Imagine what America would be like now if every adult knew they’d be getting $2k/mo (retroactively to when the pandemic began) & $1k for every child. Imagine how much panic, suicidal despair, domestic conflict & hunger would fall away. And be clear: we have the money to do that.

Private debt matters. Government “debt” is just outstanding treasury bonds that are just a savings account at The Fed Limit on government spending is availability of real resources for 💵 to buy: latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/la…

USA won't become a socialdemocracy because of its ineffective foundation and the fact that it rejects how USA was founded. That's the truth. If this can't be accepted, move. I do think that the stimulus check should've been more generous. But these people want more & more.

Not just America. It's worldwide. The bankers want to own the world.

Is that why trump didn’t start any wars. Those are all old Obama/Biden wars and beyond that. Try looking into many aspects of the world not just what your told to be true. There is so much more going on but how would you know. You believe anything you see

Will giving a family of 4 $6,000.0 a month universal income take the place of all the other programs or will it add to it. Right now social safety nets can total $50,000 a year. Now you're adding $72,000? The average family will be makin $122,000.00? I'd take that deal.

Most importantly, this decision wouldn't actually cost us anything! Money that is immediately spent back into the economy is not wasted, it's redistributed. Not understanding this fact is the only real reason the entire country isn't already progressive.

It's called "The Federal Reserve". The federal debt is not a real problem. Conservatives only pretend it is when they want to argue against programs that will help Americans while a Democrat is in the White House.

Imagine if you understood how money is created and how federal programs are funded!

The debt doesn't matter. (inhale, exhale). We don't need to sell the national parks (or anything else) to pay the debt.

The fed has been spending deficit money like crazy for a decade. Where is the inflation? Economists know that inflation only rises when the nation's industrial capacity is being stressed.
