year average % increase. I chose a Conservative Growth Lifestyle
Fund for 50% of my retirement and a Core Bond Fund for 50%, but I
could have chose any fund and any percentage, and I could change any

A "city rec & park department" is a government agency that feeds from
the public trough. They're not subject to the ups and downs of the
free-enterprise system. They don't have to make a profit. If you are
suggesting they're system should be extended to private corporations,
you're comparing apples and oranges.

No she is saying that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. She is saying she works for a government agency who offers her an opportunity to invest her money and provide her with a chance to make a better return on her investment.
