This is all part of the push to get rid of circulated money. Everything will be debits and credits in bank accounts, with (of course) the banks getting a cut of every transaction. It's not too big a step from that to having funds allocated for expenditure categories. When all money is tracked, freedom is gone.

We're further along that path then most people realize. Those that realize it often are those who've got some gold and/or silver somewhere.

That's my take on it, anyway. Trial balloon statements such as this advocating forced allocations to retirement accounts serve to confirm those suspicions. The scariest of statements about gov takeover of retirement accounts are those that would put the money in annuities....ie: belong to the gov when one dies.

Regardless of the means of confiscation or diminution of retirement assets held by private citizens, these socialists having lost with one tactic ALWAYS reemerge with a new tack in hand. The end goal is still always the same. Make no mistake - this Teresa b!tch is a snake.

$20 trillion in IOU’s and it’s not enough for these people. The current gravy train is skidding off the tracks quickly. Need a lot more gravy to keep it running and this is one way to get it.

Make no mistake. This is just another pot of money liberals would like to get their filthy hands on to redistribute - i.e. buy votes.
