Waiving tax penalties for early withdrawls from retirement accounts.
Why is this important?
Although very fortunately I have not been effected by the unemployment crisis in this country like so many other Americans I haven't heard that anyone has raised the question about waiving any early withdrawal penalties for people who have no other savings to fall back on other than a retirement account and have to use that money to pay their bills. It certainly only seems fair to give people in this situation a break on that. I'd like to know if this issue has been raised by anyone else, and if so I would certainly support it.
