1. "Bloomberg unveils plans for Americans' Social Security, retirement savings"

"KEY POINTS
Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg is coming out in favor of boosting Social Security and creating new ways for American workers to save for retirement.

The plans mark the latest addition to the former New York City mayor’s campaign platform, and puts him in line with other Democratic candidates who have called for shoring up Social Security benefits and the program’s long-term solvency.

Bloomberg’s proposals also aim to help improve retirees’ lives, from giving low-income workers access to government-provided retirement savings plans to helping to ensure seniors get better access to health care and housing."

9. The main problem I see is that whole lot of people don't make enough to save anything.

We have about three million in the USA whose only income is SNAP and another 30 percent or so below twice the poverty line which is the real povert line. I know a hell opf a lot of people who can't afford basic things like dental care.

10. Honestly? No. I'm not going to bother to read it.

This guy has been on the social security cut bandwagon for decades.

He has to make a convincing case on his sudden change of heart. Until he does that, his plan is just marketing.
