Parts of what Bernie Sanders started with the Democratic Party

Part of it starts off with the idea or new monetary policy economics
is in danger since Trump, since Covid, since the Russian Aggression
against the Ukrainian people, and it's true history.

well before this, the Democratic Party was very much part of the
problem.

Stalin lead the way to Korea,
and LBJ did a lot for civil rights,
and then there was Vietnam

I am old enough to remember stagflation
the Nixon gas lines, the attempt to control prices,
Under Nixon the launch of the Bretton Woods system
materialized.

Climate change is real, so too is inequality, how obvious
these things are.

And the US has the authority to print money
the actual payment on National Debt is at its lowest
in fifty years.

The whole idea is about fixing infrastructure, providing affordable healthcare,
and good education for all.

The whole idea is providing a sustainable economy so that all
succeed in earning a livable wage.

Finally, the new Democrats start to enact, and all the Republicans
do is moan about supply deficits that create huge inflation,

discount the idea of removing patent subsidy,
which could save US taxpayers hundreds of billions each and every year,

And yes, call legitimate policy measures - leftist socialism/ that old
slippery slope towards communism meme Friedrich Hayek warned about.

WE even got a new useless piece of crap called crypto coin,
that unfortunately people who didn't have the money invested in.

The US increased its financial sector and the computer science
went to crap with software patents up the wahoo

or is it down the wahoo

It doesn't take a genius to know the narrative means everything
in economics, in Democracy, in life.

Fake news, misinformation, disinformation,

there's too much money in politics,

No - it's not good for the economy when there's no truth
in the discussion of politics or policy isn't even mentioned.

Just because someone somewhere gets richer than shit.
