    Default Here we go again, TSP going PC?

    Good morning,

    There are several articles at Fed Smith that concern our funds. Below is one.

    http://www.fedsmith.com/article/1272/ It looks like the morons in DC are eyballing our retirement money.

    A couple of other Fed Smith articles.

    I just hope I can retire before the socialist start raiding our retirement money for their pet "entitlement" programs.

    Have a good weekend all.

    LOL! They do it every year and have been doing it since 1987! Every time they reach the debt limit and fail to extend it they "borrow" from the trust funds. You didn't know this? There's a thread in the forums on it.

    Ha, a major reason it's index funds because some of us can't invest directly in certain industries because we'd have a major conflict of interest. This proposal needs to die before it reaches the floor.

    Sure, thus the title, "Here we go again.....", it's just one of these days... well who knows. We used to have a full 5% $1 match. Anyday now I except a $.50 match on the full 5%.

    Anyway, have a good weekend.
