Government. Jack of no Trades

Would you hire an electrician to do your plumbing? Would you hire a mechanic to do your taxes? Have you ever seen the government do anything right? I guess I shouldn't be so hard on the MP's and MPP's. They come from all the wrong backgrounds to govern a province or country. They muddle their way through their term only to promise the world to get re-elected for the next. The latest news is that the Canadian pension plan is suffering. Well sound the trumpets and give the MP that spoke up a gold star. The CPP has been in trouble for 25 years. If you are looking for the government to take care of you in retirement, you will be very disappointed. Anything the government has touched in the business or investment world in the past has been totally botched. Do you want them to invest your money in the volatile stock and bond market and expect a good return? If you do, I have some swampland in Florida for you. Don't ask anyone else but yourself to save for the future. Take your own responsibility for retirement.  I know it takes discipline and some sacrifice, but it will be worth it. Keep control of your own money and investing. Anything that the government wants you to do or encourages you to do, red flag it!!!! You will pay for it later on. If it looks too good, it probably is.  Don't let a bunch of silver spoon incompetents determine your future. Take control of what you can in life and work around what you can't.
I mean I'm really....
