Roger that, doc. Thanks.

Yeah–it makes sense that at some point there’ll be a money grab to pay for all the crap being doled out even now.

Yes, I understand your point. However, I expect income taxes to be dramatically higher in the coming years than they are now because of the massive unfunded liabilities in the Social Security and Medicare systems. Because of this, it may be prudent to convert to a Roth while you still can, because I strongly suspect the government will stop allowing Roth conversions sometime in the future. And, I think it makes sense to pay the taxes now at a lower rate, than to wind up paying 70% income taxes on your IRA 10 years down the road.

Eye Doc,

I agree about rolling over to an IRA–but a Roth? Why?

Based on current information, isn’t the whole point to have tax deferral and that this is generally seen as a more efficient way to save (long term), when presumably under the current tax arrangements for (presumably, seniors, for most retirees), you’ll have a better advantage later in life?

You spend any money, you might still get nailed for taxes later in life, but at least you’ll have more “front end loading” of money up front if its not taxed at the time you save.
