18. What horseshit. Oh, I forgot--
Social Security actually started with a mandate to invest in the stock market for retirement or get fined by the IRS. They were considering a small "public retirement option" in addition to that, but they cancelled it. But we still miraculously wound up with a goverment program covering all employees, though. How did that happen? Reconciliation, or what?
