My entire point in mentioning TIPS is that if we eliminate inflation risk the only risk left is risk of government default.

Which can take open or disguised form.

So, how is the government making my retirement more secure?

Without government your money, retirement and investments become worthless pieces of paper. I know many people who experienced it a NUMBER of times. America is lucky to be a strong state and protected by the oceans so many things are taken here for granted.

Sure, no government equals anarchy. So, I should be happy the government doesn't screw me even more? Can't we have good government and private investment for retirement?
