Sounds like what we are headed for here in Kanuckistan with the thinly veiled teabagger er ah I mean Conservative party in power. Nothing new under the sun. I guess the plunge isn't over then eh?

Maybe I oughtta head south of this border, too! Anybody wanna teach me to habla?
LOL - sounds like manna from heaven to a lobby group seeking to have everyone pay for private insurance or say a uh, union fee's to me - all brought on by the will of the people no less LOL! Sometimes greed and capitalism thrive in the least likely places!
Oh please MLA! :)
But if you want - I'll sell you a manifesto cheap :)!
No thanks, David. I had to read his econ theory 2xs in college...YAWWWWWWWWN!
This is depressing. I dug out an old statement that is about 2 years old. As of then the theoretical minimum payment I can receive which is 10 years of payments is 3.46 times the amount I contributed. With that option if I drop over dead 6 months after retirement my wife can still get it for 9.5 years. That is not a very good return for all the years that they have held my money. [Although I admit it is "guaranteed".] By DaveW's numbers concerning the PBGC all I would get is .83 percent.
Similar to Social Security I tend to ignore it as it is out of my control and the rules will change so much by the time I retire I can't plan on any of it.
I've heard of manifestos before. I think I have a roll of them hanging in the bathroom. Just can't recall if they are right or left ones.
