  1. Pretty funny that the CBO reported more poor people would get help under Mccarthy deal and republicans jumped up to deny those claims. Like "Hell no we're not helping poor people, how dare you make such nasty accusations"

  4. That's why we need a federal jobs guarantee, it would set a real minimum wage. The current minimum wage does not apply to many disabled workers, and of course the minimum wage for an unemployed person is $0

  17. They're fighting against racism, media perpetuated misunderstandings about the nature of government debt, untold amounts of dark money and a form of government structured to favor the minority. Its not all smooth sailing, but it won't be long before texas flips. We have the math on our side

  20. not true, the stimulus money is long gone. Inflation has been due to disrupted supply chains from covid, they've recovered now and we're seeing inflation come down rapidly

  21.  @jacobunderwood4957  that kind of sums up conservatives in a nutshell. They don't want to spend money solving an immediate problem, and end up spending much more money in the long term. It's the same with homelessness and climate change

  22. fiat is more real than gold

  23. I like marianne but she knows she's not winning a primary, which leads me to believe the only reason for her candidacy is to weaken Biden

  32. Its funny how offended Republicans get when you refer to this country as a democracy. Theyll blurt out that we're a republic as if the two are mutually exclusive all because they're unpopular af

  33.  @t221000  Judging by this guys other comments, he is a rightwinger lol No wonder he likes Dore

  34.  @ELTEAESS  maybe delete your previous comments if you're going to pretend to be on the left. You should be a lot better at grifting considering your'e a dore fan

  38.  @StaticCollapse  weakening Biden doesn't help the left in my opinion

  39.  @jackied962  We've also done tonnes of deficit spending for decades with on resulting inflation either. Inflation was caused by a variety of things, mainly the disruption of global supply chains due to covid, but also due to corporate mark-ups. 2021 was a record for mark ups. Thankfully supply chains have recovered, and inflation has been falling sharply as a result.

  43. Prices don't determine value. A sports star is not more valuable than a doctor, but they get paid a lot more

  44.  @miguelbruno-vd8yz  No the free market determines prices not value. People are paid handsomely for watching the stock of monster energy drink all day

  45.  @miguelbruno-vd8yz  Sure, but value is not determined by the price of someones labor

  46.  @holden6104  Nah, inflation happens when the spending exceeds the productive capacity of the economy. Thankfully global supply chains have finally recovered from covid, and now we're seeing inflation come down rapidly despite the fact we're still printing a lot

  47.  @NM-qd3tm  If people still have check from 2 years ago, it's being saved. And inflation over the past 6 months has been very low, in fact it's almost back down to the fed target of 2%. This is almost entirely due to recovered supply chains and untied bottlenecks
    1
  48.  @NM-qd3tm  6.5% over the year sure, but i said look at the inflation rate over the last 6 months. Inflation started plummeting in the second half of last year, right in line with the supply chains recovering

  49. why did employment go up then?
    1
  50.  @robertjacobs7223  People are poor for a variety of reasons, lack off opportunities, maybe they got sick once and got bankrupted by the medical costs, injuries at work, the housing shortage causing massive rents etc
