Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.

The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project.
Google is enabling fascism — all to protect its bottom line.
There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom.
Dems need to learn this.
