Declaring Economic D-Day against Iran and tariffs against most of the world for no reason whatsoever makes everyone outside of America hate us.
Putin wants the United States to be a pariah. And clear as day, we see republicans doing his bidding.

Social Security is only as insolvent as Elon Musk

If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits.
There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

Look at this graph.
The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.
This is why we must build back union power.
