I heard something like the government was trying to get the funds to take more risk. Something about the government would have some kind of back up for them. What I think they want the funds to come back to this country. The pension that I have sent money overseas about 9 years ago. We tried to keep the fund invested at home but we were losing to much money. I just remember when the government got control of the teamsters fund it lost a big hunk of money. This is not the first time the government starts looking to see if they can get control of different funds. Greg could you do a article on pension funds.

IMO,the lesson to be learned from Madoff is not competence or lack thereof at the SEC; rather fear of retribution among the regulators. Take on a well connected whale like Madoff and you not only have to be right, you have to convince a 3 judge panel. Fail to convict and your career is over. The real lesson here is that corruption in our system is so vast and far reaching, well even Greg's expose on AIG and Dylan Ratigan's segments concluding that AIG committed insurance fraud is not only not being investigated; WE BAILED THEM OUT AND PAID THEM BONUSES!!! Nothing short of a 2nd American Revolution will save us now. All the best, Thrash Hey Greg,

A risk-free life only exists in a utopian's mind. Taxpayer's cannot be the go-to-people to eliminate risk for Wall Street and Main Street. We need to let failing companies die. The good ones will be reborn from bankruptcy. The worthless companies will go away. The unions that helped to bankrupt companies (like GM and Gettlefinger)will have to find a new host to blood-suck from (We do need unions; however, we need serious government oversight of Unions). Insolvent institutions are like a cancer on your body; you must excise them or big trouble comes later. thanks, markm Hello All,
