Barone has been a big proponent of the "Roe effect" previously, and has also discussed abortion on Fox several times, with the various societal effect (negative) that result from it. I doubt he ignored it, he may have just neglected to mention it, or simply avoided the redundancy.
My personal opinion is that the housing combined TARP conspiracy, yes it was a conspiracy was to 'socialize' 401Ks. When the majority are in a world of hurt they will voted in anybody that promises them whatever their heart desires.
Their (these community activists) objective is to destroy the 'free' independent productive middle class. No socialize government has ever allowed a 'free' independent middle class to survive. The majority of US readily accept taxation without representation so long as it is viewed that government is punishing those better off than ourselves.

401(k)s have been around a LONG time. They didn’t need to be socialized as most companies have moved from defined benefit plans to investment benefit plans. Even the public sector had the 501 plans of the same nature.
Yes, 401Ks have been around a LONG time, and there is/was a huge pot of independence 'gold' that the wealth re-distributors were/are greedily eying to control/destroy. Did the GM stockholders get bought out? What is the value of the stocks held before it became BamaMotors?

I don’t get your point. There is a thing in investing called the “portfolio effect.” My portfolio is a decent blend of aggressiveness and caution and has performed pretty well.
Now, as to the redistributors eyeing our private funds, we obviously agree there is the danger.

I am not sure this is the best link to demonstrate what some have been studying in a 'promise' to protect investors.
Good for you, I am NOT against investing, but I am wary that these greedy thieves are working to help US protect our investments.
Well, freaking duh.
If the Republicans attempt entitlement reform, the rats cry shame on you for throwing seniors in wheelchairs over a cliff. The rats' only answer, of course, is to raise taxes. Since the Republicans are certainly not about to tape "kick me" signs to their own backs, and the rats are too cowardly to come out and admit they want an expanded socialist welfare state and massive tax hikes to support it, serious entitlement reform ain't happening. Period.
Michael Barone: ...Social Security. It has been completely successful in wiping out poverty among the elderly. Old ladies no longer have to eat cat food to survive. But we pay some prices for this. One is a lower savings rate.That's bullsh!t. Savings rates were fantastic during those ever-so-wonderful Carter years, because the interest rates went through the roof. Back when a lot of us were kids the regulated passbook rate was 5%. Because the economy remains weak, the interest rates on loans remains low, which means there's little money being made, and what little there is shrinks month by month -- and that means no capital formation.
No slip. I saw that in a cartoon years ago with a man lifting up a bull's tail and the bull looking back at him with a perplexed look. I've been using that phrase ever since.
And, yes. I think we are facing the bull's a$$ and a whole lot of what comes out of it.
