        You are not alone, 99Forever. Here in Detroit, nearly all my family and friends are in the same boat. Our 401(k)s became 40K PDQ. While customer service isn't bad, personally, I think they treated me better when I worked for the corporation.
While there has been some discussion of the issues involved on DU, there has been very little of substance discussed in the halls of power or on the television news. Never discussed is how the men and women we've elected to serve us, have largely served themselves.
