Allocating resources and balancing competing interests by using data-driven approaches and transparent accounting is key, call it democratic socialism or progressive capitalism, create a framework that adapts to changing circumstances and prioritizes both efficiency and equity.

We now have an unprecedented level of income & wealth inequality.

It isn’t acceptable that the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 93%, while a majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

We must stand together & create an economy that works for all, not just the few.

My belief : Every single American—rich or poor—deserves to live in a society where our basic needs are genuinely affordable. Not as charity, not as a privilege, but as the default. There will be two ways to achieve this. I know which route I'm taking.
