Congresswoman McMorris Rodgers Reacts to Ideas Related to Nationalizing 401K Plans

[ANGLEBOOT]

Hold on now, nationalizing is what communist do. I though you was a Republican not Democrat.

[bladerunner1268]

For the love of god would the government stay out of things? EVERYTHING THE GOVERNEMENT TOUCHES IT RUINS. Were not children we can take care of ourselves. Now they want to break the rules of law and violate the AIG bonus contracts that Chris Dodd allowed them to have. This is not Nazi Germany. Its Unconstitutional to nationalize things. Just lay down till the feeling goes away.

[randommagnum]

By the time Obama's subjects realize that he's our version of Hugo Chavez, it'll be way too late...and then they'll just blame Bush for everything again. They are ignorant, spoiled children who never grew up.

[akai1sora]

Why would anyone want the government to handle their retirement?  How about giving us all some of that wonderful VA healthcare while your at it.

[patriotsact]

What constitutional authority do you have to "nationalize" anything? This isn't North Korea. Have you ever read that quaint little document you swore to uphold?

[esgatch]

patriotsact,

it would be interesting to send her an email and see how she avoids your question...

her staff gets all the emails we send her and they proabably filter them to find those that make her look legitimate...

these kind of representatives are socialists, pure and simple...

Wake up, America!..

[GOTZEUSIPRODUCTIONS]

great times ahead....I'm so glad to be witnessing history in the making. Look below at the comments. Its easy enough to say a revolution is taking place before my very eyes. It is time to take back for what was ours in the first place. Obama will be the last puppet. It is time to take down the corporate industry. It is time to place a BETTER "system" up. From politics, religion, money. To science, nature, an technology.

[esgatch]

Another Congress-person to insult our intelligence...

They ignore the people and vote for bailouts, then they schmooze us with more double-talk...

When will they have another CLOSED-DOOR SESSION of Congress like they did last March?...

Hmm, Ms. Rodgers?...

You're crashing our dollar as fast as you can, so when exactly are you going to bring the troops home and declare martial law, Ms. Rodgers?...

Is it a 'beautiful day' in YOUR neighborhood Ms. Rodgers?...

Wake up, America!

[ZoKayComputer]

Government programs.

Successful programs.

Choose one.

[Coadunate]

Im not sure if she can practice what she preaches. As a government employee I dont think she can invest in a 401K plan but if Im wrong I sincerely hope she is true to her word and invests all her money in one. She deserves it.

[esgatch]

This lady isn't going to change anything. Congress no longer votes for the will of the people. The economy is rapidly failing, and they are just trying to get all they can before it completely crashes.

Wake up, America!!

[RenShiWu]

Bravo, Madame Congresswoman. Could you please grab the mike out of Obama's hand and say, "Excuse me, Mr. President, but the people need a reality check. I'll handle it from here and why don't you go sit down and relax for awhile?"

[Subfightr]

I really like this idea, putting your ideas out on youtube. Regarding my thoughts on what you just said I don't know enough about it to give an honest comment, to be honest all that was going thew my head was "hmm, she's quite pretty".

(I realize I just wasted anyones time who read this, this is the downfall of putting serious ideas on youtube, you get useless comments like this)

[windowlicker752]

Instead of nationalizing 401k's. How about instituting a law on Pelosi's whining about how there just isn't enough military airplanes to take her filthy rich arrogant self back to San Francisco on time? For everytime she complains would be the next time she won't be allowed to pass outrageous socialist spending enactments. Same goes with Reid, and his trains to Disneyland paid for by wasteful pork spending.

[Boomer1949]

Well I see my last comment was removed. Wonder why? Because it was the truth or something? Because I know what the legislations says and doesn't say? What a crock! People all this is doing is trying to get you all excited over nothing.

[TheFlex21]

don't nationalize anything

[scottthrees]

Great thats all we need. Another Government program so you guys can get your greedy little, slim ball hands on MORE of my money. I have a better idea, lets start abolishing government programs. BIGGER GOVERNMENT, can i get that supersized!

[battim]

keep your grubby hands off my money

[Shutthatkidup]

Don't waste time on thinking about 401K's, get to work on health care. My company just got hit with a 50K increase over last year. At this rate even people with jobs won't have health care.

[nvsyru]

The 401K plans were a ponzi scheme from there origination. Those who designed these plans, would have invested themselves into the very same stocks that would be offered to employees (SPECULATORS). They knew how to design these plans to keep people blindly buying shares, payday after payday, knowing one day they would sell their shares and legally STEAL the peoples "HARD EARNED MONEY!"

Nationalize 401K's? HELL NO! Outlaw them is what should be being discussed. People have been Screwed!

[thoughtchallenge]

People who lost money in 401k accounts are stuck with their losses, if they withdraw the money they will have to pay a severe penalty.

[MYSILVER4U]

Do you see something here?

A President like the savior,

warnings, warnings signs, Millions of jobs disappear, Exuberant nationalism

Banks to nationalize! Constitution under attack! Secret government! Or

Secrecy Demanded Troops deployed on streets, Militarized Police

Stolen elections, Corporations Shielded, Enemies Identified,

Corruption Unchecked, Media Controlled, Intellectual Bullying,

IT'S Called prewar Germany

HITLER, don't forget the Obama youth movement

.

[halodayz]

i could not have said it any better.

thanks for summarizing the future NOW!

all the sheep are running out of time.

and from you name im sure you have alreayd stocked your ammo.

good luck!

[juicejrc]

Stay out of my piggy bank or you are just going to piss off many people!!

[putittogether]

Fascism Now Fasdism FOREVER

OBAMA FOREVER!!!

[rv186rs]

explain this 401k thingy.

[stg2lewis]

Keep up the fight on this and the other important issues facing our country today. The wasteful spending is going to drive this country into a depression. Then President Obama will finally have the crisis that he has been scaring the American people. We need STRONG conservative Republicans in D.C. right now. Sticking to your guns will be beneficial to your future success; following liberalism will be sure to your detriment.

[YazDawg]

Please resign.

[halodayz02]

"economic down turn" i would hate to see what you call a depression.

this is just one more criminal that needs to go on the government criminal list!

after the economy completely collapses, there is going to be a lot of pissed off people.

they trully have some nerve continuously promoting their lies and propaganda.

AND THEY ARE OBLIGATED TO READ ALL THE COMMENTS SO THEY KNOW THE PEOPLE ARE ON TO THEM.

GOOD LUCK PATRIOTS AND GOD BLESS!! PEACE.

[M3minusGrowth]

Social Security is 100% a Ponzi Scheme, and now the US government is going to run out of Social Security money. Guess what they just found a new source of wealth to plug the holes in Social Security with your 401K money. Now the US Government can perpetuate their Ponzi Scheme for another 10 to 15 years.

[FOBmuzungu]

The 401k is designed to trigger a stream of 'benefits' to the Illuminati agenda.

[therealcaptobvious]

PIGGYBANK HEIST!!!

nationalied 401 K plans sound scarier than nationalizing banks.

If anyone wants to really know what nationalizing banks is going to look like,

watch?v=BduyD3N2ZHM.

Agreed, the government is the problem.

[alwaysright5]

The military is sworn to protect the Constitution NOT THE GOVERNMENT. At what point does the military needs to intervene and get rid of these thieves?

[KendisKustomsDotCom]

If politicians in the Gov can not abide by the Constitution then they need to either step down or get kicked out. It is not the Gov's role to get involved in social programs - not to mention it can't really afford white house toilet paper right now!

The Federal Reserve needs to really be placed under Congressional control and all the global bank goons booted out. The IRS should be abolished along with the unconstitutional addendum of a personal income tax!

Government is the problem.
