Donald Trump, literally graywashing the values out of America.

It's worth mentioning: 40 million Americans receiving SNAP benefits is a population greater than the total population of Canada!

This is a true failure of American capitalism and American Democracy.

Keep voting for the correction! Reverse the permanent tax cuts for the 1%.

Same thing occurred in 1930s Germany.

Poverty seems to help with the rise of fascism, so it's perhaps not surprising that America in its post 2008 decline, after further economic hits due to the ongoing pandemic, is sliding quickly toward authoritarian leaders who promise prosperity (but only deliver it to the already wealthy).

"40 million Americans receiving SNAP is a population greater than the total population of Australia."; too!

And yet America voted for The Trump Crime Family...twice!

Truly amazing, but there it is.
Absolutely true: Americans harm themselves believing they are harming others.

Whisper in the ear of MAGA:

40 million Americans receiving SNAP benefits is a population greater than the total population of Canada! How do you explain that?

Of course, Murphy dear, but writing million dollar checks is something more significant.

Correction. It's a "will-to-distribute" issue.
Too much money supply in the hands of the 1%.
With more money supply in the hands of the 99% there will be more perceived & real opportunity 4 the 99% & 1%.
Think like Mitch McConnell but apply 2 the 1%: "They will get over it."Same for restoring ROE.
