“help”

*snicker*

[Cowgirl of Justice]

And so it begins.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Step #1 in implementing the Teresa Ghilarducci “all your retirement funds belong us” plan.

[SumProVita]

The government wants to “HELP” us?

by taking a class and doing a little research, my ira and 401k are doing just fine, thank you... i beat the market on a regular basis...

stay the hell out of my bank account

[I want the USA back]

Oh sure! They really take us for a$$hole$! (They’re not too far off - half of the public voted for 0)

This is how it starts. They “manage” the money. They think they know what’s best for us.

The reality is, that they will take money from people who worked at honest jobs and give it to lazy slobs who vote democrat. All in the name of “fairness.”

Bull$shi+!

[lacrew]

Like trusting a shop teacher with missing fingers.

“The bureau’s core concern is that many Americans, notably those from the retiring Baby Boom generation, may fall prey to financial scams”

All Too Predictable:

There will be headline-grabbing stories of people falling prey to financial scams. Horrifying scandals. The financial equivalent of Newtown.

Front-page stories, lead stories on nightly news.

Highlighting the need for government intervention.

I will come back and quote this prediction in a year or so — if it even takes that long.

All government overreach and intrusion finds some such benevolent justification. Liberals then collude to create the crisis.

[TADSLOS]

...because all of those other government managed ponzi “investments” are doing so well....

[Georgia Girl 2]

What they are really exploring is do they have the authority to take your 401K away from you.

[Former MSM Viewer]

bureau director Richard Cordray

Isnt this the guy who Obama ‘unconstitutionally’ appointed?

[BitWielder1]

The Government only wants another cookie jar to put their grubby hands into.
Not to mention more control over the people.
All under the guise of "For your own good", as always. As if we're all children.
You think the Government can be trusted? I don't. They will use the funds for other things and when it comes time to pay out, the tax payers will be on the hook. Again.

[Paine in the Neck]

“I’m from the government and I’m here to help”

[Disambiguator]

The bureau’s core concern is that many Americans, notably those from the retiring Baby Boom generation, may fall prey to financial scams,

So now the government is going to pull the biggest scam of all.

[Skepolitic]

Of all the scoundrels ripping off the holders of IRAs and 401(k)s, none compares with Ben Bernanke. He manipulates the money, credit, and fixed income markets to make sure that small, risk-averse savers get virtually no nominal return, and negative real return on investment.

It’s worth noting that the “consumer financial protection” bureau that “wants to help” is part of Bernanke’s Federal Reserve.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

“I’m from the government and I’m here to help. Now....please bring up your latest statement for your 401k. I believe you are with Fidelity, correct?”

[E. Pluribus Unum]

To paraphrase US AG Butch Reno, "We had to steal the money in order to save it."

[taxcontrol]

And this is the avenue that they will use to force individuals into purchasing a certain percentage of their portfolio as US Bonds. They want access to the Trillions in retirement accounts.
