Uh, oh! Not congress.

It would be nice if they do start the Roth, add a gold/precious metalss fund, and let's hope they do reconsider IFT limits.

Hey, maybe we will get a bail-out too!

Hey, maybe we will get a bail-out too!

A bail out on money that's never been taxed,
Kind of crazy! :nuts: but from what's been churning lately, just par. :worried:

Thanks Tom,
When I posted this, I had the idea that our MB folks would jump at this as an opportunity (better than previous one!) - to begin sending those prior letters to their Congresss-persons, send analysis, papers, etc., on opposition to IFT limits/month, costs, etc.

I suppose we've been beaten down so much into complacency, that we're acceptant of the status quo as our permanent fate.
Again, Much Thanks!
