In this July 6, 2012 file photo, President Barack Obama signs the Surface Transportation Bill, in the East Room of the White House in Washington. A new law reduces by billions of dollars what companies have to contribute to their pension funds, raising concerns about weakening the plans that millions of Americans count on for retirement. But with many companies already freezing or getting rid of pension plans, critics are reluctant to force the issue or even make much of a fuss. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais, File)
