I'll believe it when I see it, but that's hardly gloomy for a lot of people. Savers would make considerably more than a measly additional $30. <br /><br />Jimmy Joe Meekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09559104650594440766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758330678390419129.post-10687348720115564232018-02-02T22:54:54.307-05:002018-02-02T22:54:54.307-05:00I remember back in Obama's first term there we...I remember back in Obama's first term there were rumblings about the Feds wanting to seize (or at minimum tax them up to high heaven) 401ks/IRAs and other retirement accounts.

So saying "enjoy your $30" is disingenuous. FWIW, I'm self employed and debt free.
