re: #634 PISSED

heres a link to one website… not sure of veracity…

google confiscate 401k’s or something along those lines…

IMHO there isnt going to be any retirement if this continues…

[Link: www.jbs.org…]

While the John Birch Society is not an org I have any affection for, this is true. It began with testimony:

“The testimony of Teresa Ghilarducci, professor of economic policy analysis at the New School for Social Research in New York, in hearings Oct. 7 drew the most attention and criticism. Testifying for the House Committee on Education and Labor, Ghilarducci proposed that the government eliminate tax breaks for 401(k) and similar retirement accounts, such as IRAs, and confiscate workers’ retirement plan accounts and convert them to universal Guaranteed Retirement Accounts (GRAs) managed by the Social Security Administration.”

Not sure where it stands at this point.
