You've got to keep pedaling the bike, SS. My alternative is the only viable. US citizens savings have to be invested somewhere, right? If people save more this savings ends up in Argentina, Russia or Indonesia. So that the interest goes back to the US as income for retirees. But I know that in those countries the money is not applied productively. It goes as salary of civil 'servants' who show up only to take up the paycheck. Government in those countries need this people that keep as electoral corrals which vote for them over and over. These savings also goes to pay retirements of the civil servants in those countries. Who retires at 40!!! Trust me: I lived in the most corrupt countries in the world: Brazil, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia. Also lived in one of the less corrupt Sweden. So that you don't say my views are tainted by only have lived in corrupt countries.
