Austerity is Murder🌹

I have consistently put solutions on the table in the activism I perform.

Every single podcast and video is solutions based.

The powers that be & their advisors know we can do so much more.

I know this for sure & that is what is so disturbing.

There is NOTHING to celebrate.

We new we could nationalize payroll...

Who paid attention? Not a fucking soul.

We knew that corruption and control fraud run thick and deep through both vile parties yet folks sheeped up to the gods of "vote blue".

@JoeBiden

We knew @JoeBiden wasn't our friend and that people were being fed to Wall Street and that hasn't stopped at all yet folks who know better still celebrate this shit partisan bill watered down by even worse @TheDemocrats like @JoeManchinWV

@JoeBiden

Look at what this sleezy SOB @JoeBiden has done over his career and know there is nothing to celebrate, yet the folks who don't need his stimulus are busy celebrating it like some victory

realprogressives.org/podcast_episod…

We have known we could afford a Green New Deal and a just transition but we have screwed around as climate change ravages Texas, California, Florida and the world

realprogressives.org/podcast_episod…

I just don't understand and have so much to chew on.

We could have done so much during this pandemic

Instead we left folks drowning in the private debt trap

realprogressives.org/podcast_episod…

We have to do better as activists demanding. Taking to the streets. Ignoring the bourgeoisie when they celebrate Biden and Harris

realprogressives.org/podcast_episod…

Why didn't we pay attention?

Sadly MANY activists look at advisors and politicians and assume THEIR VISION for change is up to the task of helping the drowning from dying. But they have a job and a boss and they ultimately have to sell their bosses policies and praise them. That's not & should not be our way

Neoliberals represent an existential threat to even their most ardent defenders for the following 3 key reasons:

1. Neoliberals represent the status quo during times when drastic action is required. They tell everyone everything is impossible and then ensure it is impossible by instituting austerity measures of deficit reduction and tax hikes.

2. Neoliberals allow lesser intellects and wealthy people to feel they have done their Civic duty example preventing Trump and then go back to sleep...

@JoeManchinWV

What I hope people get from this Biden stimulus bill: we could have solved the problems and we chose to celebrate bandaids, even with a Democratic super majority. We still allowed @JoeManchinWV to hurt millions of people. We allowed a lot of people to be left in the cold.

Remember we Backstopped Wall Street and other FIRE sector corporations with TRILLIONS of zero interest loans and took bad debt off their balance sheets without flinching but we had to reduce unemployment benefits by $100 to appease... Democrats?

We still have not eliminated student debt, why?

The absolutely ONLY thing I can think of to celebrate about the stimulus is it serves to shatter the Deficit Myth and yet it was too tiny and now the counter strike will attack this pittance.

Don't let the bad guys talk about inflation. We are nowhere near full employment, so any talk of inflation should be met with guillotines

Bbbbut inflation= guillotines
Bbbut confidence in the dollar = guillotines
Bbbbut personal responsibility = guillotines

NEVER FORGET THAT THE DUMB FUCK DEMOCRATS BELIEVE A PERSON MAKING $80K IS RICH... forget they have no capital, buried in child support, student debt & a host of neoliberal taxes and fees. So they will just keep fucking families to hide the theft of Wall Street 2 keep fucking us.

Possibly the next grossest thing aside from the Dems fetish with means testing is the "Progressives" who believe this shit as well, punching their neighbors rather than tearing down the oligarchy.

If you are not holding capital and beyond a paycheck, you are working class even if you drive a new car or wear a tie. People need to get the 99% will be needed in this battle.

FYI... The costs of Medicare for All are estimated at 30 Trillion. The costs of a Federal Job Guarantee & Free College? Lots. The cost of eliminating student Debt... Trillions. The costs of rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure trillions ...the costs of universal childcare 1/x

Trillions. The costs of a Green New Deal TRILLIONS...

Being completely coherent and well versed in macroeconomics, it is obvious to me without even doing the homework that if you play by conservative talking points of tax payer dollars "paying for" programs... It will suck every dollar in existence into the shredder and...

Very little I hate having deal with more than someone who has a lot of mythology for their understanding of the relationship of Federal Reserve (the Nation's Central Bank), the Treasury and bonds. The reality is boring & relatively easy to explain the myth takes you into bigotry
