Obama Retirement Savings Plan, 401k and Savings Bonds

President Obama proposed several changes to encourage retirement savings, including automatic 401k enrollment for small business employees and the option to receive tax refunds as savings bonds. The plan also includes a tax credit to match half of a family's savings up to $1,000.
