This might not be what they're ultimately able to do, but you can damn well bet they're going to raise the tax rates on people withdrawing from their traditional 401k/IRAs.

That's why I've started diverting some towards a Roth, but hell, I guess the promise of "pay your taxes now and we won't tax your withdrawals" is probably out the door.
