Asset Building

(Community Matters) From my friends at the New America Foundation

Senators Schumer and Dodd jointly introduced the ASPIRE Act. The bill supports one of our flagship proposals– to create a universal system of accounts-at-birth which are progressively funded and would enable children and their families to pursue higher education, responsible homeownership, and a more secure retirement. The time has come for a major public discussion about the way we plan for retirement, support savings and encourage homeownership. We look forward to that discussion and believe the ASPIRE Act can play a critical role in helping promote a more responsible, sustainable system.
