We spent over $4 trillion on a bail out already. It’s our money, our public treasury. The question is whether we are giving it to Wall Street or to Main Street.

This is an emergency. Obviously at the long-term answer is actual economic justice, but this is an urgent matter involving hungry people. The solution cannot be abstract, it has to be practical and it has to be now.

So what do you call the billions given away to huge corporations if not socialism for the rich? Do you only have a problem if money is used to help the average person?

We should be supplementing food banks with federal grants. We spent over $4 Trillion doing more to bail out Wall Street than to assuage the despair of the average person whose life is being devastated by the pandemic.

The reason restrictions on businesses is so devastating is because people have no other way to get money to survive. That’s why we should pay people $2k/mo. - so they can stay home!! That’s the best way to build a bridge from where we are now to a Covidless world.

Congress not yet having passed another stimulus bill is leaving tens of millions of people in severe and brutal economic despair. Many. have. no. food. This will go down in American history as cruelty on par with some of our worst mistakes. #Directcashrelief

We need a massive infusion of economic hope & opportunity into the life of the average American & we needed it even before the pandemic. We’ve spent $4T on Covid relief & only 1/5 of it has been given to individuals. That’s how America rolls now… and we have rolled into a ditch.

Michelle Obama wrote a book of deep authenticity and clear compassion for the human condition, her elevation to the halls of power not seeming to have infused her consciousness with the arrogance of the elite nor the smugness of self-delusion. Her husband wrote a book as well.
