Here in New Zealand this is also true. Malicious lies of the coalition:
Called the state house build a waste. Homelessness has increased exponentially
Called the ferries a waste. Fucked freight for years
Called school lunches a waste. Dismantled a network of SMEs for poor quality corporate slop

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.

I think that we should all remember that when National took over, talking about how the govt that looked after us were “wasting money” have made the situation for the majority so so much worse.
It’s better for the economy to look after communities not corporations.

Regular reminder that Govt creates new money when it spends, and deletes money when it taxes. The spending has to come first. The more Govt spend, the more money we have to pay taxes (and the more resources are appropriated by Govt ofc).

Awww c'mon, let National give it to landlords (IE their MPs), to fossil fuel companies, and ferry companies (as long as we get no ferries out of it).
They promise it'll trickle down. That line still works, right?

Remember homelessness costs communities more than simply building and buying the houses to fix it but it requires a fair taxation system and higher wages

There is absolutely no way politicians should be able to say with a straight face that power bills are reasonable, that rents are reasonable, that access to food is exactly as it should be, that wages are acceptable.
They are creating the conditions to enrich themselves while everyone else suffers.

I’m still trying to figure out how me alone manages to generate $250/month worth of power bills. It’s absolutely criminal

We have the MOST clueless Finance minister in Willis. She doesn’t know anything other than what her donors tell her.
Also, she simply does not care.
The Greens have some great economic policy - and frankly if big business hate it - it’s probably great for workers and communities.
