Sailing,
I can't believe this, but I agree with you. I still make ROTH contributions but I tend to invest pretax because of the reason you stated above as well as the fact that I live in the CCP state (Communist California Party). If the government keeps its current course they will figure out a way to get their hands on some of that post tax money.
