There are a number of articles talking about what is going on in Congress; to take a portion of your 401K and invest it in an annuitie. One method is to put it into treasury bonds to help reduce the deficit. The idea is being vetted through a public process. Don't think they will have much success. I certainly wouldn't want the Goverment taking my 401K and turning a portion of it into an annuitie. No thanks, it has done well, even through all the downturns. The worst downturn I expereinced was the Divorce, which happen to coincide with the Dot Com fallout. Took a double whammy on that one.
