I collect a Social Security Check every month, and am truly glad to have the support of that very successful program. We all know that the Republican Party, the new Catfood Commission (The Super Congress), and all of the wing nut Republican Presidential candidates are for privatizing Social Security.
The ups and downs of the stock market the last few months should make Americans acutely aware that the market is no place to be when you are counting on funds being available for retirement. The Market has been down as much as 400 points today. The turmoil in Greece and Italy and the problems with the Euro are affecting us here in the US and will continue to cause severe problems for investors.
John Cole at Balloon-Juice.com has an excellent post on the subject of the Euro and the Stock Market today. The breakdown on the subject by Paul Krugman in particular should provide a wake up call.
