This is the low hanging fruit I can't believe no one is focusing on. Shit, why not stick a little bit into the market? Yes, there are a few conservatives who don't think the government should invest in business, but they're completely outside mainstream thinking in their own party. Yes, there are a few Dems who think any investing in the stock market is risky, but intellectually that is an unsustainable position in my view.
Why not stick a few percent in?
And, Clubby, you have private accounts. They are called IRAs.
