That's EXACTLY what they want to do. Let the "free market" and the Stock Exchange do its work.

I work at a big state university and came on board just a few short years after it converted real, actual pensions to 401Ks. I am gonna die in my 90s (given my family history) while still working. I'll probably be living in a Westinghouse box under a freeway overpass, too, given where things are going in this country.

TL;dr? GRRRRRRRRRRRRR....

Ultra MAGA is alright for the transformers movie but MAGAtron or GalvaTrump would also work.

Yet Jonathan Barber (Ayco Personal Financial a division of Goldman-Sachs) said 401Ks were never meant to be the primary retirement vehicle. And yeah, repukes have longed for decades to kill the New Deal. Besides controlling stranger's pregnancies and sexuality, it's the wet dream of the Christian Nationalists (aka Republicans).

Affluenza defense for robber baron Republicans (like Scott). No convictions. No prison sentence. No justice.

The "sleepy Joe Biden" is the only joke the Republicans have, they say it all the time (I recently had to unfollow a guitarist who made a video with that "joke"), they will never gonna give it up, never gonna set it down.

"Republicans are currently gathering the signatures of red state governor's for a Constitutional Convention."100% the goal.Two outcomes: 1. Gov't collapse, complete chaos ensues, corrupt corporate entities profit, ala post-Soviet Russia.2. Wealth hoarders rewrite the Constitution in a way that a US-brand feudalism is forever entrenched.

I don't want to hear about gas prices unless its followed by a mention of the skyrocketing profits for petroleum conglomerations.

They're professional thieves, so I guess they figure they never have to invent anything themselves
