The problem, however, is about to get much worse. Betting on government to "solve" today's issues, is a recipe for disaster. Unfortunately, the people who fret over investing a couple hundred dollars in a mutual fund (because its too risky), go along with (and even advocate for) all these bailouts and knee-jerk regulations, which are significantly more risky than a plain-jane diversified mutual fund. Your welcome. You've got a great blog! I agree with you. The problem, however, is about to get much worse. Betting on government to "solve" today's issues, is a recipe for disaster.

Those who don't expect somebody else to take care of them. I suppose we will always have that problem. The day of an employer being responsible for a person's retirement are over. Personal responsibility is very big with me. Since ultimately we are responsible for ourselves, the government should allow us to save the way we see fit. Social Security as is won't get the job done. But as always in America, those in true need should be and will be taken care of. Neighbors, churches, local communities have always stepped up. We just don't like for the government to take our money and disburse it the way they think best. Nothing Right or Left about that, just common sense. Thanks for your kind comments at Right Truth, much appreciated.
