The group includes Fidelity Investments, JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM), Charles Schwab Corp. (SCHW) and T. Rowe Price Group Inc. (TROW) Americans held $19.4 trillion in retirement assets as of Sept. 30, 2012, according to the Investment Company Institute, an industry association; about $3.5 trillion of that was in 401(k) plans. Quoting: DoorBert The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Department of Labor are the main regulators of U.S. retirement savings vehicles and funds. However, the consumer bureau -- established by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act -- sees itself as a potential catalyst for promoting a coherent policy across the government, the people said. [link to www.bloomberg.com] So this is tantamount to Obama Nationalizing The Fed and trying to save the vulnerable for Multinational Corporate theft. The Brits have a 'National' Bank, like the South Africans, and these Banks are used as a front for Corporate Criminality. 'Well, it's now in the hands of the 'Public' who have no real say in the actual operations of the Bank and the Pension Funds they manage, and the public will be held responsible if millions get lost..BoE...it's perfect when you are a Multinational writing the financial laws. As for pension funds, it's from the frying pan into the fire...all that 'Nationalizing' retirement funds will now do is shift responsibility for their mis-manangement into the hands of the public - and the BILL...A public 'protector' is a front that will shift 'mismanagement' and responsibility into the public sector, and when the blame is outsourced to the public will then revert Pension Fund 'Management' back into a more 'efficient' Private Sector at a huge cost by private 'Advisors' or 'Contractors' who Bill will credited to little pensioners...This is what they're are doing...it a con..an old trick by grizzled money whores.

Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. ------------------ Give unto the ungodly government what belongs to the ungodly government.

But I've got to question the fundamentals. How much money from these funds is invested in the stock market? It's obvious that the plan has been to inflate a bubble in the market, that's obvious when the market is approaching historic highs and yet the economy has entered another so called recession (4th 1/4 GDP was negative). Quoting: Anonymous Coward 961432 If they force retirement accounts to hold treasury bonds, then they take an equivalent amount of liquidity from the stock market and a drop in prices. So, maybe they plan on tanking the DOW permanently and then confiscating the money. But, that $19 trillion would be roughly 1/2 or $9.5 trillion. Of course when the fed can print up any money I guess it doesn't matter to the morally challenged in charge. They can always sell out at peak prices and invest in hard assets like gold, property, etc. Again, your average person who spends most of their earnings on survival will pay the biggest cost. . There's a lot of truth in this post. But if the dollar devalues, that is the only way to make the bondholders (currently, the Chinese) pay a part of the cost. Raising taxes (including Obamacare) confiscates wealth from Americans. The idea of currency devaluation is that you make the Chinese pay a part of it too. So I disagree with the last sentence. |

Each time a person stands for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to embrace the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change.
