Charles Ogletree always stood up for what is right. A true patriot, he dedicated his life to the fight for civil rights and the freedom of all people. He pushed America to live up to our highest ideals: dignity, equality, and justice for all.
It was my honor to call Charles a friend, and I will miss his brilliance and wisdom. Doug and I send our love to his family, friends, and everyone who loved him.
@southernmsgurl@davidhogg111 They are all paying their way - guns are the exception in the economy. Weapon manufacturers insist that the rest of us underwrite the carnage they do. Where is their sense of personal responsibility?
@TyKeynes@StephanieKelton Who’s surplus? A grotesque percentage ends up in the hands of the few or overseas where it sticks - unless the fiscal spending is carefully targeted MMT is useless as a practical tool to explain and enhance economic justice.
@wbmosler@PhilArmstrong58 Not all imports retain value beyond a few months. Importing national security goods creates a dangerous dependency. Strategic imports or raw resources useful to rebuild our industrial base and infrastructure is a different matter.
Apparently the Garland Principal is that serving as President acts as a pardon for all crimes committed prior to and during office - post office crimes may be prosecuted only with proof beyond any doubt whatsoever. IOW TFG is above the law. Just admit it.
@wbmosler@chigrl@wbmosler - where does the $$$ of interest go such that it creates or aggravates inflation in consumer goods? I can see inflation in high end goods but used cars?
@AdamKinzinger A Country is its people, not its dirt. Establish an armistice with free transit to all who want to go to U. NATO and EU me@bership. Use war dollars to rebuild instead and watch U thrive while the annexed provinces suffer under R rule. Reunification as soon as Putin is gone.
Now that SCOTUS has gutted the most basic judicial principle of stare decisis (rational and predictable consistency), it is getting ready to unwind civil rights legislation, FDA, FTC, and all other Commerce clause based Federal laws. Here comes the 1950s right back at you.
