Episode 160: Bernie Out: The Industry’s Top Antagonist Ends His Presidential Ambitions

Congress is attempting to shore up the Paycheck Protection Program by infusing an additional $250 Billion into the program. But no good deed goes unpunished in Washington and partisan politics have bogged down the effort. We’ll discuss the legislative prospects for more assistance and what changes may happen with the program. And while we are focused on the now, we can’t lose sight of what's coming down the road. The future of employee benefits almost assuredly involves some type of portability and we’ll discuss whether the business community will lead that conversation or get run over by it. And it's the end of an era. The final Presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders has come to an end. We’ll talk about his impact on the current debates around our industry, his potential future impact, and who will be the new standard bearer for his agenda. We’ll have those stories and wrap it up with the legislative scorecard.
