Workers drain retirement piggy banks in hard times
The Center for American Progress reports 401(k) loans rose to 31 billion in 2004 from 6 billion in 1989. About 12 percent of 401(k) plan families borrowed between 1998 and 2004. A $5,000 loan can cut retirement savings by about 22 percent, even with repayment, amid rising financial pressures and easy access to 401(k) loans.

Jack Scott withdrew an outright ban and proposed a compromise to strengthen warnings and weights on such balloons. The proposal would raise penalties to 250 dollars per violation and call UC for a private study on alternatives to Mylar balloons.
