So you think that it might be a teensy bit undesirable to have the gov't
steering the profit from your retirement funds to firms they choose?

Accountability and statements of fund performance would make this a
tough thing to play around with

What if they define "best return for the investment" differently that
you would?

This would have to be something that people in the financial
departments would have to be a part of.


For example, 'best return donated from corporation into
certain campaign funds' which is exactly what Vice President Cheney was
talking about when this whole "Social Security reform plan" got started.

Says you. You're talking utter paranoid rubbish.
