White House Pushes For Tougher Rules On Retirement Funds

Today, the Obama administration is expected to show its support of a Department of Labor proposal about Americans’ retirement savings.

Jill Schlesinger of CBS News joins Here & Now’s Robin Young to discuss the proposal and its implications.
