Notice it is the liberal publications that promote the idea of a stock market collapse. Obama would love to see an economic collapse. Just imagine what he could do after imposing marshall law. taking advantage of the Crisis and allowing a Teresa Ghilarducci type swap of your 401k etc for a new Gov't Type Annunity ( SSI on Steriods ) and now have total control of that part of your life....

Their, fixed it....

I really don't see them being that brazen. What is a real possibility, though, is to declare that stocks are too risky for retirement assets and require a significant portion of all retirement accounts be in government issues. Bingo... a market for government debt.
