There's been a move on to force IRA's and 401k's into Treasury Bond's for a long time...

Now that Barack Obama has been reelected he's going to push harder than ever to seize private retirement accounts. To sign NSC's emergency petition against Obama's new National Retirement System scheme, just click here.

That would seem to indicate that it is fairly recent.

Re: Obama going after your 401k's and IRA's
Principal Financial, a top provider of IRA, 401k, CD, savings accounts, called me, and emailed me to get a hold of them, so I did, (I thought I closed my accounts down and got back my $10k I put into it.) I apparently setup a backup savings with them 25% of my gains went into that account, they wanted to know if I wanted to close my account and get a payout.. So I said yes...

Something is going on, I never seen banks get a hold of you to GET your money... LOL

Check out this statement in the article:

So working and saving is unfair to the poor. Definitely liberal sickness.

Re: Obama going after your 401k's and IRA's
I hope the self-righteous fools who chose not to vote ("the lesser of two evils") realize that in essence they voted for Obama by default by allowing the "idiots" to in fact determine the winner of the Presidency!

The "idiots" with their hands out, that want "stuff" from the govt. are now going after the redistribution of retirment plans. So now the people with FREE "Obamaphones" are going to be demanding FREE "Obama Retirement Plans"!!!

This is SO fucked up!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25720208


Wrong, The president has never and will never be elected by the common man's popular vote.
The office of the President is ONLY and will ONLY ever be determined by Electoral College votes.

"The United States Electoral College is the institution that officially elects the President and Vice President of the United States every four years. Electors are chosen by each state and by the District of Columbia, but not by territorial possessions of the United States such as Puerto Rico and Guam. The number of electors in each state is equal to the number of members of Congress to which the state is entitled.[1] The Twenty-third Amendment has always resulted in the District of Columbia having three electors. There are 538 electors, based on there being 435 representatives and 100 senators, plus the three electors from the District of Columbia."

Well, he has a lot more flexibility now that his election is over...

BTW, having watched Obama during his first term, his M.O. seemed to be that he'd put up a "trial balloon" to see what the reaction to an idea would be, then it'd just disappear off the radar. (And WE would congratulate ourselves on having slapped down yet another cockamamie Obama idea). But, I doubt whether he was abandoning those various ideas, rather, he was using the time to craft a way to defuse/eliminate the opposition to them, or figure out a way that they might be implemented without any input from the voters (or Congress) at all. Executive Orders have been Obama's "gold mine", so prepare yourselves to see a whole lot more of them during this (his "final") term.

Re: Obama going after your 401k's and IRA's
They talked about this same thing during a Senate hearing about it a few years ago. What sucks is when your IRA or 401k is just big enough to worry about but not big enough to cash out and really be able to do much with. That's me. I'm 43 looking at 20+ years before I can touch it without major penalties. Cashing it now would be the right answer if there was going to be a serious revaluation of the currency coming very soon and if I could do something meaningful with it i nthe time remaining. If there isn't going to be a currency revaluation and I take it out now, I will not have an investment acount to retire on without starting from scratch and putting back in huge amounts of money. Sucks big time.

It took me 4 years to do it. All I paid was a 10% penalty because I did not have any other income at that time.

Obama Begins Push for New National Retirement System

A recent hearing sponsored by the Treasury and Labor Departments marked the beginning of the Obama Administration’s effort to nationalize the nation’s pension system and to eliminate private retirement accounts including IRA’s and 401k plans, NSC is warning...

...Deputy Treasury Secretary J. Mark Iwry, who presided over the hearing, is a long-time critic of 401k plans because he believes they benefit the rich. He also appears to be one of the Administration’s point man on this issue.

..."This whole issue is moving forward very quickly," warns Crone. "Already there is a bill requiring all businesses to automatically enroll their employees in IRA plans in which part of every employee’s paycheck would be automatically deducted and deposited into this account. If this passes, the government will be just one step away from being able to confiscate all these retirement accounts."

holy crap, we already have a national retirement plan it is called social security. the federal government wants to start yet another redundant program in order to have yet another program to raid and steal money from those of us who work so they can buy votes from the shit who do not.

jesus, where will it stop? only when every fucking person in this country starts paying taxes will it end. while there are those who ride on our dime they will continue to vote themselves more of our money.

no, you are missing my point. the problem now is that there are far too many who pay no taxes and actually get money from the government in the form of welfare. they don't give a flying fuck about how much the rest of us have to pay as long as they get theirs.

they don't care to change anything because they have no financial stake to lose. i don't hate the those who take nearly as much as i hate those who vote to take more from us and give what isn't their to give to the parasites and leeches.
