Now that the market has given up over ten years of ephemeral "gains", isn't it great that all those current and soon-to-be-retirees with 401Ks/IRA's lose twenty, thirty or more percent of their retirement income? And who benefits? Oh, maybe the super-rich who now pick up those securities at bargain basement prices with the ability to wait out the decline and reap the increased share values later after the gov't steals more money from wage earners to reimburse reckless speculators and their institutions. Like Steely Dan called it-- the Royal Scam.

You GOPig voting fools fucked yourselves and the rest of us by supporting politicians who work for people who, guess what-- AIN'T YOU AND AIN'T US.

But hey, working people, by all means, keep voting for GOPig and Dem politicians who put the interests of mega-rich shareholders ahead of working folks because someday you might be a super rich shareholder instead of some working schlub.

In your dreams, doofus.

Oh, how's that privatized social security thing gonna work out for ya?
