"The Government does better...." Yeah...all we have to do is look around us. The Forest Service does a good job, and so does the Park Department. The Secret Service and the Military Forces do a good job, IF the Dang US Adm stays out of their every move..... BUT as far as Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare...let just see...are any of them solvent? Were the funds invested when they were collected? So what happened to those funds and the interest that was gathered? Did ANYONE in the US Government consider that when they took over the Banking and other related industries that just "maybe" the market would collapse? How much interest is anyone getting these days on their retirement funds???? Normally, it takes a 12% increase to stay even with the cost of living. Anyone even a little bit close to that?
