401(k)/IRA Nationalization Quietly Moves Forward

"The U.S. Treasury and Labor Departments will ask for public comment as soon
as next week on ways to promote the conversion of 401(k) savings and
Individual Retirement Accounts into annuities or other steady payment
streams, according to Assistant Labor Secretary Phyllis C. Borzi and Deputy
Assistant Treasury Secretary Mark Iwry, who are spearheading the effort."

They want to "get" people to invest their 401k's and IRA's into annuities,
or likely into U.S. T-Bonds, which are in the biggest overvalued bubble the
world has ever seen.

They are doing this because they will have $2 Trillion Dollars in bonds to
sell this year, and foreign buying is drying up. China doesn't want them....
Do you?

Who's behind it?

The White House and a powerful network of Congressional activists, and The
highly-influential Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. They are engineering a
new regulatory and tax-incentive. The purpose is to herd and ultimately
force Americans to convert their 40l(k)s and IRAs into government-directed
retirement accounts.

The 40l(k)/IRA de-privatization plan is the brain-child of Teresa
Ghilarducci (Schwartz Center for Economic Policy Analysis - SCEPA), who is
funded by the Rockefeller Foundation.

The extreme tactics used to ram nationalized health care down the country's
throat are a blueprint for what could be the biggest asset grab in history.

This is exactly what took place in Argentina. Yes, Argentina was once a
powerful nation; the 3rd wealthiest nation until the 20th Century.

Another reason as to why our government needs to nationalize retirement
accounts...

Is reported by the New York Times, "This year, the system will pay out more
in benefits than it receives in payroll taxes, this important threshold was
not expected to cross until at least 2016, according to the Congressional
Budget Office." The trickle of red ink will soon become a flood under the
pressure of 78 million retiring Baby Boomers.... Less money going into the
system!

Who will you need to Trust in the Handling of your money?

The March 9 edition of Business Week notes that new federal regulations
designed to "promote the conversion of 401(k) savings and Individual
Retirement Accounts into annuities or other steady payment streams" would
help drive cash into government-controlled entities such as American
International Group (AIG), which was bailed out to the tune of $182.3
billion.

You Do Trust AIG.. right?

The Real Question Is..

Is there a safe haven for retirement accounts?

Tangible Gold & Silver.

Oh! No! Just last week, I got a letter saying that Obama is going to
confiscate all my gold. So I sold the gold and purchased bonds. Now you're
telling me that Obama is going to take all my bonds so I should purchase
gold. What a dilemma to be in. I'm going around in circles.

Just because they're coming to get you doesn't mean that you're
paranoid!

FWIW, I've read that one major nation state (Argentina) did indeed
confiscate all private retirement accounts within the last decade.
Perhaps there have been others.

======================

oly, where have you been? Wake up! It's the North Korean model. First
they totally control the economy through fiscal and monetary fiats. Then
they steal everyone's savings by diktat. With the stroke of a pen last year
the North Korean dictators made everyone (presumably except themselves)
paupers - and that in a nation state where everyone already was a pauper by
world standards. Haven't you seen that pic where Obama has the North Korean
flag in the background? :-D

As a token gesture toward being on topic, why aren't there any posts here on
North Korean coins?

Maybe because the last coins made for circulation in N. Korea came off the
presses in 1987. Since then, everything has been NCLT in silver and gold,
and collector commems in base metals, which could circulate, but don't. I
have no idea what actually does circulate there.

Hi Dan, long time!

It was the Japanese who used Cho-sen as the name for Korea when it was its
satellite between the world wars. Guess how I know that.

I learned it by collecting world coins and studying the cultures and
histories of the countries that produced them from various sources,
including coin catalogs and books, some of which I've had since boyhood.
Such education is one of the great joys of numismatics!

Even though yes, I am very, very old, you cannot possibly know when I
learned that fact. It could have been fifty years ago, or fifty
quarter-hours ago, or anything in between.

That notwithstanding, congratulations on your perspicacity!

Yes, and in a little over a year, effective Jan 1 2012, they slipped a
little provision into the 'Affordable Health Care Act', that anyone or
company who buys anything from anyone else, over $600 - must file a 1099
with the IRS providing them with the social security # and name of the
person they bought it from. Start digging out your old receipts - as
the burden will be on you to prove how much profit or loss you had -
should you decide to sell those coins...and buy new ones...might want to
consider selling now...

Frank is just being a good German. Don't try to confuse him with the facts.
Democrats are good, Republicans are bad. Case closed.

Therefore, the "Healthcare" bill is good. After all, most of the Democrats
in Congress voted for it and all of the Republicans voted against it.

Still, I look at what Frank's selling and have to question this: 1862-S

I, for one, didn't even realize that "Trends" gave values for cleaned coins.

Actually the problem is that how much do you withdraw from your 401(k)
each year, not knowing
what the interest rates or value of stock investments will be, nor how
long you will live, to keep from
running out of money. The Obama administration simply wants to
encourge people to convert
their 401(k) to an annuity (run by an insurance company, not the
government) which will give them
a guaranteed amount every month for the rest of their life.

Yet Fox News and talk radio misrepresent this as "Nancy Pelsoi
stealing your 401(k)"

I would just like to point out that my knowledge of the Chicken

_parents_ bought those albums.

When I look at that, and add to it : 1)the cars we had when I was
growing up, 2) living a block from the beach, and 3) we could watch
what programs were broadcast in color on our Zenith console TV with
the Space Command 600 remote, I can only conclude one thing:

My parents were cool enought to have been members of the Rat Pack.

I, too, had "The First Family" as a young 'um back in the day. After
joining the Navy, some of my albums "disappeared." Then one day I was
visiting my local pawn shop (no real coin dealers in my area). After
viewing the numismatic goodies he had, I flipped thru the albums in
the shop. Lo and behold, there it was, a used album for sale for the
original selling price of $2. And it was in good shape. Of course I
had to scarf it up.
