FDA

I'd like to thank the Game and Wildlife for making sure that I don't get trampled on by any elephants. They are really on the case and doing a good job of that!

Mercury levels huh? Funny because pregnant women are instructed to not eat any fish because of the fear of high mercury levels. It's not the responsibility of the FDA. So no wonder you think they are doing a great job! You could say they are doing a great job of investing money for retirement.

U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service is responsible for all the food. They are doing a crappy job.

Strange, since the FDA is doing a bang up job.

So the melamine, peanut, tainted meat of one of the largest food processors was the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service doing their jobs? No, just like the CIA and FBI after 9/11, they FAILED the citizens they said they would protect from harm.

Again, I'm hesitant to believe that the government will be able to take care of me when the time comes.

I'm not for pell mell and this disastrous picture you paint. I'm suggesting allowing people to choose different programs that have different competitive points. Let someone opt out of the current program if they choose. If they don't choose, they stay with the current program. Allow banks and investment services to compete for the very same thing against the government. Let the SSI target a 4% return and the markets perform in a manner that is appropriate with a product that gives 4% return minimum and if the performance is higher, allow for higher returns.
