		<description><![CDATA[More crap &quot;journalism&quot;...  CapPERS should be slapped for underperforming its peers, but good grief  -- at least have an argument that makes sense.  Stringing together unrelated issues and implying causality ain&#039;t it.   
What a pension fund that didn&#039;t invest in subprime, didn&#039;t do business with Citigroup, didn&#039;t invest in financial institutions or who were aggresssive investors in developing markets?  There aren&#039;t many.  No, these aren&#039;t liberal or conservative issues.  Was Citi conservative before it needed a bailout and now it&#039;s liberal -- or, is it vice versa.  I can&#039;t tell from this story. 
Social funds fail when they deviate too widely from the market composition and exclude huge portions of the economy (which CalPERS did).  On the other hand, choosing the most efficient firms in each industry (which includes the best environmental stewards) is a darned good way to make decent returns. Oh, and look out because it might get you branded a liberal.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that term liberal is being misused. Liberals believe in personal rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the rest of the bill of rights. 
 
Leftists on the other had believe that people have the right to agree with them or they are not allowed to have any rights. 
 
I think that it would be leftists that brought about the problems - not liberals that actually believe in the Constitution ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since they&#039;re losing their rears being &#039;socially responsible&#039; (only a leftist would think it &#039;socially responsible&#039;  to put money into losing investments) the federal government will bail them out.    I wonder how much they put into those bankrupt &#039;green&#039; energy companies? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is NO such thing as &quot;socially responsible&quot; investing. There is financially prudent investing and that is that. Having co-owned a corporate tax practice, this can be stated with fiscal responsibility. 
 
In fact, those who invest otherwise are nothing more than scam artists, as they generally take their large cut off the top, and the rest of the schmucks are left holding the bag - empty! 
 
Wherever leftists/liberals troll mayhem follows - &lt;a href=&quot;http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/01/leftist-dogma-the-same-world-over-freedom-loving-people-beware-commentary-by-adina-kutnicki-32-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://adinakutnicki.com/2012/07/01/leftist-dogma...&lt;/a&gt; 
 
&quot;Social justice&quot; is code for radical left injustice, and the masses are their guinea pigs. It is the same world over . Alas, our crew, in Israel, is toxic and destructive. Its leaders are the branja pack (like the brat pack), who use their platforms to jump start political careers - always as socialist leftists!!

are their interests aligned with the people whose money they manage. In fact they often cultivate 
relationships with the big banks and investment houses, buying their dreck CDOs and IPOs, so they can then jump to a job with the fraudulent dreck-sellers. ]]></description>
