maybe they just use the 15 trillion dollars currently in US pension plans...

"
Reports out of Washington indicate that new retirement annuities may be promoted by Obama aides. This is just the beginning! The question every successful American with substantial retirement assets must ask is “what will you do if our retirement funds are forced to become the buyer of last resort for US treasury obligations?” Unless you believe Congress and Washington bureaucrats will do a fair job of allocating and distributing your personal retirement assets between yourself and others, you must begin now to protect your assets.



The retirement trap I’m writing about is only a proposal at the present time and since it may well begin in the latter years of the Obama Administration, assuming the Democrats can somehow maintain their majorities in Congress, I’m calling it the “Obama Retirement Trap.” But make no mistake, the government need for current revenue and their frenzied search for liquidity to monetize their debt obligations is an unspoken quest of both political parties. The establishments of both political parties will do whatever it takes to stay in power, including the raiding and pillaging of your retirement funds.

Let’s see: $15 trillion in private retirement plans vs. $15.1 trillion in national debt. After the passage of S. 1867 in this upcoming week, my advice is to be quiet when the government takes the rest of your money or you and all of your assets may disappear into the night without a trace."

maybe one could protect oneself by investing some IRA money in illiquid areas, such as real estate, which might be excepted from purchases of treasuries/annuities by US govt?

and, c2,

between you and i, as we are unable to forestall the inevitable, we must therefore support the bankers with our wallet even if not with heart and mind

we must getgold, get it physically, and get the idea incorporated into our chromo-lattice

whenever we see rocks we must automatically think ... what would fall our if we sprinkle cyanide on the rocks?
