House approves 50 billion pension bill amid clash
The House Ways and Means panel backed a bill to boost tax deferred retirement saving, raising the required withdrawal age from 70 1/2 to 75 and allowing up to 5000 in IRAs and 15000 in 401(k)s yearly, as police were briefly summoned during a Democratic boycott. Democratic lawmakers allege autocratic tactics while Republicans defend minority rights disputes. The bill awaits full House action next week.
