Probably just good politics. Then again I am sure Wall Street is supporting it, considering a government confiscation of 401k's would take trillions out of the equities market.

Either way, I don't care about their intentions here, I care about their actions. You have to be a real fucking moron to be all for the government confiscating the vast majority of middle class American wealth. Because the middle class was relying on the value of their homes, you know where that is going.
