The kick depends on how much gunpowder is loaded in the cartridge – for target practice you might want a lighter load. If you are looking to blast through walls to kill the bad guy on the other side, go with a hotter load (of course you wont mind the kick so much under that scenario). Ask at the range, they can steer you to the right ammo.

There is a lot of ideology in this thread. A look at history would be useful. Greenspan, rather than giving the GSEs cover, was long an advocate of reeling them in.

Let’s say that I lease an apartment for $1000/month and I intend to continue leasing it for the next 100 years and pay as I go, out of my future earnings. Does it mean that I have $1000 * 12 * 100 = $1.2 million in debt?

This analogy must be adjusted to get apples to apples.

Let’s say that you sign a 100 year lease for an apartment at $1000/month. YES, THIS MEANS THAT YOU HAVE $1000 * 12 * 100 = $1.2 MILLION IN DEBT! Unless you PLAN to break the lease (equivalnt to telling those retirees, right when they need the money, that, sorry, no Social Security or Medical Care.)

To make it EVEN WORSE, if you do what the Federal Govt is doing, you start puting the monthly rent on your credit cards. Even though you make $800 a month after tax you spend that on a car, going out to eat and NEVER pay down your accumulating credit card debt. Your plan is to continue like this for the next 100 years.

It is not sustainable.

We just went through this process at my company. With one MAJOR difference. Rather than parking the funds in cash, they mapped each asset category in the old accounts to best available matches in the new account and put the funds there. In about 70% of the cases it was the SAME fund.

You may want to raise hell about the approach your company is taking to the conversion. But cash may not be such a bad place to be for a while.

Good luck.
