America’s Failed 401(k) Experiment

The spam filter installed on this site is currently unavailable. Per site policy, we are unable to accept new submissions until that problem is resolved. Please try resubmitting the form in a couple of minutes.

While the unfunded pension liabilities in many public retirement funds have receivedan inordinate amount of attention, the larger retirement deficit of most Americans is not generating the level of concern that it deserves. Individuals who have been left on their own to save for retirement in 401(k) accounts face challenges that are not being met. As a result of the financial crash that led to the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the retirement savings of most baby boomers -- which were already inadequate -- were reduced to levels that may create genuine impoverishment as the boomers retire and enter their 70s.

Because 401(k) accounts are rarely professionally managed, individuals are often exposed to excessive risk. When the market goes bad, individual investors are hit the hardest. Many Americans with 401(k) accounts lost one-third to one-half of their "nest-egg" when the equity markets collapsed in 2008 and 2009. Because most boomers are now well over 50 years of age, they have little time to accumulate adequate retirement savings.

Rather than focusing on the real problems facing most future retirees, much of the media has been focusing instead on problems facing public retirement funds. While the funding levels of some of these plans will present real challenges in the future, the problems can be resolved over a period of 30 years under generally accepted accounting rules. What's more, the combined deficit in our major state and local government retirement systems represents less than 2 percent of total state and local government spending over the coming 30-year period. When we consider that many state and local government budgets have been cut by 10 percent to 40 percent over the past three fiscal years, it's not too difficult to see how governments can rebuild their pension funds once the economy recovers and tax revenues return to more normal levels.

Most government pension funds have 70 to 75 percent of the assets necessary to provide promised benefits. On the other hand, the median 401(k) balance for workers who have had consistent access to such an account was just $43,700 at the end of 2008. But, most employers do not offer such access, and many workers do not have the ability to consistently save. So, the median account balance of all 401(k) accounts is less than $13,000, barely a fraction of what is needed for a secure retirement. In aggregate, the gap between what Americans have saved and what they will need in retirement has been calculated at $6.6 trillion.

The contrast is clear: While public pensions have decades to cover their relatively small deficit, many individuals must accumulate sufficient savings in little more than a decade. Given our current financial straights, this may be impossible.

The public policy implications of these facts are real - and severe. The longer we delay addressing this issue, the more intractable the problem will become. Ironically, at the very time our retirement savings crisis is demanding attention, some politicians think a reduction in Social Security benefits is essential. Republican Leader John Boehner, for example, supports an extension of the retirement age to 70. This may sound like a good solution to our problems for him, but it simply makes retirement less secure for most Americans.

So, what can be done? First, we need to recognize that our current retirement programs, based on individual accounts such as 401(k) plans, are a failed experiment. Enacted during the late 1970s and early 1980s, we now have the experience of a generation to clearly demonstrate that individual investors do not have the skills, time or interest to properly mange their retirement investment portfolios. Indeed, a study by the National Institute on Retirement Security found that professionally managed pensions can deliver the same level of retirement benefits at half the cost of a 401(k)-style plan. This means we must investigate policy options that combine the portability features of 401(k) plans with the professional investment management, long terms asset growth strategies, shared risk and guaranteed income streams that make traditional pension plans so efficient.

Second, we need to stop inflicting unnecessary damage to our fragile retirement systems. Attacks on Social Security and traditional public and private sector pension plans only make our problems worse. We need to provide our pension systems with sufficient time to recover from the aftershocks of the implosion of our economy. No one is seeking a "bailout." Rather, we simply need to allow pension plans to function as intended, with a reliance on long-term growth strategies to weather the ups and downs of an increasingly volatile investment environment.

At the end of the day, our traditional pension systems will remain strong and will continue to be the cornerstone of retirement security for those Americans fortunate enough to participate in such programs. For these and other Americans, Social Security will almost always be the bedrock of a secure retirement. But, for the tens of millions who must rely on Social Security alone, more must be done to help them save in order to live out their elder years in dignity. The sooner we have a serious conversation about this issue, the better.

Air Jordan

ordan lorsque michael jordan intégra le monde de la nba en 1984, ce ne fut pas seulement le début d'une carrière sans égal, mais aussi le début de la série célèbre « Air Jordan » de nike. le fabricant d'articles de sport accorda toute une série de chaussures et d'habits au basketteur doté apparemment de talents surhumains. cette série fit tout de suite sensation : l' Air Jordan 1 fut interdite par la nba puisque la combinaison des coloris noir/rouge ne correspondit pas au « code vestimentaire » de la nba à l'époque. pourtant, cela ne put empêcher le succès mondial de cette sneaker unique. au contraire : la chaussure de basket déclencha une véritable hystérie et est, dès lors, lancée dans une nouvelle édition chaque année. jordan - plus qu'une simple chaussure de basket les spots publicitaires de jordan sont aussi innovateurs que les produits eux-mêmes. au cours des années 80, avec spike lee alias mars blackmon, ils conquirent les écrans de la télé. aujourd'hui, les spots pour les différents modèles d'air jordan sont toujours de vrais classiques sur youtube. de nos jours, le jumpman ne se porte pas seulement sur les chaussures : Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 5, Air Jordan 10. ils se distinguent par le design typique de la marque et convainquent par une excellente qualité et des matières haut de gamme. en 1997, nike externalisa même la série de jordan : aujourd'hui, la marque de jordan développe ses propres produits, mais coopère néanmoins étroitement avec nike. des joueurs comme carmelo anthony ou dwyane wade portent le jumpman dans la nba. ainsi, michael jordan reste présent dans la meilleure ligue de basket-ball du monde.

So What? “401(k) theft” nailed it

401(k)’s offer EVERYBODY WHO WORKS the same tax-deferred retirement savings that union members and government bureaucrats with extravagant pensions have.   When these union thugs and bureaucrats are working, money to pay for their extravagant pensions is set aside and grows tax-deferred until they receive their extravagant pensions, JUST LIKE A 401(K).  But, these greedy union and government employee thugs don’t want the rest of us to have the same tax breaks that they have.The other thing 401(k)’s do is allow peasants to accumulate wealth.  If you accumulate wealth, you will become conservative, BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO CONSERVE.   This is abhorrent to liberals/socialists/Marxists.  Their vision for America is a nation of grateful, obedient peasants, totally dependent on the government for their next meal.  The liberals’/socialists’/Marxists’ biggest fear is a nation full of self-sufficient people accumulating wealth.   (Liberals/socialists/Marxists also want to take our guns;  they need us unarmed to make the “obedient” part of their vision work.)Social Security is the mother of all wealth redistribution, Ponzi schemes, 50,000 Bernie Madoff’s.  Now, the liberal/socialists/Marxists have figured out that too many unwashed peasants have accumulated wealth in their retirement accounts, and now they want to turn the 401(k)’s of people who work and save into their NEXT wealth redistribution, Ponzi scheme.There’s something I’ve noticed about all the liberals/socialists/ Marxists I know.  They spend every penny they make, and then some.  THEN, they want me to pay them to sit on their dead butts for the last 20 years of their lives.If you save 20% of what you make, starting from when you start working, you’ll have plenty of money for retirement.   If you make $22k/year, learn to live on $17,600/year.   If you can’t make ends meet on $17,600, buh-bye cable TV, cigarettes, beer, tattoos, i-Phones, i-Pads, 60” flat-screens, restaruants, etc., etc., etc.  Also, buh-bye free time:  get a second job.  If you “do not have the ability to consistently save” 20% of what you earn, party down and then plan on working until you die.If you make $200k/year, learn to live on $160k.   My liberal, lawyer cousin and his liberal, lawyer wife haven’t figured this out.  So, despite their $200k/year incomes, they’ll expect me to… (drum roll)… pay them to sit on their dead butts for the last 20 years of their lives.Pensions don’t lift people out of poverty, WORK and spending less than you make lifts you out of poverty.  That’s how my wife and I became millionaires, with 90% of our wealth in retirement accounts.  We live in a 1500 square-foot house, drive old cars, and take modest vacations.  (I also later inherited a couple of million dollars, without paying a penny in inheritance or estate taxes. Thanks, Obama!  But, that’s not germane to this particular discussion.  If you have a problem with that, too bad. Get over it.)This whole miserable website, and the greedy, thug organizations running it are dedicated to one thing:  taking money from me, and handing it over to somebody else. … wealth redistribution, nothing more, nothing less.   That’s the cornerstone of EVERYTHING  liberals/socialists/Marxists stand for.

Wow.  What a bunch of propaganda this is.  I haven't heard any holders of private 401K accounts call for a take over of the government of THEIR PRIVATE ACCOUNTS AND MONEY.  What I'm seeing is the public sector calling for the takeover of PRIVATE accounts to be distributed amongst EVERYONE.  This is theft.  Tale a moment to think about it.  It's theft. This isn't going to fly with the private sector at all--especially those of us who have lived well below our means for over a quarter of a century so that we would be able to care for ourselves in our retirement.  We went on no vacations, our children had no extras, we bought no new gadgets, never went out to dinner, bought affordable homes.  So people like me who have sacrificed, who have seen other people HAVE IT ALL and to hell with saving for the future, aren't too keen on handing over OUR MONEY to those who didn't plan or lived foolishly.  It's not our place to bail out the world.  We have enough trouble taking care of ourselves.  The people who play by the rules are getting increasingly pissed off at what's going on in our government because we see there's not point to do anything if someone else is going to be there to pick up the bill at the end of the day. Pretty soon you will not have cash cows such as myself to milk.  KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY MONEY FOR RETIREMENT.  I went without today so that I would not be a burden to anyone in the future.  Maybe more Americans should get a clue and do the same instead of advocating stealing from someone like me.
