ira accts

I am already retirement age and have an IRA acct w/Morgan Stanley which I tried to have transferred to a fixed interest acct back in August, before this latest debacle. Supposedly they did not receive the transfer request papers so now I'm in the same boat with everyone else who hasn't moved their money to a safer venue. I don't have the time to build back what I've lost. In fact this is the second time I've taken a hit, did so back in the 90's and was told to "hang in there." I will have to continue to work until I'm found dead at my desk at this rate. Is the government going to bail me out and who should I send my request to for aid? I'm sure going to need it. This is repulsive and disgusting. The big shot CEOs should be made to pay back their golden parachutes -- it's nothing more than thievery.
