So, I understand that Federal taxes are used to offset Federal spending. Not actually paying for anything. Yet using the Neoliberal propagandized narrative. We just saved 300,000,000 a day, that we spent for over 20 Years. On a failed war. 1x

So why isn’t the Fed Gov using that money to cover all the renters and owners that are about to lose their home from eviction. They were forced to stay home. Businesses were forced to shut down. Rightly so under the circumstances. Yet they had no plan to make people whole.

I assuming now in Congress, there is a policy being written up as I type this, To replace all the lead pipes in #Flint. Also paying all medical expenses for the people of an entire town poisoned by Government. We can afford it now. (Always could)

Also, 300 million a day is a lot of money. I see no reason why we now can’t end the suffering of homelessness. Those people we see on the corners holding those signs. Who the working poor are afraid to look at because we all know deep down. In this unfair system. Could be us.

I see absolutely no reason why we can’t have free College, Medical for all. Or maybe raise SSI payments so our elderly could have a respectable standard of living. We could pass reparations for our past history of slavery and the Jim Crow laws still on the books today.

The truth. We could of had these thing a year ago. Five or ten years ago. I learned this in 2016. It totally destroyed everything I was. It was like I was reborn seeing the world for the first time. I learned what was truly possible for the richest country in all of human history

I’m also so tired of knowing that this truth is out there now. It’s in the public domain. Yet so many people have no idea or are so self defeating, they just don’t believe anything could be different. Never seeing any light at the end of the tunnel. I use to be you..

I’m angry as hell that people in Congress, Who I considered allies. I know understands this truth, yet none have the courage to stand up and speak it. Except @RepJohnYarmuth He spoke pure fire and truth. Will provide the link down below.

@AOC @RepRoKhanna @RepPressley @CoriBush @SenSanders I call on all members of the Progressive Caucus. Be as brave as Mr. Yarmuth was. Tell the truth about Federal spending and taxation. #NotMeUs

I also call on all Indy media who believes they’re truth seekers to arm yourself with the knowledge that explains every aspect of Fed Gov financing. One book, (10 hours on audible) will teach the basic understanding. It will destroy your perceived notions of what’s possible.

As promised above, @RepJohnYarmuth on CSpan not long ago. c-span.org/video/?512625-…

That book is by @StephanieKelton. I highly recommend you judge my words by reading her outstanding work. Listen to The Deficit Myth by Stephanie Kelton on Audible. audible.com/pd?asin=154911…

We could truly change society for the better if people fighting for a better world understood how we pay for everything we do as nation. Not blindly listen to the people in power, we know are lying to us. We are only limited by our imagination and the real resources available.

I just want to thank @sdgrumbine and every volunteer and activist at @RealProgressUS. @UntouchablesNew I continue to learn a little more each day. Keep fighting the algorithms! You all make a difference.

Rant Off.
