Should the federal government have access to our savings/401K/retirement accounts? (Obama, dollar)

[OzzyRules]

I have heard that this is a natural course of expanding government.

Do you think it is a good idea?

[Dale Cooper]

What do you think?

Of course not.

[OzzyRules]

I don't like it either.

But I thought perhaps those who favored bigger government might prefer this type of system.

[BentBow]

Nope!

The natural course is means testing. The old mattress looks better every day.

Of course they shouldn't, but they do. It's called a "printing press", and they can control the value of any investment, savings, or interest accruing account you own.

Absolutely.

No.

But don't be shocked if Obama tries to nationalize all retirement savings...he would do it.
