Hair Krug for Men

Once again, Paul Krugman kicks ass and takes names, while explaining just how completely full of crap the Social Security privatization advocates are:

Decades of conservative marketing have convinced Americans that government programs always create bloated bureaucracies, while the private sector is always lean and efficient. But when it comes to retirement security, the opposite is true. More than 99 percent of Social Security's revenues go toward benefits, and less than 1 percent for overhead. In Chile's system, management fees are around 20 times as high. And that's a typical number for privatized systems.

Go!
