O’Malley calls Clinton’s email issues a distraction
The Democratic presidential hopeful Martin O’Malley is to unveil a detailed plan to expand social security on Friday.
Struggling to gain traction in the Democratic primary polls, O’Malley has made immigration a focal point of his campaign.
O’Malley’s visit to Nevada is his first since announcing his run for the Democratic nomination in a race led by Hillary Rodham Clinton followed by Vermont Sen. In addition, the plan supports requiring businesses with more than 10 employees to make it possible for those employees to make automatic contributions to their own retirement funds.
The NRA also objects to O’Malley’s response to the massacre of nine parishioners in a historically African-American Charleston, South Carolina, church in June, sneering that the former Maryland governor acted “decidedly un-presidential” when he wrote an email to supporters declaring he was “pissed” about inaction on gun violence while calling for bans on assault weapons and stronger background checks on gun sales. General, O’Malley aides say that Social Safety advantages might improve by a mean of about $60 per thirty days together with his plan. Bernie Sanders made similar appearances before the labor union federation as each candidate vies for endorsements. Both O’Malley and Sanders have staked out positions to the left of Clinton.
“And then he apologized like a little baby, like a disgusting, little, weak, pathetic baby”.
At the time, Clinton said that she was “certainly against” Obama’s plan, because she didn’t “want to raise taxes on anybody”.
If there’s any faint praise for Cox and her editors, it’s that they published that part of the exchange in the all-too-brief interview with Sanders.
This time around, Clinton faces growing pressure on Social Security from her party’s liberal wing, which has rallied behind Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who also is pushing to expand the program.
Many progressives now believe the best way to protect Social Security from Republican calls to privatize or shrink the program is to go on offense. Democracy For America said the issue “should be a no-brainer for any 2016 Democratic candidate”.
There is no reason that expanding Social Security shouldn’t be as serious a campaign issue as whether or not candidates can say “anchor babies” or not. “It’s not just the students, it’s the parents and grandparents who often guarantee the student loans, refinance their student debt at lower rates”, Clinton said. I think we need to put more money into medical research. Nobody should work full time and still live in poverty. “As an alternative, we should always increase Social Safety to allow them to retire with the dignity they’ve earned over the course of their working lives”.
But Clinton has only spoken of the entitlement program in broad generalities.
O’Malley spoke beneath the gleaming Trump worldwide Tower Wednesday – perhaps in a bit of a nod to one of his main challengers on the opposite side of the aisle: Donald Trump. But since we’re standing out there in the hot sun anyway, we might as well get something worthwhile out of it.
