Follow-up on "401(k) Savings" Post from Friday
Found out some more about this.

Treasury and Labor have asked for comments on a voluntary (for the moment) requirement that employers allow leaving employees to buy lifetime annunities from the government with their 401(k)s (if I understand what they mean) instead of rolling over the money to a self-directed IRA, etc. A plan for the terminally stupid who aspire to poverty/slavery in their old age Leftists, one supposes.

Hit the link for a Fox Business report on the comment request.

The request for comments is here (here's a Labor Dept. press release).

Deadline for comments is, I believe, May 3 (or thereabouts).

Camel's nose, etc.
