In 2008, many Americans saw their retirement accounts wiped out. Now, more than four years later, the economy still hasn’t recovered, and instead of retiring, more people are “ripping up” their plans and continuing to work. So why does Washington want to punish responsible behavior by capping retirement savings?

While Many Americans in the private sector are putting off retirement plans and continuing to work at a later age because of economic factors, the government has been spending millions in taxpayer dollars to fund a chimpanzee retirement resort. Is this the “Planet of the Apes” or just another case of Washington waste?
