Those two policies would help Americans who are chronically low on savings.</p><p>More than 40 percent of Americans say they would not be able to cover an emergency expense of $400 without borrowing money or selling something, according to a report by the Federal Reserve. Automatically stashing away some cash from every paycheck into an emergency savings fund could help those individuals.</p><p>“These commonsense proposals will greatly help people save for their future and retire with dignity,” former Sen. Kent Conrad (D-N.D.), who co-led a Bipartisan Policy Center commission on retirement security and personal savings that helped shape the Senate legislation.</p></div></div></div> <div class="article-tags"> <span>Tags</span> <a href="/web/20180717212359/http://thehill.com/person/heidi-heitkamp" title="Heidi Heitkamp">Heidi Heitkamp</a> <a href="/web/20180717212359/http://thehill.com/person/cory-booker" title="Cory Booker">Cory Booker</a> <a href="/web/20180717212359/http://thehill.com/person/todd-young" title="Todd Young">Todd Young</a> <a href="/web/20180717212359/http://thehill.com/person/tom-cotton" title="Tom Cotton">Tom Cotton</a> </div> <div id="bottom-story-socials" class="blogs-social-wrp"> <div class="addthis_inline_share_toolbox_ru82"></div> <div class="share-additional"> <div class="share-linkedin"> <script> ;(function(){ var linkedinScriptEl = document.querySelector('script[src="//web.archive.org/web/20180717212359/http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js"]'); if (linkedinScriptEl == null) { var shareLinkedinEl = document.querySelector('.share-linkedin'); var scriptEl = document.createElement('script'); scriptEl.src = "//web.archive.org/web/20180717212359/http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js"; scriptEl.async = true; scriptEl.innerHTML = " lang: en_US"; shareLinkedinEl.appendChild(scriptEl); } })(); </script> <script type="IN/Share"></script> </div> <div class="share-stumbleupon"> <su:badge layout="6"></su:badge> <script type="text/javascript"> (function() { var li = document.createElement('script'); li.type = 'text/javascript'; li.async = true; li.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?
