In the richest country in the world, no one needs to live in poverty; no one needs to be homeless; no one needs to be uneducated; no one needs to be underfed; no one needs to be without healthcare, clean water or healthy food. Every one of those results from bad policy decisions.

No one needs to live in poverty in this entire world. We need to stop seeing ourselves as separate from the rest of Humanity, we are all one. We can do better than this archaic mode of thinking from ages long gone. thevenusproject.com/resource…

It’s by design, it’s not bad policy. Forced austerity creates privation that leads to desperation and fear. Those who have nothing become the bad example for those barely getting by. Everyone keeps their heads down and stay out of the oligarchs way as they do whatever they like.

More communities of poor families are ruined by liberal policies and democratic run cities than anywhere else!! Just like Obama in Chicago, only thing he did was get rich, no other accomplishments in his ward. That's just the facts!

Greed. Selfishness. Rugged individualism. Capitalism in a nutshell.

Not bad policies. Unfettered greed of the "representatives" whose only goal is to enrich themselves even more. $ hoarding is a mental illness like any other hoarding.
No-it is a direct result of the people of Congress working for themselves and corporations. Its not a dem/gop thing. Wake up, that is a tactic to divide us so we do scrutinize the rich people at the top.

Yes, the most pernicious aspect of bad economics in the conservative style is the submersion of ethical choice, volition, moral judgment, and the role of democracy in discussions of economic policy, the idea society can and should leave the economy to technocrats to work out.
