Are American's $19.4 trillion in Retirement Savings next on the list of Washington's things to screw up?

The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is weighing whether it should take on a role in helping Americans manage the $19.4 trillion they have put into retirement savings, a move that would be the agency’s first foray into consumer investments. 
“That’s one of the things we’ve been exploring and are interested in in terms of whether and what authority we have,” bureau director Richard Cordray said in an interview. He didn’t provide additional details. 
The bureau’s core concern is that many Americans, notably those from the retiring Baby Boom generation, may fall prey to financial scams, according to three people briefed on the CFPB’s deliberations who asked not to be named because the matter is still under discussion.

The Revolutionary War was started when the British came for our guns. The next one will be when Obama comes for our retirement plans AND our guns.

The Sheeples won't even put up with this.

I hope they won't put up with this, but my faith in the intelligence of the majority of thee American people is gone....

I think they are going to try to get retirement savings because what real people have set aside is real money, unlike gov't and union promised money. What a windfall of real money for the gov't, if they can get it. I'm sure they're aware of that.
