I just heard the tail end of that. I told you he would propose it. Regarding the 2%, I thought that was related to how much of the contribution could be dumped in. Not 2% of the total, but 2 of the percents withheld and maybe the matched. Pretty vague, but it is on the table. I'm not so sure what the heck happens now, as if funds flow out of T's maybe they get replaced by fund flows out of stocks into T's.

In any event, it will be an excuse to ramp the market, as expected. -ng-

That's 2% of the 12+% that's currently withheld. I wonder how that county in Texas is doing with their Social Security opt-out investment plan. A year or more ago, they were boasting about people retiring early.

if the returns are now less than 2%, the system is clearly in need of reform. but plans top put SS funds into stocks amount to a HUGE contrarian sell signal.
