'The Retirement Gamble' Facing Us All -- PBS Frontline Show on Retirement Crisis Airs Tonight
PBS Link to more items from this source
Apr. 23, 2013

"America is facing a retirement crisis. One in three Americans has no retirement savings at all. One in two reports that they can't save enough. On top of that, we are living longer, and health care costs, as we all know, are increasing. But ... those advertisements are imploring us to start saving for one simple reason. Retirement is big business -- and very profitable.... And as long as they don't run away with our money or invest it in a Ponzi scheme, they have little in the way of accountability to us when something goes wrong. And even then it can be hard to fight back." [Note: The author, Martin Smith, is the PBS correspondence who prepared the FRONTLINE story 'The Retirement Gamble'.]
