        I don't think puting away $2,000 a year for retirement is going to work.

        It definitely couldn't be that the boomer generation destroyed our global economy and then resisted all efforts to repair it, while sabotaging all proposed safety measures to prevent or diminish such occurences

        Because we must almost completely rely on 401-Ks for retirement planning, even though they were designed to supplement, not replace, pensions?

        It's almost as if corporations have been directing windfalls at investors instead of workers, depressing wages and making it harder to save for retirement

        Is that downslope from the 2008 stock market crash? That hurt big time.

        It's because 45-50 year-olds got totally screwed. College exploded in cost, but you had to go, so you borrowed. Pay stagnated from working age on. Health care costs skyrocketed. Housing costs skyrocketed. Pensions disappeared and retirement is now in the hands of a rigged market.

        With GOP actions like the #Eisenhower start of borrowing from Social Security, #Reagan “Trickle Down” economics and the attack on labor unions and non-union wages through to #BillClinton deregulating banking to boost lending in housing market...This paved the way. #BothParties

        Because of decades of liberal Dems irresponsible tax and spend agendas. Huge influx of illegals also absorbing disproportionate welfare funds.

        Tax and spend under Democrats has produced less debt than the Borrow and spend policies of the GOP. Things started heading south when Reagan brought trickle-down to the forefront like in the 1910s & 20s. History is repeating itself. Welfare to corps surpasses welfare to people.

        Nice prose. Unfortunately wrong.Last 8 years Obama added ten trillion in borrow and spend + raised taxes. Reagan ‘s “trickle down” actually effective in terms of growth, prosperity, jobs. Read a book, study something-stop wildly repeating partition foolishness.
