In a country where even before the pandemic 40% of Americans could not afford a $400 unexpected expenditure, how do our esteemed elected officials assume people are surviving?

They're hoping people just die off so the problem 'goes away.'

They are all out of touch with reality. It seems to me that none of them understand the struggling American people that they represent.

The MMT suggests a huge opportunity for prolonged quantitative easing without any real negative macroeconomic impact. Is the lack of financial support in US/UK to continue the lie that they are not able to offer every single citizen a basic living wage in perpetuity?

Are you assuming that many of them care one way or the other?
How do you think Targeted Individuals survive when your community illegally cyber stalks them ? So enjoy your targeting.

Most elected officials only care about their own comfort and wealth, and they have become quite skilled at convincing the poor and middle-class to fight with each other, instead of placing pressure upon our elected officials.

What, in the entire life history of the members of Congress, gives you any indication that they give a shit?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Helping workers out is way more expensive then a fence around Congress. There鈥檚 also more money to be made bombing people in the Mideast the helping people in the Midwest.

They鈥檙e too busy enjoying luxury to care, Marianne.
