Tens of millions of Americans have no real hope of participating in a vibrant economy. They live each day to serve the economy; the economy does not serve them. They survive but they do not thrive. Healthcare and access to higher education could literally be a lifeline for them.

In the richest, most powerful democracy in the world there should not be so many economically desperate people. Low unemployment rates mask the deeper reality of almost 40 million people living in poverty. An incremental approach to fixing this is morally wrong. We can fix it now

It *sounds* good but attempting to implement Healthcare &educations for ALL foreigners ILLEGALLY in America WILL BANKRUPT AMERICAN TAXPAYERS..do YOU grasp that on ANY level of reality Ms. Williamson? American citizens ONLY social programs,payed for by a robust economy, could work

Imagine everyone who went to work today not having to worry about housing, food, utilities, healthcare, transportation, etc. Imagine how much more productive they would be not having these daily worries on their minds. That’s a win-win, the beginning of a real “vibrant economy.”

We can fix this no matter who is Pres. We need the house and senate for a few cycles and with your ideas and Bernies, etc. we will make things better. Biden will do away w tax cut, and more to raise revenues. Stay in the conversation. If Bernie wins nom I’m all in for him. 💙💚

Yes, they live paycheck to paycheck, 2 or 3 jobs, no healthcare, many homeless, then trump tells us how great economy is, low unemployment, keeping promises, and stock markets soaring?? Like WOW! gotta check our portfolio!?!?!

They have hope. Better to encourage their hope than drag them down with hopelessness.

Healthcare is a necessity just as is food. Even in a capitalist society such thing’s ought to reflect their natures appropriately and accurately. The largest issue is government in the healthcare system. It is a good idea to leave this to the Dr’s.
