Are you not American? Very odd way to phrase that.
And why are you bringing up Israel in a thread about the EU seizing savings for reinvestment against the will of the account holder.
Its almost like youre trying to redirect the discussion.
Because our rat pig government still hasn't given me my income tax check. They took that money to give to isreali pigs

this isn't about taking savings for public uses.
You naive if you believe that isn't what their ultimate goal is.

It's about basically creating a better ROI than savings by securitizing them to invest in private businesses to increase returns.
If you can't see the problem with the government telling ppl where they should invest their own money then you are a lost cause.

What do you believe she means by "putting them to use"?
Putting funds into more effective investments than a low-yield savings account.

You’re just making up scenarios. Focus on the facts.

Politicians have quite the gall. They create the debt. We didn’t yet bear the burden of fixing their screw ups.

There is nothing weird about this. It should be viewed as a positive. european needs to change, a this is a big step in a positive direction for that change. Except - as has been noted, they have been coming up with proposals like this for decades and it never seems to stick.
Agreed.

Obama floated the idea of raiding 401k accounts.
It’s one way to pay off the debt.
The government would have to take nearly every dollar sitting in the retirement accounts of all Americans to pay off the US debt.
Unbelievable!!!!

Sooo essentially taking the money and doing what the owners didn't want to do with it.

I'm sorry... but transferring them from an account earning just interest to one with more risk in securities and other investments without the consent of the owner is..... what?

America may do something similar to pay the debt off.

Where are you getting anything about consent? There is nothing in what she said that indicates the government will force anybody to do anything.
If you want it boiled down to simple terms what she is saying is "We need to be more like the USA. The USA is killing us in capital investment while our citizens have little alternative but to keep savings in low interest bank accounts. And our banks themselves are hamstrung in being able to maximally invest in European capital projects and securities.

What is “more effective?”
Does that mean riskier?
What if a person doesn’t want the government to put his funds into “more effective investments,” as defined by them, does he have the right to keep his investments in a low yield savings account?
Should he have that right?

Where are you getting the without consent portion? It’s giving people a choice.
