American retirement funds at serious risk of being seized

First, a warning: Accept the US governments own financial statistics at your own risk. Federal debt, unemployment and CPI, just to name a few, bear no resemblance to reality

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

Brazil will become the US of the past.

Big boss from China came here. His associates invited my friend for dinner.

Big boss invited my friend to join his enterprises saying:
"Whenever you are tired of this negro country, join my company."

"Where?" my friend other Brazilian doing Optical fiber in metro Luanda. (I do countryside long haul)

"You choose", he said. Canada or China. "I would prefer you to go to China. I have the biggest share of infrastructure in China. Only big cities. "You don't know China." he continued "China is booming big time."

My friend said:
"I would be honored to join your company, seeing that you trust my capabilities, but for the moment, I am staying here"

He is putting together a program (os his spare time) to teach enterpreneauralism to negro students in public schools here. I think he is more a teacher than project manager.

The Chinese said. "Anytime, you call me."

I said to him:
"Are you crazy!" tell your wife, pack off, go to China. "Open bank accopunt in HK. Tell him to put money there. And go work.
After 5 years in China You can work anywhere."

This guy has lots of money.

Each province in China fight with each other for creating more jobs and enhance business. You choose a province that is struggling. Tell him that he intorduce you to government and tell how to enhance job prospects of teaching China youngsters enterpreneauralism.

He staying put.

His family is coming here after Xmas.

He complained Jimny cannot carry the mother in law and sister in law.

The big boss said: "Ok take this car. Use for your family.

He gave him a Ford Explored.

My friend said: "Hey this is too big and too nice for Luanda."

He said. "Don't worry. I pay for gasoline. You just pass in there full it on credit. I pay the biull end of the month"

My friend thank him but said that he'd paid for gasoline.

He said: "If car break down. just call me and I repair it for you"

TJ Your really going to have to provide a more solid argument instead of vague innuendos and clever retorts that really don't address the issue.

I doubt anyone is pursuaded by your recent statements.

Your an insightful guy... reflect a bit and don't jump to immediate knee-jerk justification and support of all things Chinese especailly using such transparent and empty argements...

Looks to much like George W. Bush supporters method of operation, Right at all costs and over all else!

B/Rgds
