I'm not averse to the idea of forced savings, I am because if a government is doing the forcing then they are in charge of investing it. And I don't want the Federal Government in control of a large fraction of the capital base of the country. Excellent point. I think it might work if the only investment vehicle used would one or a few pre-agreed upon broad indices, like Wilshire 5000. And if at least 70-80% of the money would be held in the individual's name. But, of course, all this is purely theoretical. They already blew it.
