@rbreich The US economy has been converted into a company store by way of oligarchic regulatory capture. There's no way back from this other than starting over.

The entrenched powers have installed themselves in every minute corner of the apparatus. We fix that by abandoning the old structure and burning it down with them inside.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dolkar going to low wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It's not about what this country can or can't afford.

It's about priorities.

Medicare for All, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street's greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
