O'Malley's plan to expand Social Security draws fire from a Wall Street front. [View all]
The truth is that more than half of all married couples in retirement and about three-quarters of singles get 50% of their income or more from Social Security. For a fifth of married seniors and half of the unmarried, the program accounts for 90% of income.
O'Malley understands that; Third Way doesn't.
