Not even part time workers. Not even disabled people. Not even lazy people.

No American should live in poverty...no human being should live in poverty..even if they are lazy and neurodivergent...What does that even mean? We can never know who will rise up as a leader in times of need. We are all equal in the eyes of God..

Not until 2026. After his first & only term - more than enough time for his corporate pals to either gut it or kill it entirely. #NotImpressed

Bernie said that. Not Biden. If Biden is saying that now....not take no his word for it. He does lie quite frequently

Marianne you are a nice person, so please don't undermine yourself by giving #AusterityJoe any credit. He is going along til he doesn't have to. It was supposed to be 2k checks now its 1400, what else will he back off on? hes a liar. Don't gas him up.

Marianne, first, $15 is not enough to make this true. Second, heโ€™s far from the first person to make that statement. Letโ€™s see him make that statement on its own merits, and then actually do something about it. Especially since heโ€™s the President and has congressional majority.

By that logic we could fix all poverty simply by printing more money!

Then the amount of the minimum wage needs to equal the cost of living.
