The government's already in the space business, marriage business, road business, check your hamburger business, and on, and on, and on. Now they're in the help-you-save-your-money business: the New Savers Act. This will supposedly make it easier to open bank accounts, buy savings bonds (government bonds, of course), and put money away for college. Sorry for the cynicism, but was any of that stuff hard to do? I opened up a bank account when I was 8 years old. Doesn't take prolonged study to perform such an easy task.
Evidently Americans don't save enough. But isn't that our choice? Do we need more laws to help us save? Soon they'll be monitoring what we eat, just like Britain (Child Act of 2006). I think I need to go watch V for Vendetta again.
