Oregon's retirement plan highlights America's retirement problem

The opportunity to retire should be universal. Yet half of the private sector workforce in the United States lacks access to retirement savings due to high administrative costs and limited resources. At small businesses with fewer than 100 employees, 32 million American workers are uncovered.

Working Americans deserve chance to retire

The opportunity to retire should be universal for working Americans. Employees everywhere should be able to secure their financial wellness and safeguard against poverty after they leave the workforce. The reality is that not everyone in the United States has the same ability to save for retirement — 55 million Americans don’t have access to savings through their workplace — and the Trump administration’s action last month against state auto-IRA programs makes the problem even more difficult to solve.

#TRUMP: "There is a limit to the patience of the American people"

Impeaching President Donald Trump is more popular now than impeaching President Richard Nixon was at the start of the Watergate scandal. That’s according to a Monmouth University poll released on Monday. The study found that forty-one percent of Americans support impeachment for Trump. In comparison, a July 1973 poll from Gallup revealed that twenty-six percent supported Nixon’s impeachment, as the Watergate scandal was breaking. Radio Sputnik discussed the issue with Professor Barbara Perry, Director of Presidential Studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center.

Where Trump Could Achieve A Much-Needed Legislative Victory

The president could try a different approach in the wake of his difficulties on health care. He could work together with Democrats on another policy issue that also affects millions of people, and in the process, score a much-needed legislative victory and transform American society. That policy issue is paid family leave.
