When the trickle-down con first began - and make no mistake about it, it was a massive con perpetrated on the American people - we were told about "job killing regulations." That "job-killing" phrase was the PR narrative created to trick people into thinking that all deregulation was a good thing. In fact, such regulations were job protections, labor protections, worker safety regulations, environmental regulations and so forth. Now we're seeing the result of this painful corporate-driven chapter of American history, in which our middle class has been hollowed out and millions left to suffer. We need to end that chapter and begin again. #marianne2024
Truck drivers used to make $100,000 a year. Today, many are homeless and live out of their trucks. The problem is deregulation. Before 1980 the industry was highly regulated, truckers were union, and it was a good job. Now the industry is unregulated, and drivers are suffering.

This is a complete lie. The trucking industry is one of the most heavily regulated transportation industries in the country.

Biden’s pro-union-first President to join a picket line for a strike that paid dividends in pro-worker contracts. Biden’s building an economy from the bottom up & middle out-NOT GOP trickle down. If you have constructive criticism, talk to Biden. He listens. Let’s unite for USA!

wish a help from God* Supeme power. 🙈🙏
I have drivers that make 100K+ per year. we offer full health insurance for them and their family with no payroll deduction. 3PL frat bros are way more responsible for taking money from the driver than deregulation. Trickle down has its problems. But this isn’t one.

Funny indeed shows that you can make $1,700 a week as a truck driver.

401ks have been the death of company retirement plans that actually offer pensions. Guaranteed money vs investment savings plans. The market is like a crap shoot and the only way to make sure money is the aggressive approach in 401k but you also lose aggressively at times!

This is why Social Security needs to be secure and away from Washington politicians who wanna borrow money from the program and never repay it back. The American people didn't decimate Social Security our own government did. Because of these lack of pensions we rely on SS!

Black op projects, NASA, the military I'm sure have seen the benefits of our Social Security . Ultimately it is theft by deception by our own government. Ms. Williamson what would you do to secure Social Security and protect it from Washington bureaucrats?
