Obama To Unveil Treasury IRAs, Or Planning For A Post-Monetization World

Wondering who will take over the mantle of Treasury bond buyer now that the Fed is stepping away? Curious of the government's next steps towards repression and control of wealth? Wait no longer. As the AP reports,President Obama will unveil a new retirement savings plan tonight that allows first-time savers to buy US Treasury bonds tax-deferred for retirement. Of course, this is not the mandatory IRA that remains somewhat inevitable (as the muddle-through fails) but is certainly a step in the direction we alerted readers to a year ago by which the government generously offers to help manage your retirement savings. Two words spring to mind... remember Poland.

What comes to mine to me is Social Security. They have robbed the SS system for years and it's going broke so why would any thing that government offers be good? I don't trust them and I'll just keep my money under the mattress thank you.

Can I short the US government for my retirement savings? I think that would be a lot more lucarative.
