Obama Begins Push for New National Retirement System

Such “reforms” would effectively end private retirement accounts in America, Crone warns. “These people want the government to require that ultimately all Americans buy these government annuities instead of saving or investing on their own. The Government could then take these trillions of dollars and redistribute it through this new national retirement system.”

We are so screwed.

wonder what they will force us to buy next to make it fair for everyone. Heathcare check. Retirement check. Housing check. Food check. We seem to provide an over abundant source of money for the gubmint to redistribute to those who won't, can't or don't. Don't get me wrong we should help take care of our children and elderly who can't take care of themselves. But this asinine belief that we should make it fair for everyone is absolute nonsense. So if you work and provide for your family and do what is morally and ethically right you are going to be punished to make it fair for those that will not participate. Life ain't fair folks and this admin. is proving that. WAKE UP AMERICA

It is probably beyond the reading comprehension or attention span of some on this site, though.

Thanks for the pin!

"the government needs to get involved because 401k plans
and IRAs are unfair to poor people"


What the fuck is this socialist bullshit??!


.

Lol He is all about redistribution..His father (real) is a commi after all...

Besides why QQ you were not guna get anything from your SS anyway~ They already squandered it all away.

Why do you all make statements like "There will be a civil war"? No there will not be a civil war. American are cowards. Plain and simple. Sure there will be a few martyrs, but the overwhelming majority will fall in line with the new system. Whites are the worst. Fucking cowards. Yea, I'm white and see the majority of us are materialistic fucking dogs.

Very good advice

You Americans are going to take in the pooper! There will be NO civil war!!!

Unbelievable isn't it?

Get ready to take it in the pooper!

It is starting to look more & more that what they want is this. "They" know this can only be pushed so far before people hit the flashpoint.

There is something serious happening under the surface. It is not difficult to demonstrate that all socialist systems have failed (or are miserably failing) after only a few decades.

I question why the are so aggressively pursuing such a proven failed model?

Good thread.

People need to be aware of this matter. The MSM certainly is not covering it.

it's the end of freedom and liberty.....

Yes, this will take trillions out of the stock market at well, collapsing that as well, causing the price of just about everything to skyrocket.

No way to win with leftist in charge of anything.

It's not like Wall Street has a great track record. How many lost most of their savings in 2008 when The stock market tanked. 401ks are usually tied to stock mkt.

George Carlin on retirement. Just watch it long enough.

Norway is socialist and they are absolutely THRIVING!

A person chooses & controls whether they wish to be in the stock market. 401Ks can be placed in bonds or cash if the owner chooses.

This plan will take everything you have & compel you into this system.

For an indication of how well this will work, one needs only look at the current Social Security system.

^^ This is the plan- a percentage of all 401Ks will be mandated into Treasury Bonds to finance the debt - we are totally screwed - and liberals are to blame - they voted for this human error who calls himself Obama.

I agree Lady Jane. IMHO, I have thought for quite some time that everything from the (forced) housing crisis, to the (forced) economic crisis has all been to further push the Liberal Progressive agenda, but also to make their man Obama look as Licoln'esque as possible. Then, what better way for him to look even more Lincoln'esque than to preside over a civil war. May sound crazy, but this has been stuck in my mind for several months now.

One thing they do need to deeply consider, if this is their goal, is that such actions tend to have very unpredictable outcomes.

I believe they will overplay their hand, if they have not already.

Norway is prosperous since the national resources belong to the state providing ~20% of income to the governement. Our president won't permit the expansion of our drilling here so there is no comparison to the US at this time. Unless the libs move to nationalize our oil/gas industry. Which is possible - note the vid by Waters when she slipped up and mentioned this.


The Norwegian economy is a prosperous mixed economy, with a vibrant private sector, a large state sector, and an extensive social safety net. The government controls key areas, such as the vital petroleum sector, through extensive regulation and large-scale state-majority-owned enterprises. The country is richly endowed with natural resources - petroleum, hydropower, fish, forests, and minerals - and is highly dependent on the petroleum sector, which accounts for the largest portion of export revenue and about 20% of government revenue. Norway is the world's second-largest gas exporter; and seventh largest oil exporter, making one of its largest offshore oil finds in 2011. Norway opted to stay out of the EU during a referendum in November 1994; nonetheless, as a member of the European Economic Area, it contributes sizably to the EU budget. In anticipation of eventual declines in oil and gas production, Norway saves state revenue from the petroleum sector in the world's second largest sovereign wealth fund, valued at over $500 billion in 2011 and uses the fund's return to help finance public expenses. After solid GDP growth in 2004-07, the economy slowed in 2008, and contracted in 2009, before returning to positive growth in 2010-11, however, the government budget is set to remain in surplus.

So.... what are you going to do about it, white man?

Thread: Nationalized Retirement Accounts

Come on now the administration has been talking about this since they got in office. Gov needs a captured buyer for US Treasuries, China's not buying any more so that engine for global leverage, err I mean "growth", is history.

Accounts won't be confiscated, all your money will just be rolled into one gigantic fund to buy US debt since all other buyers have left the building (minus the Fed).

Of course, there will be no real money (or purchasing power) left in your account come retirement.
