Harkin promotes hybrid benefits-retirement plan
Harkin promoted a hybrid of defined benefits and 401-type retirement plan during his visit, pointing out that half of Americans have less than $10,000 in savings, just 1-in-5 receive pension income, and that 6 million Americans over the age of 65 live in poverty.
Rep. Jan Schakowsky and Senator Tom Harkin introduced companion resolutions in the House and Senate to express support for expanded home health care services.
