President Obama Explains The "Changes" He'd Like To Make To Retirement Accounts - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Speaking at AARP headqusrters in Washington, President Obama will announce orders to the Labor Department to write new rules for financial managers who handle retirement accounts for working Americans. As USA Today reports, The White House says the goal is to end "hidden fees that hurt consumers and back-door payments that help Wall Street brokers," deals that costs retirees billions of dollars in savings. White House officials said they want new fiduciary standards that would require financial advisers to put clients' interests ahead of their own... and "buy our bonds."

 

We wonder how long before there will be an official asset allocation by dictat...

A dollar that Wall Street skims in hidden fees, is a dollar that the government doesn't get to take in bond proceeds and spend.  But it reminds me of that article where the Chinese government was supposedly going to clamp down on Jack Ma for IP violations on his ecommerce site and we all thought, Yeah right, that's just the government bureacrats wanting their cut of Alibaba.  The fat cats will contribute money to get Hillary elected, and will be allowed to keep skimming some other hidden way.

Do government bonds even give you a return?  Between inflation and the tax you have to pay on the interest, is it worth it?  BTW, the tax you have to pay to the government on the interest gained from a loan you gave to the government is the funniest part of the whole thing.  Also, what kind of person willingly gives a loan to the government?

as I tell everyone and have been telling them for several years now:

GET YOUR FUCKING FUNDS OUTTA THE BANKING SYSTEM NOW, BITCHEZ!

Get it out now...sooner the better.  They're tightening the noose around everyone who is too lazy or scared to extricate everything they've got from their system.

Just fucking do it now.  I don't care if you have to pull a million dollars out.  Fucking do it.  You may have to do it 5000 dollars at a time until it's all out, but who cares...just fucking get it done now.

 

They've already written in the new bankster laws legalizing total theft of all funds on deposit by you in their system.  By law you have given up rights and ownership of any funds when you deposit it with them.  You are now considered a "creditor" to the bank and you have loaned every dollar you have deposited to them and they are not obligated to give it back. 

When the banks fail and close down they will close you out and give you worthless bank stocks in return worth pennies on the dollar.  You are at the back of the line when it comes to getting paid back by these mother fuckers.

It's all been written in...all western countries have adopted these new laws.  There's no fucking reason to keep any money in their system.  Are they paying you interest???  Thought so...nada!

And they're certainly not keeping it safe or "insured", are they?  Fuck no.  FDIC is a total fucking joke and couldn't even insure 10% of the money in the system...and they won't either.  It's all a big fucking scam.

Get the fuck out now.  Stash the cash away...buy a nice chunk of phyzz precious metals, especially silver.  Buy a fucking safe, and guns and hide it away.  It's certainly cheaper and smarter to do that than it is to leave it in their criminal system.

They have standards:

  - Each new retiree will receive 30% of what they put in over the years

  - All war operations will have free access to the pool of Treasuries held in the SS ponzi scheme

I think these are pretty consistent and would constitute as standards according to .gov.

My daughter got her 1099 from her bank - her checking account earned her $17 in interest.

 

I told her when I was a kid I got 5.25% on my savings account - those days are gone.

 

Do the math to understand why rates will not go up.  

 

$18,000,000,000,000 X 12%   =

You won't have long to wait.  Corp-sponsored retirement plans will be going the way of corp-sponsored health care plans in a few years.  

You'll just get pushed into the government TSP (Thrift Savings Plan) where you can choose from 5 index funds, with the "G" fund being the default investment (Government Bonds).  And, of course, it won't matter what you choose because they'll just steal the money out of it like they did the SS "trust fund".

Sadly their member/supporters are 100% blind sheep followers. So they will be all for big nanny gubmint in control of whatever they want. They never see anyting for what it really is, and obviously don't care. I guess they also think that they are "sticking it to the man".

FINRA is the only regulatory body that actually enforces its own rules and is in advisors' faces consistently.

it is pretty clear to me, that based on all of the past successes of this administration, that this is another step forward into a golden age, a utopia, that one day we shall look back upon with tears in our eyes.

 

praise obama for the great man that he is.  and his servants at the SEC who have done such a sterling job in watching over wall street actions over these past few decades.

Years ago I was an angry young man

I'd pretend

That I was a billboard

Standing tall

By the side of the road

I fell in love

With a beautiful highway

This used to be real estate

Now it's only fields and trees

Where, where is the town

Now, it's nothing but flowers

The highways and cars

Were sacrificed for agriculture

I thought that we'd start over

But I guess I was wrong

Talking Heads circa 1986 - "Nothing But Flowers"

Not sure why I posted that.  It seemed like the thing to do.  Perhaps the first and only anti-environmentalist, anti-global warming song.  I think it was anti-banker as well, but it is a reach.

Great Song, (I of my favorite)   But it's about Peak Oil and the end of Cheap Energy and what will result....

 

From the age of the dinosaurs
Cars have run on gasoline
Where, where have they gone?
Now, it's nothing but flowers

There was a factory
Now there are mountains and rivers
you got it, you got it We caught a rattlesnake
Now we got something for dinner
we got it, we got it There was a shopping mall
Now it's all covered with flowers
you've got it, you've got it If this is paradise
I wish I had a lawnmower
you've got it, you've got it <SNIP> Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

Obama is just such a fool - as are the sheeple.

I am in the process of writing my congressman, Chris van Hollen - aka Nancy Pelosi's bitch.  The thought process goes like this:

1) My aunt is 91 - can't work anymore;

2) She is getting zero/negative returns on her savings - because of ZIRP/QE/Alan/Ben/Janet/Jamie/Lloyd/God's Work;

3) price of everything she needs (medicine, food, in house nursing assistance) is going up because the demand for all that is constant or growing - sorry the Prius Hybrid stomach has yet to be invented although I know tht Solyndra is working on it;

4) Sooooo....like....she is looking at spending her last years in a urine soaked hell hole;

5) All so that the big banks wouldn't be made to pay for their premeditated sins, and the retirement fund managers who wouldn't call them to account in '02, their sins of omission, got to keep their jobs, and those 50-65 years of age got to keep the illusion that their retirement accounts - so stuffed with stocks and bonds pending implosion - were actually worth something.

So having said that.....like Mr. President Dude....ummmm....like....Barry Baby.  I see you man.  You and Elizabeth Warren are giving it to my aunt the same time you are publically telling her how you are trying to save her, and you are taking it up the a*& from LLoyd and Jamie while publically stating that it is you who are giving it to them.  Like.......I see you Dude.  OBTW: Rudi was wrong.  It isn't that you don't love America.  It is that you hate America.  You are one devious MFer.  And yes.  Gruber is correct.  J6P hasn't a clue what you are up to.  But I see you.

Right on (albeit a little potty-mouthed, but understandably so).

The ONLY answer is for BHO to direct his puppet at The Fed to put interest rates at real MARKET rates, so people like your grandmother (and mine) can get CDs and live the life they were promised in retirement, instead of being forced into risky assets.  

But, with Debt-to-GDP at 200%, that will never, never, EVER happen.

FDA approvals are no longer needed.  The decider and chief will simply give an executive nod for its implementation.   Instead of Zyklon-B, it will be called "Fucking Happy Gas" where you will spend your retirement in fantasy of paradise as created by government promises.   In other words it will be the last thing you hallucinate before you die.

Just fire evey private broker already and then repost the positions as government jobs...TSA employees can cross-train into these jobs if they want.  Outside applications from community organizers will also be accepted.  Then pass new laws that only "gains" (via US Bonds) will be allowed with these new gubermit managed retirement accounts.  We'll all be rich, bitch.

Ahhh The Kenyan monkey speaks. This sock puppet is following the script to a tee. FYI folks. There aint gonna be any retirement. SS is under water. Tax deffered savings can be taxed at 100%. Your ENTIRE paycheck (witholding) can be subject to an excise that equals 100% of what you earn and then diverted to bonds or whatever boondoggle your so called representatives decide. Confiscate, default, and reset. But the public must be conditioned to accept it. What will be the method of diversion???

A guy who was essentially a community organizer and nothing more before entering politics is now the nations financial advisor. You can't help but laugh at the gullible public. If this even remotely looks like a possible outcome financial advisors may just as well close up shop because any semblance of a free market in stocks and or bonds will be dead in the US. They will feel the need to control everything or it will all collapse and they know it.
