at most, 20% of the population is qualified AND has the time to manage an investment portfolio.
Privatization and deregulation guarantees corruption.
I am agreeable to an opt-out program after you pass an investment proficiency class and test.
The result, otherwise, is a social bailout on twice the scale of the typical corporate/banking bailout, and 3x leaving SS alone.
