⚕️ Pass Medicare For All Rep. Ro Khanna here. Dems must reject the economic illiteracy of Trump's blanket tariffs

795 Upvotes

Dems must reject the economic illiteracy of Trump's blanket tariffs that will drive prices up, investment down, growth down--pushing us towards stagflation. That doesn't mean embracing status quo policies that led to Trump. Gov't has to improve life for many struggling.

We can do it in a financially sound way. The way we reduce deficits is by taxing the wealthy more, cutting the bloated defense budget, cutting fossil fuel subsidies, & having Medicare negotiate against drug manufacturers to lower costs.

We also need new high paying jobs and economic growth. The times demand a Marshall plan for America's economic renewal. We can spur high paying job creation in every town & city that will lead to growth & increased tax revenue reducing deficit.

We cant simply go back to an America where we neglect inequality, or watch jobs being shipped offshore passively, or are resigned to wealth piling up in NY and SV while most Americans have no economic security.

Why would we want to go back to that --where people in too many communities do not have high paying jobs, young folks can't afford a house, many are struggling to pay medical debt or afford childcare?

We need a transformative vision so that ordinary Americans have a shot at success in the modern economy. That is what my economic patriotism is about. It is about finally getting economic security and independence for the majority of Americans.

Taxing the very rich & cutting defense contractors to pay for Medicare for All, universal education and $10 day childcare. And having the biggest high paying jobs development initiative this country has seen in decades. A pro growth, fiscally sound, progressive vision!

🤝 Scare A Billionaire, Join A Union It's crazy that the Rightwing sees Unions this way. Unions create an economy that serves the workers instead of Billionaire Bosses.

😡 Venting my workplace raised my salary...by one cent.

1 Upvotes

a few weeks ago, my workplace raised my salary. now, a raise is normally a good thing because you're making more money. however, my salary was only raised by one cent. not one DOLLAR! one CENT! i'm still making 15 dollars an hour. i like my job and i know that they were trying to do something nice but this honestly feels like more of an insult then if they just didn't give me a raise at all.
