One of the reasons we need universal basic income plus higher taxes on the rich is to boost the spending power of the bottom 60% and in doing so, reorient our economy around the needs of the majority of people who comprise it. As inequality has increased, our economy has adjusted to meet rich wants.

This guy always sounds like he got his response to a reporter out of 1984.
KARL: Why is the Defense Secretary afraid to interact with journalists who cover him?
JOHNSON: I reject the premise
KARL: The guy has only had 2 briefings and he basically forced the press out
JOHNSON: I can't remember a Secretary of Defense who has been so transparent and out in the open

1\ Russia has said it desperately needs to borrow a lot more money, which should mean higher finance costs.
Not just because they're borrowing more, but their *rates* should get higher as they exhaust the best bank offerings.
