Am I Saving Enough for Retirement?

How about some articles to attack the political side of why the first decade of the 21st century was dismal in terms of return on investment to most small-scale savers and why the second decade may be even worse?

EVERYBODY knows they need to save. Most people don't know why their bank CDs are stuck at artificially low rates with the Fed holding rates too low after 9/11 and again at present. Most people don't know why tax cuts for traders have made "buy and hold" stock investments into a perverse joke.

USNWR could be going deeper than admonitions to "save more", and it should.
