Renowned economist Thomas Piketty says Sanders will be good for the economy
Gig economy is not working for people. It’s a Nightmare. #voteblue
The American economy is akin to modern day slavery. The promise of the gig economy for many people was financial security and flexibility. The fact is that these massive platforms like uber and Instacart don't generate a living wage for most and transfer all the cost to the workers. We can do better.
Trump promised Jobs, he has failed to deliver
Donald Trump promised to bring jobs back to America and revive manufacturing jobs in Midwestern states. His trade polices have had the opposite effects. This is a clear indication that Trump's policies have benefited the one percent, instead of the 99 percent. Voter's need to be reminded that when economy really breaks down because of Trump's policies he will not be able to rescue us from disaster like Obama did?
Low unemployment is misleading and not a sign of a strong economy
Federal reserve and the Trump white house have been pointing to the low unemployment to signal a strong economy, they were wrong. In their unemployment numbers they don't count people who have dropped out and have not found a job for 7 months or longer. Furthermore the wages, which usually go up in a strong job market have been stagnant. The economy is not as great as the politicians want you to believe.
When we get 43 million working poor in a country, it means our economy is not booming
Stock Market is not an indication that the economy is strong for average americans
The stock market is not a measure if economic success for the majority of Americans. So when Trump boasts of the stock market as a success is an indication that he is not aware of middle class struggles in our country. For the same reason 64% of the people reported that they felt worse or no better since Trump was elected.
Finland is a great example of Democratic Socialism where capitalism soars!
Finland is a good example of what 'Democratic Socialism" will look like. We get great health care without the paper work and equal in quality, we pay $300 a month for excellent child care, and child will get great K-12 education at no cost, regardless of the neighborhood we live in, and today Finland is one of the world's wealthiest societies with hugely successful global companies.
Conservative ideology to cut the budget to boost the economy is a failure. Alaska is proof
Here is a perfect example of how conservative ideology fails in the real world. Mike Dunleavy governor of Alaska tried to enact his small-government-conservative ideology in a deep red state and people revolted and have gathered signatures to recall him. The reason is that their ideas of no income tax and dividend worked as long as oil was profitable. Once that revenue dired down, they started cutting state spending which made people rise against him.
Trump boosted the economy for the rich by doubling the US deficit
The Recovery was only for the rich and not the middle class
Obama promised us hope and sided with Wall Street – We need to learn from that
‘Trickle-Down’ Economics does not work, income distribution will fuel growth
Trickle down economics which was the theory behind Regan, Bush and trump tax cuts and initially started as a Joke by Will Rogers in response to Herbert Hoover policies in the 1920's in response to depression era policies is rejected by IMF. They show that income distribution matters to growth and if we want growth we need to concentrate on empowering the lower 20%.
