“Our economy is not money, our economy is people“, O’Malley said “And it’s all of our people. As our candidates offer thoughtful positions on creating jobs and growing the economy, closing the rising gap of income inequality and tackling student loan debt, the Republicans are talking about ending Medicare and Social Security, limiting a women’s right to make her own healthcare decisions and opposing raising the minimum wage”, Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Sen.

Martin O’Malley is proposing to expand Social Security, part of a bid to cast himself as a progressive but practical candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. The demands are clear rebukes to Trump.
Although their numbers in the workforce fell during the Great Recession of 2007-09, Latino immigrants still made up just slightly less than half of Hispanic workers in the U.S.in 2014, according to Pew Research Center.
As he has in previous papers, together with on immigration and Wall Road oversight, O’Malley has demonstrated a willingness to get into the weeds on the difficulty – a mirrored image of the policy-wonk picture his marketing campaign hopes to painting.
O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland who is running against Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, stood in front of the glistening Trump Tower with employees of the off-Las Vegas Strip property that claim they have been harassed and intimidated because they are trying to unionize.
At a time when some Republicans are calling for cuts to Social Security, Democratic candidates have voiced support for expansions of some sort. He has tried to turn up the heat lately: He stopped in Las Vegas to hold a news conference Wednesday outside the Trump global Hotel, where he blasted Trump’s anti-union rhetoric and labor practices. Other provisions of O’Malley’s plan would change the way cost-of-living increases are factored into Social Security payments and impose new requirements on employers with more than 10 workers to provide retirement plans.
The concentration of wealth and power among a scant few has left the nation with only two paths forward, he said.
Clinton was asked about the issue when she spoke with reporters Tuesday in Nevada. Nobody should work full time and still live in poverty.
Mark Hugo Lopez, director of Hispanic research, said that is a reflection of where Latino demographics are headed _ most growth in the number of Latino workers will come from U.S. born Latinos.
In a Friday op-ed for Iowa’s Quad-City Times, O’Malley rejected what he called the “sky is falling” approach favored by those who want to alter the program. Culinary Union spokeswoman Bethany Khan says the hotel’s management hasn’t cooperated.
About like you’d expect: Martin O’Malley isn’t even worth noticing, because he’s not polling well, and therefore why would Donald Trump even care what he says?

“Trump worldwide Las Vegas employs 650 workers and as a family we’ve invested over $1.2 billion in an iconic building in Las Vegas”, Eric Trump said.
