Yes. Tax the goldbricking rich. Put that money to work.
The goal of a democracy should be jobs
first, not wealth. Concentrated wealth
crashes consumption. No consumption
means no jobs. Someone with $500 million
does not buy 10,000 times more food, goods, or local services as someone with $50,000.

He had graduated with a degree in nursing and was preparing to complete the procedures required to obtain his professional licence. He dreamed of working in a hospital, pursuing a master’s degree or taking specialised courses. But the war pushed him onto a different path.

"Hegseth’s speech proved, again, that he is manifestly unfit for his job. The US can endure a bloated Pentagon with some generals in make-work jobs. What a democracy cannot tolerate is a secretary of defense who wants America’s military to be the armed instrument of his own resentments and biases."
