Another Shrillary Vote-Buying Scheme
Having abandoned her scheme to hand every baby $5,000 of other people's money, Hillary Clinton has settled on a new vote-purchasing plan: a 401(k) retirement account with up to $1,000 per year in federal matching funds for each citizen.
Estimated cost is $20–25 billion per year, making it the biggest leap toward socialism proposed by Shrillary after universal health insurance.
How will the government come up with such massive quantities of cash? By stealing it from the rich, naturally. This has the added benefit of imposing economic equality between those who produce wealth and those who don't. In Shrillary's Marxist words:
This is a major commitment to how I believe we can begin to right the balance again.
As for Social Security, the government will keep vacuuming up money for that too. As Shrillary proclaims:
We have to fight and finally bury the idea of privatizing Social Security.
Onwards toward socialism, comrades!
On a tip from Conan.

Once we are dirt poor from paying taxes on her programs---we will HAVE to rely on the government for everything from the cradle to the grave!

What in the bloody *hell* is the difference between the government giving each worker $1,000/year and allowing workers to put say, um, $1,000 of their annual payroll taxes in a 401k? There is absolutely no difference. The tacit implication is that Hillary concedes that Social Security is broken, and needs all of the paid in by current workers *just* to cover the federal obligation to non-workers (retirees and SSI sponges alike).
Gads, I hates me a liberal power monger.

I wonder just how deep in the NY Times this story will be buried and if someone will have the guts to ask her about it while she's either on the campaign trail or at the next debate.
I do so hope the Republicans are taking notes on what she has been saying.

I'm holding out for a free High Def Television. Oh, and a Tivo...my vote doesn't come cheap.

Don't forget that the burocracy it creates will itself cost an aditional 10 billion a year.

Reckon HIldebeast's first exec order will be to convince Russia to finally bury Lenin, seeing she won't stand for the competition. Either that or she just might insist they set him upright in his glass casket, plug in a wick and light him. With so many wax jobs over the years, he's bound to go off like a molotov cocktail.

Wow Hillary, way to strengthen the exchange rate of the dollar sweetie.
With plans like that who needs Monopoly money?

She's going at it hammer and sickle!

If she becomes President when she dies, Bill will probably have her mummified and placed in a glass display case like Lenin was - Americas first Communist President. What a nightmare that would be!
