Usually it helps to cite the page when you quote a document. Are you referring to this (which is an 'example speech' for politicians to make to the public, not an initial proposal):

Quote:
You will have a small number of investment choices—diversified index
funds. One fund might be a government bond fund. Another could be a
corporate bond fund. And a third might be a broad-based stock index fund.
You would decide how much of your money goes into each fund. You will
not be picking individual bonds or stocks within a fund. Each fund will
consist of hundreds of different companies. This protects first-time investors.
They will not be able to go very far astray, due to the safe, limited choices.
(page 74)

I wonder what all those mights and coulds portend. Regardless, I think that document supports what I said, despite your attempt to rewrap it.

Good to see the republicans are finally on board with the government protecting us with safe, limited choice
