President Biden, in his first presidential address to Congress, laid out his ambitious plans to “build back” America via his $1.8 trillion American Jobs Plan. The proposal includes tax hikes for both corporate America and those earning in excess of $400,000 a year and is aimed at shoring up the country’s middle class via job creation and greater economic relief.
Although much of the plan had already been released to the public, Biden’s speech highlighted how different his approach is from his predecessor. In addition to Biden’s words, one of the most striking parts of the evening was the sight of both Vice President Kamala Harris and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi seated just behind the president on the dais, the first time two women have con

A recent research paper by the Retirement Research Center at the Defined Contribution Institutional Investment Association sheds some light on this apparent paradox. Among its key findings is that while less than one in five households went into retirement with enough wealth to completely cover their expected levels of consumption in retirement, almost 50% will have enough to finance their actual retirement spending after 10 years of retirement.
Travel Insurance Specialists Know Details
Travel insurance agents know the fine details of trips, including what could unexpectedly occur, says Daniel Durazo, a spokesperson with Allianz Global Assistance.
“Armed with this knowledge, they can offer the products that provide the most appropriate level of travel protection,” he says.
Durazo says travel insurance companies like Allianz provide product training to travel insurance advisors so they have a good understanding of the product options.
Travel insurance agents are also well-versed about plans that provide robust benefits, top customer service and strong value.

Buying travel insurance from a travel supplier is convenient, but you won’t get a customized, comprehensive trav
