When I was a kid a million dollars meant you were set for life. Now it would be an existence. Three million after the wave of obamaflation hits will probably be below the poverty line.

Is not turnabout fair play. so Obama can only have $1.00 in his retirement account. It is only fair, because Obama is truly an ass.

It is unfortunate that most Americans don’t/won’t understand your presented facts. SS is an entitlement program akin to Medicare/Medicaid, unemployment and so on and so forth. Besides, those SS dollars have already been spent on other Federal programs the ‘masses’ demanded but couldn’t/wouldn’t pay for.....

“Is this a comedy act?””

“It’s fascism... with a laugh track”.

Every day, it’s a search for either good news or a laugh out loud.

I can now shut down and get back to my day.

“”Facts are stubborn things”, but not nearly as stubborn as a social security recipient who believes that his monthly check is an earned right.

Banks in 2008 generated 26 percent of income for GDP. They over leveraged when the housing market imploded. Gov had to step in to buy the toxic assets and make the banks solvent again. This bailout was financed with money printing when T Bill sales could not cover the costs of bailout and budget deficit. Right now our current debt is 16 trillion plus another 90 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Today the US Treasury must print money to buy the sales shortfalls in the T Bill sales.
Biggest nightmare for US gov is the money printing is starting to ignite inflation and does nothing to jump start the economy. After six years the US economy limps along and the Fed Reserve is in the risk zone as money printing continues. If inflation ignites, money printing is no longer possible, and the monthly shortfalls in sales of T bills must be covered or the US is in default. That must be avoided at all cost because the US national survival is at stake. Gov will use whatever means necessary to survive. That is why our 401k/IRA are being sighted for taxation or raid because it is about 9 trillion which can be used to cover many monthly T Bill auction shortfalls. Once all the pensions are depleted, the bank savings accounts are next. Of course before that happens the powerful ones at top of the communications chain will get the impending acts first and will move a bulk of their wealth out of country before the financial repression begins. Just look what happen to Cyprus. The average guy is learning that the 1 percent of Cyprus moved their money out before the bank holiday. CEO who ran the bank had his email and the bank records on the transfers totally wiped out of his computer and bank system. Gov investigators are unable to investigate and the ones with the inside info may get away scott free.

Where does that moronic imbecile have the right to tell free citizens what they can or cannot have in their retirement accounts?

There are so many rules on those retirement accounts and that is even before this. I am not sure if i understand the whole thing. Is that 3 million in one account but you can have several? Most of us are not going to have 3 million in our total retirement anyway.

Obama figures the more crap he throws at the wall, the more will stick. It's the whole Cloward-Pliven thing.

At what point do we become the unreasonable ones...?

Back during the campaign when he had that most teachable moment when he told American business owners, “You didn’t build that.” Inside the text of the speech were a number of other statements like....

Your little house...
Maybe take a little vacation...
http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2012/07/13/remarks-president-campaign-event-roanoke-virginia

All this rhetoric and policy to keep the little people little, submitted to working for the man...sound familiar? Amazing to think about how liberals, democrats, and progressives don’t see they have become that which they themselves hate.

What amount was “reasonable” for John Corzine to steal for his retirement? Apparently, he was not over the limit because that crook is still running around free.

What amount was “reasonable” for the Clintons to get from the Chinese in grocery bags full of cash? I guess they were okay because he’s still loose and she’s going to run for president.

What amount did you and Michele sock away when both of you got into the lottery of Democrat politics in IL after your very brief fling at being lawyers? It must have been hundreds of thousands but who’s counting, since you’ve moved on up to the White House now.

The government wants the taxes on that money, now. They want it because they know that it is more than the a person is likely to spend in their lifetime, and they don’t want to wait until the wealthy die.

They would like to take over all the money, and pay it back as an annuity, but they know that anyone who accumulated anywhere near 3 million dollars in a retirement account isn’t about to allow the government to manage their money.

I guess the gov is to now make a list of what are resonable items for Americans.
Education
House
car
salary
kids
pets
Groceries in pantry
vacations
golf games?
all excluded for Gov Officials of course.
Oh and of course 0 tolerance on GUNS!

Sort of like what the Hilde-beeste (Hillary) wanted when she wanted to take over people’s 401(k) plans. Give it back with just 3% interest and the government would keep the money.
