I've seen all of these floated in one form or another recently, but don't think any are likely to pass. Thanks for the link.

I would think the government would be more interested in the immediate tax revenue from conversions rather than the potentially higher tax revenue from larger RMDs down the road for the tIRA accounts. The only other benefit to the government would be for funds removed from a Roth due to the proposed RMD into a taxable account where they would generate tax revenue.
I doubt it will fly anyway.
