Via Neal Boortz:I've been telling you about this for a while now. This, to me, is one of the most dangerous schemes currently slithering through the crevices and dark spots of the Imperial Federal Government in Washington. What am I talking about? What I believe to be plans by the Obama administration to, in effect, seize your retirement funds and use them to finance their deficit spending. Remember ... there are more than $3 trillion dollars sitting out there in individual retirement, IRA and 401K plans. Politicians just cant stand the idea of this much money sitting out there in private investments ... out of the grasp of politicians. So .... Something needs to be done. And sure enough, something is going to be done. The Treasury Department and the Department of Labor were going to start taking comments on ways to promote the idea converting 401(k) savings and IRAs into annuities or other steady payment streams. Well you can finally take a look at this document for yourself:Request for Information Regarding Lifetime Income Options for Participants and
Beneficiaries in Retirement Plans
Here, I'll post a little to get you started:
The Department of Labor and the Department of the Treasury (the "Agencies") are currently reviewing the rules under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the plan qualification rules under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) to determine whether, and, if so, how, the Agencies could or should enhance, by regulation or otherwise, the retirement security of participants in employer-sponsored retirement plans and in individual retirement arrangements (IRAs) by facilitating access to, and use of, lifetime income or other arrangements designed to provide a lifetime stream of income after retirement. The purpose of this request for information is to solicit views, suggestions and comments from plan participants, employers and other plan sponsors, plan service providers, and members of the financial community, as well as the general public, on this important issue.

Wake the hell up, sheeple. You are missing one hell of a coup.

The a**holes in this admin are trying so f'n hard to take over everything in this country. They better not try to ram this through before 11/10 when we can finally try to get rid of the Marxist mentality of this admin. This PISSES me off...
DCG,
They have been kicking this idea around since the early '90s, but they had to shelve it when they lost control of congress in '94.
If the Chicoms and the Japanese seriously decide to cut us off, I think the far-left's next move is to go after private retirement accounts.
Other than printing more money, where else are they going to go?
After all, we know they aren't going to cut spending as long as they are in control.
