There was a related round table on CFR recently

Is U.S. Finance Hurting Growth?"

Is it hurting growth? I'll have to run that by my "financial advisor", Vinnie Boombats, as he takes 5 1/2 percent of every dollar that I put into my retirement account. I have barely convinced him already that I do not earn enough to pay any longer for his variable life insurance policies that cost me exorbitant sums of money.
