I hope we see a couple of these countries follow through & collapse their entire economy so the lefties don't try to steal our 401k's here. EDIT: Apparently they have $250k protection that the government is going to override in order to steal.. |

The only thing that makes sense then is that they must WANT to cause the banks to fail by even mentioning that idea.
People will cash out as fast as possible. |

Quoted:
There not gonna be happy till theres blood on the streets. Precisely this. Ideas that I put firmly in the "Tin foil" column even a year ago are now yesterday's (already forgotten) headlines. I'm really starting to believe they're driving us to violence so that they can quell it and "start over the right way". They've been brilliant and ingenious in their staging of it but they're screwing up the execution because of a combination of hubris (the stupid ones think it'll all always go according to plan) and fear (the smart ones realize that this would be a runaway reaction and might not end up the way they think), hence the overreach-and-pullback routine. Hope you guys paid attention to the WW2 generation - food, water, a roof over your head and a loaded pistol in your pocket can provide a lot of comfort if times get hard. Get to know your neighbors if you don't already. Always good to know who can help, who will deserve help, who will steal from you and who will rat you out. And even if nothing gets any worse, it's still a prudent way to live your life. |

They believe when their schemes fail it is because they didn't do enough, the right people were not doing it, ect... I anticipate seeing the trial balloons floating here shortly after the mid term elections. Keep a weather eye on California as I believe they will be a test bed for ways to steal private sector money to fund the state. If you haven't done so now is the time to get your financial house in order and if you are so inclined set back some basic food stores, hard currency, and a little PM. Anyone have updates on Greece and how things are going there? Not much in the msm anymore. |

You make an early withdrawal you pay a 10% penalty on top of the 28% federal tax. Add in your state taxes & you lose 50% of your account anyway (in addition to any future growth). They steal your money either way & it doesn't matter. |

I have taken inventory of friends and family that are close enough to help and be of help. I have also taken note of where a may have problems if things go sideways. It will be interesting to see which side of the statis camp wins out. Will they go full bore and finish this thing or will they pull back and continue the death by a thousand cuts? If they win the mid terms I can see them getting froggy. |

I just wish 'they' (meaning most everyone/everywhere) would use the correct terminology (rather than 'tax', etc.) and just call it what it is - theft.
Perpetrated by (of course) the banks in conjunction with the (now) various central governments. Of course, it can't happen here ..............................

No kidding. I have spent decades saving for my retirement when I embraced reality and realized there would be no Social Security for me. With this kind of talk going around it is tempting to cash out, fill the safe with gold and roll around it in my boxers on Friday nights. It's not like the US Government would ever seize physical gold!

The day approaches faster that may allow an insightful man to unload a 91/30 and a bandoleer of strippered ammo for ten ounces of gold from a neighboring investment firm manager. That is if such a creature had the sense to stack any.

Open Bank Resolution (OBR) is Finance Minister Bill English’s favoured option dealing with a major bank failure. If a bank fails under OBR, all depositors will have their savings reduced overnight to fund the bank’s bail out.
Sheer genius! Give the depositors a heads up and a head start. It seems the New Zealand banks don't have the equivalent of our FDIC. (eta- according to shocktrp they're just abrogating that ) I'd need a pretty hefty return on my savings to leave it hanging out there like fruit waiting to be plucked.
I think what we are seeing here are the beginnings of the cracks in the dike.
Act accordingly. |

I ate the 10 percent penalty in 2012 to pay cash for a house. I figured that the tax rates were going to go up and so were the prices of homes. Yes it hurts to have to pay the IRS but it would only hurt more later when the marginal tax rate is 50 percent. or the dollar is devalued |
