"What happens to the person who has to retire in a downturn of the stock market?"

The stock market hasn't moved in the aggregate since Bush was first sworn in. If you'd bought an index fund then, you'd have made NOTHING in 11 years. With the newly defined economy, where global corporations profits are considered the "economy", while tens of millions of Americans have lost their jobs, likely forever, to cheaper foreigners and robots, our traditional metrics no longer measure the health of any American's "economy". The jobs the transnational corporations create are no longer here, or for humans.

The question government SHOULD be answering is, how will these people, who's numbers increase daily, survive?
