No you got me! Because we all know how fiscally
responsible the government is with OUR money and
how no private investment firm stays in business by
making money for their clients. They stay in business
because they lose money!
On top of that I really doubt that any financial
advisor or investment firm can beat what the government
can offer because they don't have the power to force
their clients to hand over more money when they screw up.
Gotta love government: "Oh we spent the SS money on
research of how cows farting are depleting the ozone, so
pay us more in taxes or go to jail".
My credit union's meager savings account has better and
safer returns. And since my CU is not the government
they can actually go to jail for theft of peoples' money.
I just loved it when all these congressmen were screaming
about ENRON. ENRON's bust was childsplay
compared to congresses mishandling of funds.

You got me, you devil you ! Of course ! know that all investment
firms are filled with hard-working, selfless servants of the public
good whose highest priority is my financial welfare, while all the
guys (and gals) who run that nefarious ss system have siphoned
off millions into secret bank accounts in the Caymans,
