re: I'm talking about changing a system that was created using the financial principles of 1935. Folks, in case you haven't noticed, it is 2005. 70 years later, we have learned one hell of a lot about finance and how to structure portfolios that maximize returns based on asset mix, reallocation, time horizon, and a whole host of other factors. To ignore 70 years of learning and refuse to upgrade our social security system is criminal. You sound like an Internet bubble guy. Let's all count on the new economy, and retire on our Enron stock.
