What? People who didn’t go to college have no college loan debt! But 45 million do. I have no college loan debt but that doesn’t mean I can’t have empathy for those who do, or see the drag on the economy of that trillion and a half dollar debt

I think progressives have a wide range of better policy ideas! M4A, free college, cancelling loan debt, green new deal, fair taxation, reforming police, money out of politics, ending voter suppression, economic & criminal & racial justice. No lack of policy ideas there.

But how can you pinpoint the problem unless you name it? And how much good does it ultimately do if we don’t recognize a larger pattern that gives rise to the problem?

I sort of think it’s the opposite. Sometimes it’s a lack of blunt talk, not a lack of nuance, that’s the problem. It’s great that some trees have stayed healthy but the forest is still poisoned.

Politics should speak to more than what’s possible; it should speak to what’s right. If you only speak to what’s small then nothing large will ever manifest.

The only economy it would “wreck” is an economy that’s predicated on wrecking the dreams of almost half of our citizens. It would actually boost the economy because it would provide money to do things - M4All, free college etc - that boost the potential of the American people.

Because they’re institutionalists, Andrew. Sharing power with the people never was and never is their plan. Get it...?

Awww it’s so typical of the status quo to say something like that in order to preserve itself. Talking about one thing while I’m talking about something else. (You’re talking about “accumulating wealth” while millions are worried about accumulating enough food to eat this week.)

Add #WealthTax to this and we’ll start stopping the economic hemorrhage of money from the public treasury into the hands of a tiny few.

“There’s no reason why the top tax rate shouldn't be 39.6 percent, which it was in the beginning of the Bush administration. There's no reason why 91 Fortune 500 companies should be paying zero in taxes." - Biden. YES!! Tax policy key to wealth transfer (theft) from middle class.

I made this video in May. Since then our government has spent $4 trillion on Covid bail out money and only one/ fifth of it has actually trickled down to individuals. Just like in 2008, for the most part they’re bailing out Wall Street but not Main Street.
Wow, Marianne has been pushing for #DirectCashRelief for over half a year. Respect.

A better education of all children and greater economic opportunities for all people are the greatest bulwark against evil.

OK, so the nice words and the good intentions are established. Now could someone please say the words #DirectCashRelief? I’m getting a little antsy here.

Great. Then begin by supporting 2k/mo retroactive #DirectCashRelief during the pandemic. You can’t “participate” in an economy when you have no money.
