It has already been proposed after the last market crash. Of course, it is only ‘for the security of the people’.

OH YA. Put it into a treasury note that has how much debt? That’ll work real well.

They’ll suck it into the big black hole and you wont see a GD penny.

This is a good deal, for the government, not for the citizens who will participate in it. China doesn't want to buy our bonds anymore, and have in fact announced that they will not. The Fed stepped in and bought them for years, but now they are sick of it, and don't think it is effective. Japan, the next biggest buyer, is going to start net selling because they need to start cashing in their retirement funds.

So, either we can cut our budget to the level where we don't have to sell bonds, or we can just find another customer.

Welcome suckers!

First, it is voluntary for people with no other retirement savings. Then it becomes mandatory. Then 401ks get rolled into it. And then the levels of required investment keep increading, until finally Atlas shrugs. But it keeps the game going for a little longer.

Get your money out of the Matrix.

When this guy says something is “no risk,” better run for your life.

Everything Obama comes up with is risky to your financial well being.

Continuing debt funded QE was my first thought when he said this. Guess I’m not the only one who caught that.

Right now it’s a person’s choice whether to invest in the bonds. Obama wants to make it mandatory.

Bet he renames them “Obama Bonds.”

Sort of a 007 twist - - - .

“Name’s Barry, - - - Barry Bonds.”

Who get it after you die? Your children? Or the government? I bet this is another government scam to steal your wealth.

Just wait until you wake up one morning and find out your 401Ks were all converted to them.

The government of this country does not have a financial position to guarantee jack! They will seize that money when they please just like every other fund they have. Please do not buy the lies, you will end up broke.

Step 1: Create the MyRA bond.

Step 2: Forcibly convert ALL IRAs and 401/403b to MyRAs by forcing them to sell all current holding and buy MyRAs with the resulting cash.

Obama will now do for retirement what Obamacare has done for healthcare.

The author is Tyler Durden? Wasn't that the name of Brad Pitt's character in the movie Fight Club?

This is all about getting their hands on the 401Ks, nothing more, nothing less.
