Mr. Reich, please continue to fight the good fight for my grandson and his generation. As for me, I am going to take my Social Security and meager savings to a country with better health care and an affordable way of life. Keep spreading your message.
I’ve done just that. Got sick of property taxes doubling when the value of my home went up only 10-12%! Bills, food, insurance up, up & up some more. I had it. Sold the house (while I still could). I now live at the beach in Mexico. Weather is great & I can live on Social Security. I feel bad for all those who are stuck in the mess. Things are about to get much worse. Don the Con is coming in with a wrecking ball.
@@angeliaeverett1695 he had 3 1/2 years before they released COVID on all of us to get rid of him...Look at his factual record. 1.4% inflation, energy independence gas under 2 bucks, most secure border in years, record employment for all races, no WARS under him, everyone was doing better, now look at Biden Harris and what they have done. If you cannot see the facts, then good luck if she wins.
We all will,regardless of how we voted. It's already looking bad with his cabinet picks. I will say,even I got a tax cut under Don the Con and my income was SS and a pension. It wasn't much,but I was happy to get it. He has moderated some of his statements about SS and Medicare . I guess he realizes the cost of stepping g on the "third rail" of politics. I hope.
Also, when Trump gives those tax cuts to the rich, less federal revenue means less is given to each state, which means they have less to give to cities and towns. So either city services are cut or property taxes go up.
"Despite the common belief to the contrary, veteran-specific benefits and services fall short of meeting the needs of veterans and their families, many of whom struggle to meet basic needs even with Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) supports!" The Governments always find the money to go to war, but not the funds to pay for their REAL needs. Thank you Robert. 300,000 plus Vietnam Veterans have died from illnesses directly related to their exposure to dioxin (Agent Orange) AFTER they came home and for years both the USA and Australia have fought paying benefits until recently. Sadly so many patriots paid that lack of help with their lives ... "Memorial Day" ... to both governments it's just another holiday.
My corporation which I bootstrapped from $0 to $80M worth has never seen the growth we experience today. The Trump years were hard years with constant uncertainty and faulty economic moves. Economically I could never vote Republican, they play for the ultra rich and care less for any class below that. The democrats bring stability and common sense for all
You're lying. The economy during Trump was never better. If you saw growth during dumbojo it was because all the previous business came flooding back AFTER the demorat shutdowns.
I opened up a high yield savings account back in 2017 and interest rate was 3.25 by the time Trump ended his term it had gone down to .5%. Now that Biden is in office it’s up to 4.44%.
Yeah? And what happened during that time between then and now? Oh I don’t know stock market volatility, trade war that Trump lost by the way, government shut downs oh by the way he saw the longest government shut down in history because he was strong arming Congress to get money for his wall that did nothing to stop illegal immigration, then of course there was a pandemic that he tried to ignore and when it hit the country he didn’t know what to do and was desperate to keep the economy open because he knew that was all he had, oh and then there was the shaky and anemic response to that failure, then there was a stimulus checks… So basically what I’m getting at is that Biden? It’s not his fault that you’re “high-yield savings account“ is not where it was, Bonnie. Biden had to clean up the mess of yet another failed Republican president. And I’m going to illustrate a little history to you. Republicans are terrible for your savings account. Don’t believe me? Ask people who experienced the crash of 2008. Oh and this is the part that’s going to hurt you the most but I’m here to help: if Trump gets back in office? He will put us on a path to get another financial meltdown. Where will your savings be then I wonder?
And what? These kinds of thought processes are very short sighted and don’t tell the whole picture. Since higher rates means increased borrowing costs, slower economic growth, higher mortgage payments, strain on small and medium sized businesses, lower consumer spending and confidence, plus many more. You making that in saving doesn’t really make a difference when it’s being passed on by the costs of everything else. Low rates also has its cons, however rates only went so low due to the world being halted by Covid, in order to stimulate the economy. This interplay helps manage economic stability, although it’s not always timed well or effective in the short term.
As a business owner I saw how I made more under democrats than I did under republicans. Sure I paid more in taxes but I made more money and it made my business stronger. My business almost failed under trump but under Biden I have so much to reinvest in the company and employees
i went broke when obama took office. couldnt get employees anymore at any wage. even $50 an hour. cause democrats paid them to stay home. whats your business? section 8 housing? smoke shop? liquor store?
From paying for day care and college, to managing mortgage payments. I'm approaching retirement yet inflation is getting worse. How can I generate more income to retire with at least $3m for long term care? I have about 750k in savings.
I agree. A financial advisor can really help you re-adjust and identify blindspots that you yourself do not notice, like mine did in advising me during COVID on how the pandemic will shape things, and I made it out big and still make up to at least 20k in dividend per month.
That's really great. I've tried doing some research myself to hire a financial advisor, but it's really overwhelming. Could you recommend who you work with, please?
Orwell warned about the US military industrial complex shaping a new world order. Big brother arrived post ww2 and we have been living in it ever since.
What are you talking about? This has been reported on extensively! If you actually paid attention stead of falling back into the boring “media bad” narrative, you might know more. Even the Wall Street Journal … which is very pro wealthy, and very conservative… reported on it. Local outlets reported on it, USA Today, The AP, Reuters, the Washing Paton Post, Business Insider, etc.. Your bad choice of media consumption is no one’s fault but your own, don’t claim no one is doing something just because you are too lazy to check.
What are you talking about? This has been reported on extensively From the AP to Reuters, to Business Insider and even the Wall Street Journal. You are just lazy, and fall back on the lazy "media: bad" narrative, because it is easy, and complaining is more fun than actually knowing things. So, how about instead of lying about reporters not doing their job, you start paying attention? IF this is the first time you heard of this, YOU are the problem, nobody else.
Most mainstream media is occupied by pundits who shill out what advertisers and corporations paying their salary want them to say. Shiny teeth & pretty hair models are not making sure you understand all the facts. Start asking yourself when you see & hear a broadcast "What is the reason this is important to say right now?" "Where is the info i need to understand X problem and what are my representations, not some wealthy buisnesses, solutions for X?" Notice how little a 24/7 newscycle, across hundreds of news outlets, with millions of viewers, is engaging the public in asking what Americans want to do about X perpetual problems, these businesses make monies convoluting & contriving. Write your congressmen, demand action in congress (or fired) regarding what we need to vote on, advocate ideas & changes worth voting on collectively. Not dualistic colors of absolutism.
Major industry move out. Trump Tax Cuts are incentives for the rich to come back and invest. In order to do that they need insurance that their investments is secure. America is on the brink of a Civil War. Would you want to invenst here?
Why didn't you mention the most important part? TFG says he will put a 15% tariff on imported goods. If people don't like high prices now, they'll hate it then. Spread this everywhere.
@@williamanderson4029 No not like that at all. Biden's tariff is targeted at the competition from Chinese EVs only, as a way of benefiting American car companies while they transition to EV technology. While one can argue about that strategy, it won't affect the economy in general. Unlike Mango Mussolini's general tariff which wil give us hyper inflation and trash what is currently the best economy in the post-Covid world.
@@3eyedfish I meant most important as an election issue. "It's the economy stupid", remember? In actual fact, the preservation of democracy is the most important issue. Most voters don't realize that.
So why did he insist on loosing money by running for president on multiple occasions. Unlike Biden he doesn't need to be in government to make a fortune 😂😂
1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Even go so far as to become The Biblical Antichrist, as God and Jesus warned up about.
And yet Trump’s fortune dwindled significantly during his time in office, while Biden and Obama (not to mention the Clinton’s) became multi-millionaires, all on their meager government salaries. “Show me a man who gets rich by being a politician, and I’ll show you a crook.” Harry S. Truman
You’re forgetting the brothel/casino in Nevada that was seized by the IRS over back taxes. Running it as a government operation, it folded completely and went bankrupt. “We’re from the government, and we’re here to help.” The nine most terrifying words in the English language, just as Reagan warned us.
Nah Biden is doing a fine job and beating everyone to bankrupting the house. Largest increase in deficit under Biden in americas history people. Oh and higher prices on everything, chaos in the world. Any democrats face when you list facts 👉🤬
When I was an English teacher in the Mesa Public Schools district in Mesa, Arizona, I applied for the federal loan forgiveness program. One stipulation was that applicants had to have taught two or three years in Title 1 schools. No, problem, I thought. I'd taught 11 years in Title 1 schools. When my application was rejected, I was depressed. My husband's cousin taught Math and he had his loan forgiven, but not me. Then I heard that only Math and Special Ed. teachers received the loan forgiveness. Later I heard that 93% of teacher loan forgiveness applicants did not get their loans forgiven. What gives, and where did the money appropriated for that program end up? Probably in some congressmen's or school administrators' pockets. Thank you, Robert Reich, for making Americans aware of these problems.
I worked 6 and 7 day weeks for years to pay off my student debt. I didn't twist anyone's arm to take out a student loan, and I don't want to pay for it. I figured out for myself that my aspirations of being an archaeologist were unrealistic, because the cost of my education wouldn't be rewarded by a higher income. If I could make that decision at age 18, why can't these young adults do it today?
@edwardstevens6787 Then what about the massive aid to Ukraine and Israel? Are those more important than the lives of the citizens who chose to get education? Education should be a right in a country like America. I have had to defer my doctoral program due to fear of incurring debt. It shouldn’t be! If the country could squander billions in Afghanistan why can’t education receive better funding and be made affordable?
@@edwardstevens6787 It's not about the degree; it's about the costs. I know someone who just had his debts forgiven. He studied geology, and got a job working for his state's EPA. He makes $15/hr. He's 62--now he can look forward to retirement. He's been paying the min for years--while he raised a family. My son in law just graduated with a degree in emergency management. He's got more FEMA certifications than most. He did an unpaid internship. While there are more disasters and emergencies than ever--he can't get a job in his field. He's working as a school security officer--because those loans come due the day you turn the tassel. It's compound interest, and you can't get rid of them with bankruptcy. Lots of people criticize those who carried debt, but no one has a solution that works for today. "The average cost of attendance for a student living on campus at an in-state public 4-year institution is $27,146 per year or $108,584 over 4 years." Most young people won't be able to pay off 100k in debt in ten years--not even working 7 days a week. This is why most young people realize they won't ever own a home. It's why so many aren't having kids or getting married. With compound interest, these debts often grow faster than they pay them down. Why is it okay to allow our younger generations to struggle financially? Deny them debt relief, and we'll STILL be paying for them--just not for their success. We'll be paying for their failures: SNAP benefits, Section 8 housing, Welfare, WIC, Medicaid, and even incarceration. Give 'em a hand up, and we won't be stepping over them sleeping on the sidewalks,
@@edwardstevens6787 not everything is cut and dry. People at 18 may be getting educated for jobs that are expected to make higher income but for whatever reason don't. Its also worth noting that the cost of college has skyrocketed. I'm guessing the average cost when you went was much more within reach as compared to a young adult today.
@@edwardstevens6787 not sure where you are politically but one thing to also consider. When trump's various businesses went bankrupt who ended up with that bill? We allow billionaire business men to fail multiple times and continue unscathed but if you take out a student loan... Only option is off the grid finances or death. We allow "entrepreneurs" like trump to take risks on the hopes of making it/becoming profitable but lord help a student take a risk to get educated and the job, or as high of an income as expected isnt there.
Yea, core inflation was around 3%, and Gas was hovering at two dollars a gallon depending upon what part of the country you lived in back in January of 2021... Barry was right; Brandon managed to Fuck this one all to hell...
@@StillPlaysWithModelTrains1956 People saved money during covid, because there was less to use it on, so increased spending rises inflation. Russia invaded Ukraine. That increased prices for oil and energy in general. Inflation in the rest of the world is higher, which means that what you buy there is more expensive. Of course, during the current president there are more people employed. That as well increases inflation. The same does the fact that the price for life crucial medicine has gone down (though in a small sense) and the fact that many have had wage increases.
Social Security is self funded - it has zero impact on the federal budget, or at least it did until the Republicans started raiding the social security trust fund for their pet projects. It was supposed to be a loan, backed by bonds, but of course was never paid back. They stole roughly $2 trillion dollars from it. Inflation and the cost of food, etc...is a result of big corporations inflating prices, charging more for essentials, leaving consumers forced to pay whatever they charge. The president (no matter which one) cannot change this, for good or bad. If you think Trump will reduce the cost of food, not going to happen. This is all incredibly frightening, there does not appear to be an end in sight to any of it. Hopefully, someone who can actually does something before it's too late.
He raised my taxes. He was ONE vote away from taking my healthcare. Now he wants to raise prices on most goods by 10%. Not on my watch! Donate, canvass, phone bank, call your representatives until they're sick of hearing your voice. We cannot allow this man to ever be anywhere near the White House again!
Well, Joe Biden already inflated our currency by 20% in just 3 years. If everything is Putin's fault, Trump's fault, or the pandemic, begs the question, who's in charge? Go ahead, cry about what didn't happen, what you speculate might happen, but our money is worth significantly less and if Joe Biden's leadership isn't sufficient to bring about prosperity, then what is his leadership worth? "Pay your fair share" said the man whose own son is getting away with not paying his fair share. "A little bit of breathing room" is all we get, but billions we don't have spent on proxy wars, which Biden has yet to solve or quell, is acceptable to you? Remind me how many million barrels of oil from our SPR was sold to China? Remind me how many billions we have given to Iran, a known supporter of terrorism, because people like you think money is not fungible? Reminder, it was Trump who championed the Abraham Accord, literally brokering peace in the Middle East, which was promptly sidelined when Joe took office, and now we have another war in Israel, costing us billions we don't have. Tell me again how Biden should be given another term and why we cannot allow Trump anywhere near the WH again.
2 weeks before that tax cut was put in (tax cut act of 2017), there was a special provision put in for partnership companies that allowed then DJT to claim those tax cuts for his businesses. And the guy who put that special provision in was none other than Steven Mnuchin.
Why is no one talking about the economic hazards of proposed migrant deportations? The effect of inflation in areas such as construction and housing, agriculture and meat packing, will be devastating! Not to mention labor shortages in general.
Because racism is paramount to all of the white boys and girls, which Trump exploits. Same age old BS as to blaming some perceived "enemy" for a nation's problems. And as to those same white boys and girls, I don't hear from any one of them about how migrants took their crop picking jobs.
You mean when he plans to tear people out of homes and their cars in front of their screaming (then traumatized) kids that were born here? Virtually leaving them with no parents and going into foster care? And doing that on a massive scale with millions of people? Yeah, who will then work in agricultural fields, restaurant kitchens, construction, etc etc. It's scapegoating in its most brutal form. The rich are way too rich and they make you focus on the poor immigrants.
Wow and the burden of 30 million illegal immigrants getting free handouts while real Americans get slapped in the face How ignorant can you possibly be. Your rose colored glasses of oppression are clouding reality and truth Grow a pair
@@MPMelo11 pretty sure they mean DJT and Republicans stoking willfully ignorant maniacs to go out and spread COVID instead of handling it seriously at the beginning. GOP tin foil hatters were literally coughing on food at groceries stores because Trump and FOXNews kept telling people it was a hoax
@@grimsonforce7504 Sleepy Joe seems like a weird insult because i've yet to see Biden fall asleep publicly but Trump nods off in court almost every day
The rich are all that matter. How many poor people gave you a job? The individual is solely responsible for YOUR OWN retirement, Healthcare, children, housing, food as Federal government is reduced 90%. The USA is insolvent and each person owes 106,000 USD on national debt.
You really think that the 2 party system can fix this? We're pretty much fucked at this point. Harris just wants to take more rights, Trump just wants to be a dictator.
I believe this video is true because Trump sure talks about $10 billion dollars a lot. He says it at all of his rallies. He does focus on making the rich richer. And the poor, well they can just do the best they can. It’s only fair for the rich to pay the same taxes that we do. But not under Trump!! If Trump goes back into office there’s going to be a lot of tears!!
Im against student debt relief program. I worked a full time job while studying college. People need to stop crying about it and be responsable for paying their debts!
Rich people can't exist without poor people. No wonder why there's not one movie with the premise of "rich guy wakes up in a dead world, and slowly goes insane while discovering the harsh truth beyond his golden-veiled comprehension". Kinda like "I am a Legend", but with Bill Gates waking in a Mad Max world, but a billion times worse.
Very profound! The rich cannot exist without the poor. Therefore, to create more Gigarich we must produce a lot more Poor, a lot more than a lot. And we seem to be very successful at that...
@@velisvideos6208 Exactly. Markets aren't static or totally finite things, but generally? A gain somewhere usually means a loss somewhere else. ... Unmoderated capitalism consolidates wealth into fewer and fewer hands over time. Money = power coupons. Capitalism, unless heavily regulated, becomes neo-feudalism. ...Like the USA in the late 1800's? Life in many "company towns" was more or less debt serfdom.
There was a book, a long time ago, 30-40 years ago, called Stark. The rich knew that the earth was being destroyed by their practices but to fix it they would lose some profits.😯 So they secretly built a moon base and some rockets to get themselves ( plus one, not necessarily the wife ) there. The world died, but the rich didn't have anyone else to do the work. The final scene was the main rich character opening the airlock to have a walk outside...
5 facts you need to know about Trumponomics 0:12 1. Tax cuts for the rich 0:45 2. Cuts to Social Security and Medicare 1:19 3. More junk fees 2:08 4. Soaring healthcare costs 2:50 5. No student debt relief
I'll add a couple more, straight from Project 2025, section on changes to the IRS, in American Fascist double-speak. 1. A REGRESSIVE tax structure will be created in which persons living at, near or under the poverty line will pay the same rate as someone who makes much more, i.e., there will be only 5 or 10 % rates. 2. Social Security, which is fixed, will be taxed at the same rate as wages, even though MILLIONS of Social Security recipients live below the poverty line. 3. ALL tax credits, including the Child Tax Credit, will be eliminated. 4. And, if enough revenue is not able to be generated with this tax structure, a 10% Federal sales tax may be implemented. Remembering that both the vast majority of wage earners and most Social Security recipients live paycheck to paycheck, does that libertarian-inspired policy seem like an intelligent way to increase spending to stimulate the economy? Tax to death the millions of people who can least afford it to the point that they cannot buy anything except absolute necessities? IMO this smacks of conservative voodoo economics created by wealthy people for the benefit of equally wealthy people.
It's NOT up to the federal government to use tax payer money to pay off private student loans. Those students knew what they were doing when they took the loans. People who made responsible choices shouldn't have to pay for them. The only way to address this moving forward is to stop the universities from continually raising their tuition because they know those loans are guaranteed.
Here's the right way to cut taxes: Remove taxes from: - [ ] Social security income - [ ] Unemployment income - [ ] Tips - [ ] credit card interest - [ ] Car loan payments - [ ] Student debt interest payments - [ ] Groceries! All of these things used to not be taxed, but then suddenly were taxed in the reagan administration to pay for their "trickle down" tax cuts for the rich.
@@spir5102 that's a state thing. More charter and religious schools are now supported by our tax dollars and don't have to allow kids with special needs.
*☀️Daily reminder☀️* *🔸️Updated🔸️* Concerning action that you, the US citizens, can take against judge Cannon. Not only her, but also justices Alito and Thomas: Glenn Kirschner, in a recent video on his channel titled *"Judge Aileen Cannon's Bias Is Showing,"* explains step-by-step how every concerned and angry American can file a judicial misconduct complaint form with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to insist that Cannon be removed from the case and a fair, impartial, and independent judge be assigned trump's federal case in Florida. *Update:* In a more recent video (towards the end of it) on Brian Tyler's channel titled *"Prosecutor takes on Supreme Court amid new scandal,"* Mr. Kirschner urges everyone to also file misconduct complaints (on the same website where you file againstCannon) against justices Alito and Thomas. One form per person. What do you have to lose, good people; *help make justice matter!!*
As a World citizen, I wish I could file these complaints myself, since it is in the interest of the entire planet that USA, being the world's most influential country, is as wholesome as possible in every aspect. To that end it is imperative that they hold trump (preferably also his co-conspirators & enablers) accountable and make an example of him. The very least I can do (being a foreigner) is to pass on the information about this recourse which Mr. Kirschner presents you Americans with. This (spreading the word) is something _everyone_ can do, and I encourage you all to get the word out here on youtube as well as to family, friends, relatives, and acquaintances. *Good luck, folks, and thank you!* 🇳🇴 ♥️ 🇺🇸

Yup, Dumpster Truck wrecked my bank account while he was president. In Canada. Because my bank decided to invest in US securities and Dumpster kept opening his mouth.
Can you do a video on Bidenomics so we can compare it point by point with Trumponomics? Is Biden better for middle class tax payers? And what about saving social security and medicare?

Why is this not playing on the NEWS nightly? Instead of talking about how bad Biden’s debate was or replacing the man who seemed to do just fine the previous 3.5yrs?
Robert, someone from across the Atlantic pond here. I really like how you show in plain English what would happen. Just one thing that really bothers me is that all that Trumpism, it's like a sect... You can't reason with them, they won't even take the opportunity to look at issues from multiple views and even worse they defend it without even questioning what truly has been said and what it really means for their personal situation. To teach the people to see things objectively, then to listen to someone who just says the right words, just to get back into office and let history repeat itself... Something around '39...
The better word is "CULT." However, with the moods and prejudices of so many right-wingers being allowed to surface, Trump can - and will be - replaced, but fools like "Speaker" Johnson are in the wings, ready to go. Just look at the sycophants that lined up outside the recent trial to kiss his, uh, boots, and hope for a blessing.
In Obama's first year in office, my mother-in-law proclaimed "he's spending us into oblivion - look at national debt!" I responded, "you weren't upset at the first $9 trillion run up under Republicans. Why does the tenth trillion concern you when we're in the midst of the worst crisis since the Great Depression?" She had no answer...and yes, she watched only Fox News!
I want to cut spending AND increase revenue... the RIGHT way. Why is it that the Two-Party System screams about spending and the debt but they don't want to stop the ***billions we give in oil subsidies?*** Why don't they say anything about ***Medicare Advantage companies STEALING from Medicare*** by double or triple-billing to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars? They throw money at the DOD with zero oversight. Read about the time we ***paid $52,000 each for TRASH CANS.*** For half of the country, that's more than you make in an entire year! For ONE trash can! We pay ***$777 billion each year to health insurance companies. And they RAISE PRICES AND DENY US COVERAGE ANYWAY!*** Republicans blame Democrats for "spending too much" but they don't want to ACTUALLY reduce spending on ACTUAL wasteful spending on giant corporations... just working people. Democrats don't ever seem to want to cut spending, because they're ALSO in the pockets of giant corporations. Neither side really wants to ACTUALLY tax the rich, which even 60% OF REPUBLICANS want. We CAN cut spending.... and we can raise revenue... and we can do it without hurting working people. But we HAVE TO STOP LISTENING TO THE LIES OF THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM! They are both BOUGHT by corporations.
Why the non-sequitur? You can (and depressingly many do) build a terrible nation with far less than "trillions" in any of those categories, and you can likewise build a good nation despite them. It's not about how much you've got, it's about how you use it. Reagan's choice for how to use it was taking as much as possible from the middle class and giving it to the already-wealthy, and nobody with enough power to do so has bothered to choose differently in the four decades since.

Health insurance premiums are already going up double digits. Last year we were at $2,053 per month. This year it went to $2,422. That's 18% increase in 1 yr. I'm not sure it will matter who is in office.
@user-sr8lf5um8p You are correct in the sense that the president can only do so much. That's why it's so important to vote the entire ballot and pay attention to all political races, not just POTUS. Also, remember that your local and state politicians are your "farm team." They are the ones most likely to advance to running for the "majors" (Congress and POTUS), so pay attention to and VOTE in your local/state elections.
Odd because here in California, my health insurance premiums went down. I know some friends who had theirs go up, but by 4%, not 20%. What state are you in?

Yep, corporate Dems are only slightly better on healthcare than Republicans. Very few politicians are interested in controlling healthcare costs. They are good at coming up with excuses why the system "can't" be made better.
Where do corporations get the money to pay taxes? They embed the cost of the tax into their products and services. The end consumer pays ALL taxes! The end consumer pays ALL taxes! Its not rocket science
Well, 20% inflation of our currency in just 3 years is a shadow tax on all of us. Is your home and car insurance more or less in the last 3 years? Are building and mechanic labor and those material costs more or less in the last 3 years? Are fuel and energy costs more or less in the last 3 years? 22oz cans of Arizona and Peace tea have been 99¢ for the last 20 years. Now they're at least 50% more. Is that a consequence of tax cuts, or poor economic leadership? Name one fast food restaurant that still has anything on its dollar menu that's only $1.
Great again and sooo true. And I don't understand why something that is called an 'entitlement', can be up for debate. You paid for it, you're entitled to it. You did not pay all those years to help the government fix their budgetary mistakes! And calling it a budgetary mistake is mild! Especially not when the debt got increased, benefitting the only group that doesn't need any tax cuts. From The Netherlands to the US ... Paint the legislative and executive branch totally blue 💙 and work on changing the judicial branch as they are the joke of the world (next to the Republicans in the House). How can judges and justices rule in such partizan ways? A judge should be above any political party and not serve one ...

Um, 20% inflation in the last 3 years is a good indicator of poor economic leadership, only stupid, delusional people will think otherwise. Name one thing that was bad/wrong with the economy under Trump. Joe Biden repeatedly says that he "inherited" 9% inflation. That's false. Inflation was 1.4% in 2020/21. How's that "Inflation Reduction Act" working out for us? Was that Trump, or Democrats who championed that? Even Janet Yellen herself, in sworn testimony in congress said, "the IRA does little to lower inflation." Go take a look at how much the national debt has increased in these Biden years, and take a look at the trillions in budget deficit championed by Democrats, then tell me whose leadership is responsible for the current dump economy we have now.
this past 4 years, my cost of living has never been worse. hard to call out the other party when your own party hs presided over the worse inflation in half century!
i've said this to a couple of other people, but the reason that inflation is so bad is because biden has been acting pretty fiscally conservative by doing things like not going after some of the major culprits of inflation, that being corporations who have been artificially raising the prices of things. Considering who trump is, the inflation will be the same or worse.
High inflation was caused by: 1. Tarriffs from Trump. 2. Supply chain disruption. 3. Corporate greed selling everything at a higher price. 4. Corporate consolidation leading to no competition and higher prices. Biden has inflation fallen by 60% and core inflation is at its lowest level in two years.
I'm just a "blue collar worker" however I lived with more money in my pocket & more food in my stomach when Donald Trump was president. Now I've got to cut costs & learn how to eat less under Biden's administration, still holding the same job that sustained the majority of my life. The last time I've had to count pennies like this was when I was 20 and first starting out in life. I'm in my 60's now, this should not have to be this way. Biden's approach to economics is starving me, truly want Trump back, I'll be able to eat again.

Boycot, if you dont buy, no one else buys two.
Also, when Trump gives those tax cuts to the rich, less federal revenue means less is given to each state, which means they have less to give to cities and towns. So either city services are cut or property taxes go up.
I wonder if voters in the Red States (which typically get more in federal government spending than they contribute in tax revenue) realize this.
It will be both

I opened up a high yield savings account back in 2017 and interest rate was 3.25 by the time Trump ended his term it had gone down to .5%. Now that Biden is in office it’s up to 4.44%.
Yeah? And what happened during that time between then and now? Oh I don’t know stock market volatility, trade war that Trump lost by the way, government shut downs oh by the way he saw the longest government shut down in history because he was strong arming Congress to get money for his wall that did nothing to stop illegal immigration, then of course there was a pandemic that he tried to ignore and when it hit the country he didn’t know what to do and was desperate to keep the economy open because he knew that was all he had, oh and then there was the shaky and anemic response to that failure, then there was a stimulus checks… So basically what I’m getting at is that Biden? It’s not his fault that you’re “high-yield savings account“ is not where it was, Bonnie.
Biden had to clean up the mess of yet another failed Republican president. And I’m going to illustrate a little history to you. Republicans are terrible for your savings account. Don’t believe me? Ask people who experienced the crash of 2008. Oh and this is the part that’s going to hurt you the most but I’m here to help: if Trump gets back in office? He will put us on a path to get another financial meltdown. Where will your savings be then I wonder?
And what? These kinds of thought processes are very short sighted and don’t tell the whole picture.
Since higher rates means increased borrowing costs, slower economic growth, higher mortgage payments, strain on small and medium sized businesses, lower consumer spending and confidence, plus many more. You making that in saving doesn’t really make a difference when it’s being passed on by the costs of everything else.
Low rates also has its cons, however rates only went so low due to the world being halted by Covid, in order to stimulate the economy.
This interplay helps manage economic stability, although it’s not always timed well or effective in the short term.
As a business owner I saw how I made more under democrats than I did under republicans. Sure I paid more in taxes but I made more money and it made my business stronger. My business almost failed under trump but under Biden I have so much to reinvest in the company and employees

When I was an English teacher in the Mesa Public Schools district in Mesa, Arizona, I applied for the federal loan forgiveness program. One stipulation was that applicants had to have taught two or three years in Title 1 schools. No, problem, I thought. I'd taught 11 years in Title 1 schools. When my application was rejected, I was depressed. My husband's cousin taught Math and he had his loan forgiven, but not me. Then I heard that only Math and Special Ed. teachers received the loan forgiveness. Later I heard that 93% of teacher loan forgiveness applicants did not get their loans forgiven. What gives, and where did the money appropriated for that program end up? Probably in some congressmen's or school administrators' pockets. Thank you, Robert Reich, for making Americans aware of these problems.
I worked 6 and 7 day weeks for years to pay off my student debt. I didn't twist anyone's arm to take out a student loan, and I don't want to pay for it. I figured out for myself that my aspirations of being an archaeologist were unrealistic, because the cost of my education wouldn't be rewarded by a higher income. If I could make that decision at age 18, why can't these young adults do it today?
@edwardstevens6787 Then what about the massive aid to Ukraine and Israel? Are those more important than the lives of the citizens who chose to get education? Education should be a right in a country like America. I have had to defer my doctoral program due to fear of incurring debt. It shouldn’t be! If the country could squander billions in Afghanistan why can’t education receive better funding and be made affordable?
@@edwardstevens6787 It's not about the degree; it's about the costs.
I know someone who just had his debts forgiven. He studied geology, and got a job working for his state's EPA. He makes $15/hr. He's 62--now he can look forward to retirement. He's been paying the min for years--while he raised a family.
My son in law just graduated with a degree in emergency management. He's got more FEMA certifications than most. He did an unpaid internship. While there are more disasters and emergencies than ever--he can't get a job in his field. He's working as a school security officer--because those loans come due the day you turn the tassel. It's compound interest, and you can't get rid of them with bankruptcy.
Lots of people criticize those who carried debt, but no one has a solution that works for today.
"The average cost of attendance for a student living on campus at an in-state public 4-year institution is $27,146 per year or $108,584 over 4 years."
Most young people won't be able to pay off 100k in debt in ten years--not even working 7 days a week. This is why most young people realize they won't ever own a home. It's why so many aren't having kids or getting married. With compound interest, these debts often grow faster than they pay them down.
Why is it okay to allow our younger generations to struggle financially? Deny them debt relief, and we'll STILL be paying for them--just not for their success. We'll be paying for their failures: SNAP benefits, Section 8 housing, Welfare, WIC, Medicaid, and even incarceration. Give 'em a hand up, and we won't be stepping over them sleeping on the sidewalks,
@@edwardstevens6787 not everything is cut and dry. People at 18 may be getting educated for jobs that are expected to make higher income but for whatever reason don't. Its also worth noting that the cost of college has skyrocketed. I'm guessing the average cost when you went was much more within reach as compared to a young adult today.
@@edwardstevens6787 not sure where you are politically but one thing to also consider. When trump's various businesses went bankrupt who ended up with that bill?

We allow "entrepreneurs" like trump to take risks on the hopes of making it/becoming profitable but lord help a student take a risk to get educated and the job, or as high of an income as expected isnt there.

Social Security is self funded - it has zero impact on the federal budget, or at least it did until the Republicans started raiding the social security trust fund for their pet projects. It was supposed to be a loan, backed by bonds, but of course was never paid back. They stole roughly $2 trillion dollars from it. Inflation and the cost of food, etc...is a result of big corporations inflating prices, charging more for essentials, leaving consumers forced to pay whatever they charge. The president (no matter which one) cannot change this, for good or bad. If you think Trump will reduce the cost of food, not going to happen.

Go ahead, cry about what didn't happen, what you speculate might happen, but our money is worth significantly less and if Joe Biden's leadership isn't sufficient to bring about prosperity, then what is his leadership worth? "Pay your fair share" said the man whose own son is getting away with not paying his fair share. "A little bit of breathing room" is all we get, but billions we don't have spent on proxy wars, which Biden has yet to solve or quell, is acceptable to you? Remind me how many million barrels of oil from our SPR was sold to China? Remind me how many billions we have given to Iran, a known supporter of terrorism, because people like you think money is not fungible? Reminder, it was Trump who championed the Abraham Accord, literally brokering peace in the Middle East, which was promptly sidelined when Joe took office, and now we have another war in Israel, costing us billions we don't have.

You really think that the 2 party system can fix this? We're pretty much fucked at this point. Harris just wants to take more rights, Trump just wants to be a dictator.
I believe this video is true because Trump sure talks about $10 billion dollars a lot. He says it at all of his rallies. He does focus on making the rich richer. And the poor, well they can just do the best they can. It’s only fair for the rich to pay the same taxes that we do. But not under Trump!! If Trump goes back into office there’s going to be a lot of tears!!
Im against student debt relief program. I worked a full time job while studying college. People need to stop crying about it and be responsable for paying their debts!
It's really all Republican politicians, not just Trump. The party consistently doubles down on all policies that hurt the economy and quality of life.
Which policies?
Absolutely
Rich people can't exist without poor people. No wonder why there's not one movie with the premise of "rich guy wakes up in a dead world, and slowly goes insane while discovering the harsh truth beyond his golden-veiled comprehension". Kinda like "I am a Legend", but with Bill Gates waking in a Mad Max world, but a billion times worse.
Very profound! The rich cannot exist without the poor. Therefore, to create more Gigarich we must produce a lot more Poor, a lot more than a lot. And we seem to be very successful at that...

Exactly.
Markets aren't static or totally finite things, but generally? A gain somewhere usually means a loss somewhere else.
... Unmoderated capitalism consolidates wealth into fewer and fewer hands over time.
Money = power coupons.
Capitalism, unless heavily regulated, becomes neo-feudalism.
...Like the USA in the late 1800's?
Life in many "company towns" was more or less debt serfdom.
So write the book and do the screenplay. If it’s successful, then you too can be one of the rich and show everyone how it’s done.
I heard a study one time---- For every 1 billion a person earns 100,000 people have to go into poverty.
There was a book, a long time ago, 30-40 years ago, called Stark.
The rich knew that the earth was being destroyed by their practices but to fix it they would lose some profits.😯
So they secretly built a moon base and some rockets to get themselves ( plus one, not necessarily the wife ) there.
The world died, but the rich didn't have anyone else to do the work. The final scene was the main rich character opening the airlock to have a walk outside...
5 facts you need to know about Trumponomics
0:12 1. Tax cuts for the rich
0:45 2. Cuts to Social Security and Medicare
1:19 3. More junk fees
2:08 4. Soaring healthcare costs
2:50 5. No student debt relief
I'll add a couple more, straight from Project 2025, section on changes to the IRS, in American Fascist double-speak. 1. A REGRESSIVE tax structure will be created in which persons living at, near or under the poverty line will pay the same rate as someone who makes much more, i.e., there will be only 5 or 10 % rates. 2. Social Security, which is fixed, will be taxed at the same rate as wages, even though MILLIONS of Social Security recipients live below the poverty line. 3. ALL tax credits, including the Child Tax Credit, will be eliminated. 4. And, if enough revenue is not able to be generated with this tax structure, a 10% Federal sales tax may be implemented. Remembering that both the vast majority of wage earners and most Social Security recipients live paycheck to paycheck, does that libertarian-inspired policy seem like an intelligent way to increase spending to stimulate the economy? Tax to death the millions of people who can least afford it to the point that they cannot buy anything except absolute necessities? IMO this smacks of conservative voodoo economics created by wealthy people for the benefit of equally wealthy people.
So they're capping credit card late fees at $8, but if I'm late to pay a $50 toll bill in NY, it's a $70 late fee.
It's NOT up to the federal government to use tax payer money to pay off private student loans. Those students knew what they were doing when they took the loans. People who made responsible choices shouldn't have to pay for them. The only way to address this moving forward is to stop the universities from continually raising their tuition because they know those loans are guaranteed.
What about the deductions we used to be able to take, like deducting our tax preparation fees?
Here's the right way to cut taxes:
Remove taxes from:
- [ ] Social security income
- [ ] Unemployment income
- [ ] Tips
- [ ] credit card interest
- [ ] Car loan payments
- [ ] Student debt interest payments
- [ ] Groceries!
All of these things used to not be taxed, but then suddenly were taxed in the reagan administration to pay for their "trickle down" tax cuts for the rich.

*☀️Daily reminder☀️*
*🔸️Updated🔸️*
Concerning action that you, the US citizens, can take against judge Cannon.
Not only her, but also justices Alito and Thomas:
Glenn Kirschner, in a recent video on his channel titled
*"Judge Aileen Cannon's Bias Is Showing,"*
explains step-by-step how every concerned and angry American can file a judicial misconduct complaint form with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to insist that Cannon be removed from the case and a fair, impartial, and independent judge be assigned trump's federal case in Florida.
*Update:*
In a more recent video (towards the end of it) on Brian Tyler's channel titled
*"Prosecutor takes on Supreme Court amid new scandal,"*
Mr. Kirschner urges everyone to also file misconduct complaints (on the same website where you file againstCannon) against justices Alito and Thomas. One form per person.
What do you have to lose, good people;
*help make justice matter!!*
As a World citizen, I wish I could file these complaints myself, since it is in the interest of the entire planet that USA, being the world's most influential country, is as wholesome as possible in every aspect. To that end it is imperative that they hold trump (preferably also his co-conspirators & enablers) accountable and make an example of him.
The very least I can do (being a foreigner) is to pass on the information about this recourse which Mr. Kirschner presents you Americans with.
This (spreading the word) is something _everyone_ can do, and I encourage you all to get the word out here on youtube as well as to family, friends, relatives, and acquaintances.

Just one thing that really bothers me is that all that Trumpism, it's like a sect... You can't reason with them, they won't even take the opportunity to look at issues from multiple views and even worse they defend it without even questioning what truly has been said and what it really means for their personal situation. To teach the people to see things objectively, then to listen to someone who just says the right words, just to get back into office and let history repeat itself... Something around '39...
The better word is "CULT."

Just look at the sycophants that lined up outside the recent trial to kiss his, uh, boots, and hope for a blessing.

Republicans blame Democrats for "spending too much" but they don't want to ACTUALLY reduce spending on ACTUAL wasteful spending on giant corporations... just working people.
Democrats don't ever seem to want to cut spending, because they're ALSO in the pockets of giant corporations.
Neither side really wants to ACTUALLY tax the rich, which even 60% OF REPUBLICANS want.
We CAN cut spending.... and we can raise revenue... and we can do it without hurting working people.
But we HAVE TO STOP LISTENING TO THE LIES OF THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM! They are both BOUGHT by corporations.
Why the non-sequitur? You can (and depressingly many do) build a terrible nation with far less than "trillions" in any of those categories, and you can likewise build a good nation despite them. It's not about how much you've got, it's about how you use it.

Um, 20% inflation in the last 3 years is a good indicator of poor economic leadership, only stupid, delusional people will think otherwise. Name one thing that was bad/wrong with the economy under Trump. Joe Biden repeatedly says that he "inherited" 9% inflation. That's false. Inflation was 1.4% in 2020/21. How's that "Inflation Reduction Act" working out for us? Was that Trump, or Democrats who championed that? Even Janet Yellen herself, in sworn testimony in congress said, "the IRA does little to lower inflation."
Go take a look at how much the national debt has increased in these Biden years, and take a look at the trillions in budget deficit championed by Democrats, then tell me whose leadership is responsible for the current dump economy we have now.
this past 4 years, my cost of living has never been worse. hard to call out the other party when your own party hs presided over the worse inflation in half century!
i've said this to a couple of other people, but the reason that inflation is so bad is because biden has been acting pretty fiscally conservative by doing things like not going after some of the major culprits of inflation, that being corporations who have been artificially raising the prices of things. Considering who trump is, the inflation will be the same or worse.
High inflation was caused by:
1. Tarriffs from Trump.
2. Supply chain disruption.
3. Corporate greed selling everything at a higher price.
4. Corporate consolidation leading to no competition and higher prices. Biden has inflation fallen by 60% and core inflation is at its lowest level in two years.
