I almost had a pension at my current job, but they switched to defined contribution in the early 2000s. I do get generous matches with what amounts to a 8-9% match. I only wished they would have added the Roth account earlier.

businessinsider.comTrump unveiled a plan to match retirement savings up to $1,000. Here's what Americans need to know.President Donald Trump announced a federal savings match plan for private-sector workers during his 2026 State of the Union speech.

We tried this in 2022 and nothing happened. This isn't even the right solution. It's not that there isn't options available, it's more a function of low income families can't afford to save. They need to fix Social security more than anything. www.businessinsider.com/trump-hopes-...

2). Also, if private philanthropy is going to fund some or all of the matches, they can scrap the cap on social security taxes and people making over $184.5k can pay their fair share. I don't see how this is going to work.

abcnews.go.comRepublicans unveil health care plan to counter Democratic effort to extend ACA subsidiesWith the deadline to address expiring ACA tax credits fast approaching, GOP's John Thune announced that two competing health care plans will get a vote later this week.

The republican plan is to do away with enhanced tax credits and give credits to people who buy bronze-level or "catastrophic " plans on ACA exchanges. This would equal $1000 to $1500 put in health savings plans to help pay for out of pocket costs. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Cont..a single person making less than 700% of federal poverty level, or about $109550. This idea would not pass. Most out of pocket plans are well over $1500 for out of pocket costs.

I have a feeling this would only benefit those without pre-existing conditions that are otherwise healthy. So the sick would foot the brunt of premiums.

yhoo.itFederal Reserve: Expect a 'hawkish cut' today as officials look to slow down on interest rate cuts next yearInvestors are betting the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates for the third time this year on Wednesday, though there could be division within the central bank over the decision.

This is idiotic. There should not be any cuts right now.

So, he wants to bring back pensions. It didn't work the first time around because businesses didn't want to be responsible for funding workers retirement.

It would be a good idea but businesses would rather offer defined contribution programs. If you are fortunate, you might get a match on your contributions.

He would be better off if he solved the Social Security issue rather than bring a version of pensions back. His other ideas for 401(k)s are bad as well.

If at least 26 billionaires can waste at least $27 million trying to defeat Zohran Mamdani, then those same billionaires can afford to pay an extra 2% on their income over $1 million to make New York a better, thriving city for everyone — including themselves.
