Gee thanks, Uncle Sam!

So you're saying I can get a tenth of the real inflation rate, on $20k of the nest egg that took us 30 years to save? Wow, that's almost as much as a burger flipper makes! Let's see, when you let me have it back, five years of 100% inflation from now, that'll be worth, what, one month's groceries and CDD fees? Gee, a whole other month before we go on the Alpo diet!

And I thought you were mad at me or something!

But howcome only $20K? Since all it costs you is funny money, anyway, why not let us do the whole thing? Even 10% is better than playing Wall Street Roulette!
