I tried to make it more interesting than dry toast. Let me know since this is heating up as you can see from the bulletin just received below. p.s. Obviously, I didn't get in enough protesting during my hippie years! "In related news, the House Ways and Means Committee voted 35 to 6 to expand tax breaks for retirement savings plans. The bill, which will go to the full House next week, would increase the contribution level for IRAs from $2,000 to $5,000, increase the annual dollar limits for 401(k) plans, and allow employees over age 50 to "catch up" on pension contributions they may have skipped when they were younger.
