Current Trends And A New Wrinkle -- February 26, 2026

Locator: 50063TSP. 

"Peanut Butter raises." 

Quick! Name the biggest "entity" that has used the "peanut butter raises" concept for decades? US Department of War aka Department of Defense.

TSP: Thrift Savings Program. This may have been the biggest "thing" (financially) that ever happened to me when DOD began to offer TSP to all members, and at the same time, grandfathering in current active duty members with the existing pension, back on October 1, 2001.  Now, President Trump is thinking of offering this program to any American earning a W-2 form who works for a company that does not offer a pension. My hunch: if this happens, it will eventually be extended to a much larger group. It's George Bush's vision to provide an alternative to social security. Does this president ever sleep?
