Industry News
Stimulus bill passed
Tuesday, February 17th, President Barack
Obama signed a $787 billion stimulus bill in
Denver, Colorado. The overall package is
estimated to be 35 percent tax cuts and 65
percent spending. The stimulus bill is part
of a three-pronged effort by the Obama
administration to seize the economic
downturn. The package focuses on working
class tax cuts, assistance for the unemployed
and poor, infrastructure spending and
alternative energy research.

There is no question that
Americans are concerned about protecting
their assets. A fixed annuity is a great
solution in this economy. Call your

help! |

A great sales opportunity is
to have your clients transfer money that they
would have taken as RMD's into a fixed
annuity. |
