From Aug 21, 2015

Friday, Democratic Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley released a plan, called “Expanding Social Security So Americans Can Retire With Dignity,” to boost retirement security. The plan includes boosting Social Security benefits, boosting private savings plans, raising wages and providing long-term care.
...
O’Malley’s Expanding Social Security So Americans Can Retire With Dignity plan sets “a national goal of increasing the number of Americans with adequate retirement savings by 50 percent within two terms in office.” It does this not just by increasing Social Security benefits, but also with steps that make it easier for private-sector workers to invest in their own retirement, as well as steps “to prevent older Americans from losing the savings they already have.”

5. that would be a GREAT debate question, wouldn't it? Oh, that's right we haven't had any Dem

debates yet, have we?

6. Overall, I really like his record as Maryland's governor. He improved many

state problems that are also nationwide. I'd even like to see expansion of his infamous "rain tax" on impermeable pavings. If he thought that was a best option nationally, of course.
