This seems like staging the conversation to eliminate Social Security which conservatives are putting up next to bat.

I see the right wing think tanks are already moving the Overton Window to go after Social Security.

In addition, whenever I see someone extolling "actively managed" retirement accounts, I go looking for all the "actively managed" accounts that got pounded over the same timeframe.

If you get enough people flipping coins, someone will get 8 heads in a row. That doesn't make them a genius. Someone will also get 8 tails in a row. That doesn't make them a dolt.
