you seem to be saying is that there is one party (Republicans) that are interesting in addressing the issue, even though the easier path would be to ignore it and leave the problem to others at a later date, and other party (Democrats) that are just interested in trying to score points for themselves even if the problem does not get fixed. I would be ashamed to be a Democrat if the above statement is true. It helps me understand why they keep losing ground in elections. They are willing to ignore the interests of multiple generations under the age of 40.
