If the commies do try to come after IRAs etc, with forced government bond conversion schemes, a lot of people would panic and withdrawals would spead to stocks bonds, and deposits. Converting massive amounts of pension funds to treasuries would also tank the market; most pension funds are invested in stocks and bonds of various types which means a massive sell off for most publically traded companies.
Any whiff of this crap means a run to the exits.
That’s why they’re quietly making gov’t bonds the default choice...
