America’s retirement system is broken. Trump may have found a bold fix

When President Donald Trump told reporters on last week that he was looking "very strongly" at Australia's retirement system, most Americans probably shrugged and thought, "Great — another retirement plan." They shouldn't. If this idea becomes legislation, it could represent the biggest shift in American retirement policy since Social Security was signed into law in 1935. Don’t be surprised if the Trump name is on the retirement account if it happens. TRUMP LOOKING 'VERY STRONGLY' AT AUSTRALIA-STYLE RETIREMENT SYSTEM: 'TAKING THAT, MAKING IT SHARPER' The important thing to understand is this main point: Trump isn't talking about copying Australia. He's talking about taking what works and making it "sharper" for America. So what exactly is he trying to accomplish? Our retirement system was built for an economy that barely exists anymore. People used to work for one employer for 30 years, receive a pension, collect Social Se...

Caitlin Clark breaks WNBA record as Fever humiliate defending champion Aces in Las Vegas

If the Las Vegas Aces thought Saturday night's 48-point demolition of the Phoenix Mercury meant another easy win was coming, Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever had other plans. Clark reached another historic milestone along the way, becoming the fastest player in WNBA history to record 600 career assists, doing it in just 72 games. The Fever marched into Vegas and embarrassed the defending champions, cruising to a stunning 109-75 win. The spotlight belonged to Caitlin Clark and A'ja Wilson – the WNBA's biggest draw versus its most dominant force. STEPHANIE WHITE GIVES CAITLIN CLARK STATUS UPDATE AHEAD OF FEVER-SPARKS, BUT HER NEXT MOVE RAISES QUESTIONS Wilson still finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds, but Indiana made sure those numbers came in a losing effort. Rather than allowing Las Vegas to settle into the bruising half-court game it thrives on, the Fever turned the afternoon into a track meet, shot 56% from the field and buried 15 three-pointers. Clark didn'...
