Those word things you wrote look like <i>facts</i>. I prefer to get my opinions by looking at pictures of Chilean models.

The problem -- if you ask me -- with a wholly privatized retirement system is that is discourages retirement when the economy is in a downturn. People stay in the jobs (if they can) waiting for better conditions in their 401k (or whatever). A better public policy is to encourage those people to retire so jobs open up for younger workers.
