Oh yes, reckless to allow people freedom isn't it? Why don't we just be really, really safe and turn over all our life energy to the federal government in order for them to invest is safely?

>>I think it's a reckless ideal; what will we do when millions of foolish "investors" lose their retirement money in a volatile market????? That bailout would dwarf the bank bailout of the late 80's and early 90's.

It's basically the same as McCain's idea. You remember him? The guy who would say anything for votes and media attention - just like a Dem?

And such a plan is hardly reckless, at 2%.

Try thinking for once.
