THE RULING CLASS of America; the Drug, Insurance, and Fossil fuel companies - are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to stay in power. The Pharmaceutical industry alone has 15,000 paid lobbyists in Washington – 3 lobbyists for every member of congress.
AMERICA IS OFTEN NOT even ranked in the top 15 in Education among developed countries. The U.S. ranks dead last overall in Healthcare compared with six other industrialized countries. We're not even ranked in the top 10 for infrastructure. Our economy dropped to 10 in 2020. It's embarrassing that we rank high on having poverty. We're the worst in low-paying jobs. We're not even ranked in the top 15 for freedom (too funny) and not in the top 10 for happiness.
The current Biden bills - which a majority of Americans support - aim to improve upon all these lame rankings - with a specific outline as to how it will get paid for (remember, Trump's 2017 trillion dollar handout to the rich had NO PLAN to pay for it).
Fox News convinces people they don't need better education, clean water, fire departments, policemen, doctors, and decent wages. It reminds me of the interview with yet another uninformed Trump supporter who said, "I can't stand that stupid Obamacare, but I love being enrolled in the Affordable Care Act". SMDH
Most of the beautiful countries (that rank higher than us) are Republics that don't give huge tax breaks to the very rich - and then con the non-rich into thinking that's a good thing.
If you have NOT been conned, please CALL 202-224-3121 IMMEDIATELY and speak to Senators Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema and DEMAND that they stop helping Republicans take down democracy!!!!! The demise of our republic is exactly what Putin and China would love to see happen.
AND IT WILL BACKFIRE on Repubs who vote "No" to what the majority of Americans want - a child tax credit, universal Pre-K, lower drug costs, clean water, an expansion of Medicare to help with vision, dental, and hearing. Most Americans also want the country's infrastructure to be improved and strengthened (which will create more jobs and make our communities better). Most Americans HATE the typical little band-aid fixes to the economy that only leave us battling again just a short way down the road. Most Americans agree with Biden's robust plan and substantial effort to make America smarter, stronger, healthier, and richer for decades to come!
While Dems still have issues to work out like how much and what all to do - only a few are not doing what their specific constituents want. HOW DARE Manchin and Sinema wait till the last minute to be specific (or not) about what it is they think is better. Joe Manchin's people in West Virginia are finally mad at him for trying to always be the "center-of-attention" with no clear policy. Krysten Sinema has been warned by Arizonans' that she will get a "No-Confidence" vote for her betrayal of democracy.
Repubs will lose for certain in 2022 and 24 if they prevent America from prospering - because WE WILL REMIND EVERYONE! (we have the receipts).
