Somewhere in the not to distant future is a "grand compromise" to secure our financial future. The longer we wait for that compromise the more the threat of some type of "personal wealth or personal property tax" increases. I have no idea how this will pan out.

As for my original post - SU is rallying nicely today.

"That, in effect, would be a nationalization of 401ks and IRAs". If this start becoming serious, I can see a exodus of liquidation of both traditional and Roth IRA's for those who are able to without penalty (except taxes, of course) into cash. It would be a disaster for IRA's as we can see it today.

In September of this year the US Treasury investigated the possibility of requiring retirement funds to hold a percentage of government securities in their investment portfolio. That, in effect, would be a nationalization of 401ks and IRAs.
