    There you have it world, the vast majority of #retirees in the #UnitedStatesofAmerica cannot afford to live on our retirement program. Yet #Trump continues policies like #tantrum based #tarrifs that raise the price of food for the those #Jesus would include in "the least of these".

  6. #Advisors Warn Early #SocialSecurity Claims May Cost #Retirees Thousands

  7. Someone please put this #lunatic in a straight jacket. This #felon has caused #undue and #unnecessary #turmoil and #damage to markets and #anxiety to many people like #retirees who depend upon #stable and #steady #financial environment to protect their life's #investment.

  8. This time, the resulting clash centers on a basic question: Should federal #law require more #financial professionals to put #retirees’ needs above all else — including their own paychecks — when they offer advice about how to #invest?
    
In April, the #Labor Dept finalized rules that would subject a wide array of #brokers to a higher #legal standard, requiring them to act as #fiduciaries.

  9. #Lobbying groups representing #NewYorkLife, #LincolnFinancial Group, #Prudential #Financial & other companies first pushed back against the newly proposed #regulations before suing to topple them entirely. Now the govt’s latest attempt to protect #retirees is in political & #legal limbo…

    It is the latest example of a pervasive pattern: As the #Biden admin tries to impose new restrictions on #powerful industries, those #businesses successfully turn to #Congress & the #courts for a reprieve.

  10. #InsuranceLobbyists block #federal crackdown on costly [good] #retirement advice
    
The #FinancialServicesIndustry has blocked the #Biden admin from requiring #brokers to put #retirees’ needs first — above lucrative #commissions.

To protect older Americans’ #LifeSavings, #POTUS #JoeBiden pledged in Oct to crack down on #financial advisers who recommend #investments just because they pay higher commissions. Then the insurance industry got to work.

    “'We don’t know how our actions will affect things, but it’s important to be out there and forming community around this issue,' [retiree Bill Rixon] said. 'Being out there on the sidewalk, I’ve found, is really good for my soul.'

    "Part of the idea behind the group, he said, is that #retirees are in a better position to put themselves at risk of #arrest.

    "'We don’t have to worry about our employment record being sullied by being arrested,' Rixon said, though the group has no intention or expectation of being arrested.

    "'The goal is to hopefully urge #corporations to do the right thing,' he said."
