More than 9,000 people came out in Warren, MI to say NO to oligarchy & NO cuts to Social Security, Medicaid, and VA programs.
The last thing we need is another commission to propose cuts to Social Security & Medicare. The last time we had one, it proposed cutting Social Security benefits for middle class seniors by up to 35% & cutting tax rates for billionaires. We must instead expand Social Security.
How does it happen that SoFI, a student loan re-financing company, could spend $625 million to put its name on the LA Rams football stadium when 45 million Americans are drowning in $1.8 trillion in student debt? Today would be a good day for the President to cancel student debt.
Unfettered capitalism is CEO compensation skyrocketing by 940% since 1978 while the typical worker's pay has inched up by just 12%.
This is not what America is supposed to be about. We must put an end to rampant inequality and finally create an economy which works for all of us.
Remember. The worst bills in modern history were bi-partisan:
-The Iraq War
-NAFTA
-Normalizing trade with China
-Repealing Glass-Steagall
-Extending the Bush tax breaks for the 1%
-The Wall Street bailout
-Welfare reform
Abolish the filibuster - for the people, not the 1%.
Just to recap: Congress members who get $174k a year in publicly-funded pay, publicly-funded health care, publicly-funded pensions, publicly-funded travel, and unlimited publicly-funded vacation and sick time think $300 a week for unemployment is "too socialist."
United We Dream says President Biden is "well on track" to repeating the mistakes of the Obama administration— deporting and expelling over 300K immigrants in the first 100 days, despite his campaign promise to halt deportations.
