Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.7:00 PM · Sep 27, 2026 211122283860

Voted for Hubie and Kamala @stef47.bsky.social · 27/09/2026↪ Replying to @rbreich.bsky.socialIt’s key to understand that the wealthy love the national debt. Love ❤️ it. Treasury bonds are risk-free assets and collateral for low-cost private borrowing. They hammer on debt only to push austerity on the unwealthy rest of US. Austerity means fewer services, less spending, and less taxes on them. 194
