Mr. gull,
Perhaps so - other things being equal. But are other things going to be
equal?? Additionally, the private accounts would appear to be primarily
for the post-Baby Boom generations. After all, the eldest of the
boomers are nearly ready to retire. They would hardly be impacted by
such a practice.

Jim is probably the oldest baby boomer and he is only 55, hardly ready to
retire.

Another problem with the concept in #61 (that retirement is obsolete) is
that people are pushed to retire to make room for new generations. "Old"
people have more health problems, have a smaller potential further service
life than young workers, generally have higher pay that new employees, may
not be up on the latest gadgets, may be harder to retrain on the average,
and are, well, just LOOK OLD. Nasty.....

haha. Actually, I think there is a lot of wasted human capital that
occurs because of our culture's views on hiring older people.
