@rbreich I think that they've made it fairly clear that "responsible" in "fiscal responsibility" means that none of the money goes to somebody who they wouldn't let their daughter marry.
@rbreich Economic crises are long in the making but quick in the precipitation. Soon the Economic costs of bad US economic policy will come to fruition.
@rbreich If not for the US spending on health care 2x what other OECD nations do as a proportion of GDP (half of which is spent by the Federal government under Medicare, Medicaid and the VA), there would be no deficit. Smashing the AMA cartel and allowing Medicate/Medicaid to negotiate volume discounts would go a long way.
“I was a-hundred-and-eighty-six thousand dollars in debt before being elected to the 118th Congress, and now I’m a millionaire! I know the path to prosperity, and it’s gonna look a lot like a deep part right down the middle of your skull. Just lemme roll my sleeves up first to show you how real work is done.”
And your reminder that Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower had robust wealth taxation and the LONGEST ECONOMIC BOOM in history. And they paid off the debt from WW2. And built highways.
Biden has 40 MONTHS of continuos job growth. Only matched, only matched by Roosevelt, Truman Eisenhower.
FDR built a fairer America, and it works. Biden is too.
