Most institutions don’t have a trust problem.
They have a design problem.
Trust isn’t built by messaging—it’s built by how decisions are made, explained, and owned.
@theDChuddle@danturrentine I hope that's the case, but you, Platner, El-Sayed, and Mamdani all won the past year, plus a few other very far-left candidates. Seems like some of the democratic base does want really far-left candidates with crazy ideas.
The US national debt and entitlement programs face serious problems in the next decade. This is based on the government's own projections.
Federal debt held by the public is 101% of GDP today. The CBO projects that it hits 120% by 2036 and 175% by 2056, levels the US has never seen, even right after WWII.
@emilyjashinsky Is the Dem establishment actually fighting? They seemed to rally around Platner and El-Sayed rather quickly, along with Mandami. I think much of the leadership is fine with pushing to the far left if they think that's where voters are at or will go.
@Perez_Writes Grow a mustache, get a truck, and a tattoo. Grab a book that's at least 50 years old, and you'll meet the most interesting people everywhere.
@kgcarney He'd be my pick for President as well. Understands foreign policy well, has strong leadership abilities, communicates well, and can handle the challenging economic issues that we'll face moving forward.
Been saying this for years. The national debt is out of control. Debt payments are rising. Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are headed towards insolvency. The population is aging, and we've seen a drop-off in the number of children being born. Everything will seem fine, and all of a sudden a crisis will be upon us. Nothing will change until then. Great segment @EWErickson
@PMaxiums@EWErickson Yeah true. Less is more. Also, having more mainstream positions that aren't too far out on the political spectrum so you don't have to backpedal.
