yes. spend your retirement, so youre dependent on us later..

this is so shameful. open the public sector back up.. notice government workers are still getting paid.

Not if you haven't paid taxes on it and you got that break with the promise you would use it for retirement instead of being a burden to society in your later years. This is a one-time exemption from the penalty, not the taxes, but it's about the worst idea to tap into it now.
