#WolffBites: The biggest threat to US capitalism is this inequality: 20% richest do 59% of total consumer spending that keeps economy going, but poorest 80% do only 41% of spending. Capitalism keeps producing the inequality that destroys it.

It was liberals - now called "centrists" in both parties - who passed the laws giving presidents the powers now used against them. The centrists aimed to use that power against leftists. Ironically the far right now uses it against the centrists. - Meme credit: @redneckgonegreen.bsky.social

Huge tax cuts for corporations and the rich means cuts to programs people need, plus $ trillions more US govt borrowing. Out of control capitalism, driven by the rich to get ever richer. This will end badly.

#WolffBites: Trump's new budget (for 2025-6) shows his real priorities: military, police, ICE. His budget shows biggest cuts for housing, healthcare, and infrastructure. Old GOP priorities on steroids.

#WolffBites: The last many Presidents all promised to return manufacturing to the US. All failed. Trump promises the same but looks likely to fail too. Capitalism is our problem, not our solution. Our presidents dare not admit that.

Systemic US racism fell little since 1980s. Home ownership data show 3 decades of DEI changed little. Trump smashing DEI is mostly fake symbolism for his base, to get them to accept the austerity Trump will dump on them.
