And responsible people will still do that, but it really hurts their ability to lower taxes and the new plan won't help.


Isn’t this plan coupled with a 2x increase in the standard deduction?

Eh. I’d rather be in a Roth based plan. Would be way better for me, and most people, in retirement.

I'm ok if they raise the Roth limit to match. $5500 is a long way from $18K. I max both.

I'd rather take the tax benefit now, than a theoretical tax benefit 30 years from now.

I'd be fine with this if they substantially raised the income limits for Roth contributions, in addition to the contribution limits.

It would still sting a little with the increased tax liability, but at least I'd be able to maintain retirement goals.
