I have no doubt they would if they could. But I'm trying to wrap my head around the idea of how they would do it without outright rebellion Most 401 (k) are employer run and I can't see the US government mandating them to transfer the value of the stocks, bonds to the treasury

It will be really simple and people will laud them for it. They will "protect" private retirement by requiring all qualified plans to be invested (say 25% or 50%) in "safe" treasuries. Nobody will ever have to worry about losing their retirement to "evil" financial institutions.

When Bush wanted to let young people put part of their SS into the market liberals went ape-chit

Now I'm sure dems would jump at the chance to rob our 401 K out from under our noses

Damn hypocrites
