Yeah, republican governors in 4 states have tried to take away government worker's like union firemen, teachers and police pensions and their ability to collectively bargain. Does Wisconsin ring a bell?
Plus the link claims that Obama personally will confiscate all private pension funds. what a load of Right wing republican scare tactic, crapola. No way would he or could he do such an outragious thing. Anybody who believes this is truly deaf, dumb and blind to the truth.
The government confiscated the gold not too long ago so don't think it can't happen. You really don't think they could pass a law forcing you to shift your retirement where they want or force heavy taxes or fines? Of course they could do it. Wake up.
Hey..follow what is going on if you want. If you don't think this is plausible then don't follow it.
But don't deny that the talks and proposals aren't happening because they are and have been for a few years now.
In all cases it involves the Fed Government taking ownership of all retirement funds and making decisions on the distribution of those funds upon retirement.
The Latest move can be found in the Obama Administration`s, 256 page- FY 2013 Budget Proposal. The revival of his 2008 presidential run, the “Automatic IRA†which has now “Evolved†into two proposals: Secure Choice Pension & Government Retirement Accounts (GRA’s), both of which automatically- “Mandate†5% - 6% contributions into Government Run Pension funds.
There is no page 256. The last numbered page is 250.
Also doing a search for "Secure Choice Pension" shows no results.
I'm not seeing anything on any creditable news sites yet. It seems to be a wild claim made only on right wing blogs so I think it is safe to say this is not creditable.
Exactly!
Remember when all the right wing nutjob sites were claiming the Benghazi was a terror attack by an al-Qaeda linked group? My God, how nutty can you get when EVERYONE knew it was caused by anti-Muslim movie on youtube!
Good times, good times!
I mean the President was saying it wasn't terror related, Susan Rice was saying it wasn't about terror and we all know they are the kind of people who would never lie.

Just leave them in their world and let them then deny it even as it happens.
