The problem is that as you get older you need to reduce risk in your investments in order to rely on them more. As you de-risk your rate of return goes down. The lowest risk accounts are fdic insured, and at that point you’re losing money every year. Sure if there’s a floor on it I’d support it. But with no floor I’d be watching my savings dwindle year over year.
