So, first we’ve got $5,000 “baby bonds” from the Clinton campaign. And now we’ve got $1,000 “matching funds” to help shore up retirement savings. At least, that’s what I think this latest scheme is about.  I’m not entirely clear on the details, but I suspect that a generous reading of it would find that it’s a redundant effort (don’t we already have IRAs? 401(k)s or SEPAs?) with an extra bit of money kicked in. A less generous analyst might wonder where and when this ties into privatization of Social Security.
