| #15 I think Dems want no IRA inheritance other than survivor. After the spouse dies, whatever remains must be drained 2-5 years. |

| #14 This comes up every time there's an election and the Democrats start the Republicans are gonna take away your SS BS... |

| #8 IRA's and 401k's; Call it the 'affordable retirement investment act' where they manage your investments and retirements on your behalf. To insure everyone has a fair share of the investments you worked your ass off and sacrificed for. Why should welfare joe suffer just because he blew his chance on hookers and booze? |

| #7 Now they will have to come after the IRA's for their next cash influx... Specifically, Roth IRA's. One of my buddies has been screaming about that for over a decade, and how they'll do it is this - they'll (try to) tax the accumulated earnings which are currently non-taxable under the Roth plan. I also wouldn't put it past them to tax some of the contributions into Roth plans as well, which would be the point to break out the pitchforks. |

| #4 2026 is only eight years from now. I plan on living that much longer and then some. Can we please stop giving money away to foreign dictators and foreigners who invade our country? Then can we stop subsidizing housing for losers? Now? |

| #3 Not BREAKING News: Unlikely I will need it in 2026 and certainly won't care by 2034. |

| #2 Breaking News: Middle Class was fleeced using the Social Security 'Ponzi Scam'. Now they will have to come after the IRA's for their next cash influx -- like a junkie burglarizing houses to pay for their next fix. |

| #1 Started back in the 60s when the pols rewrote the books on bookkeeping and suddenly discovered heaps of 'new' money to spend then and now for virtue signaling. See - Venezuela in slow motion |
