The problem is that the federal government was doing this. If it was

I lived in SE DC when the great society programs hit and I saw those
neighborhoods decline into the cesspools they are now (Marion Barry's
8th ward for you folks outside the beltway)

now let's see....who was it that destroyed my 401K...the 'free market'
or the govt?...hmmm....let me think

The answer to that is "both".

Your 401k is a ponzi anyway.

and it's the ONLY game in town. the rich have structured it that way
to force workers to work until we die, creating a bigger workforce

This is not an evil conspiracy. It is just a demographic problem.
There are not enough people in the work force to support 84 million
retired boomers. The happy days generation who are in (or entering)
their 70s now are probably the last ones who will live the retirement
dream unscathed ... if they don't live too long.

Another reason to work hard at improving my golf score.
