and we would take care of them ahead of our own, for potential voting gain.
Who runs your 401k plan, because i want to sign with them. I just broke even this year after losing lots money while dumping piles in since trump left office. I can't believe you clowns are so brainwashed. One thing about it, dems stick together and are willing to go down with the ship....Yup my 401k has gone thru the roof the past 2 years, unemployed at record lows, inflation caused by insane public spending by the last 2 administrations is back to the target rate, gas is cheaper/ yeah it tells me a lot.
I'm not brainwashed or a democrat. Everyone's 401 has different investment options. For the most part it's up to the individual to decide where to put your money. When the covid hit I could see the hand writing on the wall. Since I was close to retirement I moved my money to safety and got back in close to the bottom. We can have a conversation about inflation and the true purchasing power of money but thats a different conversation. If you have lost 25% of the dollar value since 2020 you need to look at where your money is invested.Who runs your 401k plan, because i want to sign with them.

I bet if the Govt wasn't so corrupt offering all the freebies we wouldn't have all these guest either. And if the Govt wasn't involved so heavily in their countries they wouldn't be coming here again. Just because their leaving a chithole to come here. Doesn't make it the best. There are many reasons for this. As I stated a few. And let's not forget about the drug trafficking. I would really be curious to know the ACTUAL number on this one.It's very imperfect for sure, but I'll take our democracy over any other form of government in the world right now. If ours wasn't the best, we wouldn't be having all these conversations about immigration, because people would be leaving here to immigrate to other countries. That hasn't been the case for hundreds of years and it's not the case now. Can't remember where I heard this quote but it's accurate in my opinion "our system of government sucks, but everyone else's sucks a whole lot more"
I'm sure everyone's 401 is a little different. If all you have is a retirement date fund that sucks. Most I have seen, mine included, have several index funds both stock and bonds and cash or company stock. You decide where the money goes. The administrator just handles the transactions. Where a lot of people screw up is they get scared when the market drops 20% so they sell. Then they wait too long to get back in. If they would have rode it out they would have been better off. When the markets are tanking and there is blood in the street is a time to buy not sell.Trowe price runs my plan for my selected retirement date. Maybe i can just pretend to be an illegal and gets some free stuff, thats probably where i went wrong.
Where is better though? And if there's somewhere way better as far as how their government works and the quality of life (including for guys like us 2a type rights) why wouldn't you try to move there or at least spend most of your time there? I know I would. If I thought the US was horrible and corrupt and New Zealand had it all figured out, I'd ditch this hell hole and move there.I bet if the Govt wasn't so corrupt offering all the freebies we wouldn't have all these guest either.

As far as drug trafficking, don't even try to say that was any different under trump than Biden. Illegal Drugs have been readily available in this country for a very long time. In my 50 plus years on this planet, I've never heard of people having some cash for drugs and just not being able to find any. I actually think legalizing them would probably be the most effective thing at this point. Make them cheap and it will largely remove the crime problem associated with them.
take a look back in history, and you will see the correlation between American debt and welfare. It's no coincidence.I bet if the Govt wasn't so corrupt offering all the freebies we wouldn't have all these guest either.

In 2018-2019-2020 I was making more money in my 401k (Fidelity managed) every month than my salary as a Regional Director. Then the first quarter of 2021 my 401k tanked and lost 20-25%.My retirement account has ran flat for the last 3 years, thank goodness for trump getting me up to where I was before 2008
