Privatize Your Future


(via Yglesias) Remember back when the GOP thought that you should be in control of your retirement future, that you should be able shop around and throw your "nest egg" in the investment of your choice? "Choice" and "privatizing" your Social Security was the most autonomous thing you could do. Well, if your retirement had been put in the market, here's where it'd be today. (Granted, you might have done well if you retired a few months ago - but again, that's a counter-point - there's less to no security doing it this way)
