now, you can -- you can support expansions that are very unequal. we have had them in this country. you can have expansions that are more broad-based. i think the american mindset of how the economy works has for many, many years been that the median family, for the family right in the middle, does as well as the economy does. to go through expansions like we did in the 2000s where we are in a boom, what's supposed to be a boom, but the average family's income is falling by $2,000, i kind of think that's just not the american economy that anybody is comfortable with. >> yeah. >> the picture looking forward would be one in which a very small number of people just become super, super rich and accumulate the assets and that it kind of morphs us into the bizarreo world of trickle down economics in which we say, the only hope we have to grow is that those 10 people who have all of the assets, let's hope year. . >> or decide to expand. otherwise, we've got nothing. i think that's a dangerous way. >> they are not always force to spend it. the richer you are, the left prerequisite there is

unequal pay during their working years allows -- means women have less opportunity to save. they may take some time off during their working years to start a family. they have less time to save. additionally, women tend to be concentrated in jobs that don't traditionally offer retirement plans. it's been said many times that women save more than men, save more money than men. well, yeah, they have higher rates. they're starting from a very low point. so women still lag behind men when it comes to total retirement savings. so that sort of sets the stage for our committee and for me to introduce the u.s.a. retirement funds act, s. 1979 -- if anybody wants to write down the number of the bill -- it's a new retirement program. and i'm going to explain basically how it operates here.. retirement. it means it's universal, it's secure and adaptable. that's what u.s.a. stands for. it would tackle the retirement crisis head on by ensuring that 75 million people -- remember my earlier chart -- 75 million people without a core place retirement plan would have the opportunity to earn a

it's considered the least unequal country in latin america.here have been bountiful gains for the entire population through economic growth but especially for the vast majority of the country that is poor, that was so excluded from previous governments that people are not just going to throw that away, it seems, because of some shortages and the inflation problems which obviously are real. they have elected him again. they have elected the government party again in the local elections, and now we're seeing a replay of the strategies that the opposition has used many times. unfortunately in the past when they resorted to to rebellion and provoking a crisis in the country, to provoke a violent response and get rid of the government. they did that in 2002. they tried to do it with the coup, the oil strike in '0 '03, and now we're seeing this portrayed as this huge event of violence. it's terrible what is going on there right now, but it's important to say that we let me lament the loss of life of any person. but those who were killed many were in
