This is how you eventually end a massive entitlement that is a drag on the US budget and this type of program has the potential to free middle and lower class folks in retirement from dependency on government when that retirement comes.


I honestly do not know what I think about this one. Is the government kicking in?

I think the US gov't will match the first $1000. It does encourage savings which is a positive. To be honest, it also gets a good percentage of Trump voters in the market since my guess is they may work for smaller companies which don't offer 401ks, matching, etc. While it won't do anything to bridge the wealth gap at all, it will at least allow folks to be in the game.

The policy is solid to encourage people to save. However, if you think lower and middle income people can save enough to not need social security you are delusional.

It sounds like they would put some money in the pot, but expect long-term growth for each person. You can pay now or pay a massive entitlement later. Of course one has to see the details and the system would need to be shyster-proof.

I have a hard time believing Democrats are concerned.


Just sit back and enjoy the show. They showed their true love for NOT Americans yesterday. The ads are being written.

No doubt the frog show kept Jeff and Icky firmly in their camp
