Wow, first it was the head of the FDIC that wanted the 401k`s to give to the banks to help prop them up...............and now this garbage. Well, it`s like I said, they won`t be happy till they have control of every dollar out here.
I had a feeling this crap was in the works. Do you notice how they are forcing everyone to do all of these things now by law? First health care, now they want to do it with this.

One aspect of a new and improved federal regulatory scheme is the seizure of 401(k) retirement plans and the subsequent government-administered disbursement of the funds. In Chapter 3 of the Annual Report on the Middle Class released in February by Vice President Biden and the White House Task Force on the Middle Class, the Obama administration calls for enhancing the “retirement options” for the middle class by imposing “new regulations to improve the transparency and adequacy of 401(k) retirement savings.”

I've read ~3 articles on this. Any other info or verification on
"confiscating" IRA accounts?
Thanks
Moreover, with the Obama administration needing to raise nearly $1.5 trillion just to cover this year's anticipated federal budget deficit, and with the Federal Reserve discontinuing efforts to purchase U.S. Treasury debt, the Obama administration is looking at 401(k) and IRA accounts as trillions of dollars that could be forced into Treasury bonds to finance the federal budget deficits.

Going after people's retirement fund in order to force purchase of U.S. Treasury debt.
