today has been one (1) month since biden became president with majorities in both house and senate. in that time, they have passed one (1) bill into law. that bill? an exception allowing the DoD to have military leadership instead of civilian leadership.

I just find it amusing that what amounts to probably one of the largest economic stimulus actions in history just kind of doesn't get talked about because it says some very unpleasant things about the state of the US economy

We don't even acknowledge that it's stimulus. Warren was just recently talking about student loan forgiveness like it's going to stimulate the economy.

the wise gem bowed her head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad quartzes. you imbecile. you fucking moron"

refusing to do student loan forgiveness is the most actually stupid decision this administration could make like i know the democrats are lazy + greedy and don’t actually care about losing because it means they don’t have to do anything but they barely have to do anything here, no one gets screwed everyone benefits including them. but like with monthly stimulus checks they stubbornly won’t do it because it sets the precedent that the government can actually do any goddamn thing to help you

I mean, FDR style liberalism was inadequate liberal reforms of a profoundly broken system leading to the the current status quo. Biden seems perfectly in line with being an FDR type leader. He doesn't need a wheel chair cuz his brain is broken rather than his body though.
any form of liberalism is inadequate to address the ongoing crises we currently face, as well as the crisss to come. but fdr style liberalism is to the left of clintonite neoliberalism, so i'll take what i can get

democrats are not asking you to joystick a predator drone on to pakistani children or something here, they're asking for your vote in presidential races and midterms. and a phonebank. and a button collection purchase. and a credit card max-out. that's because big challenges require big solutions.

the phrase 'hamiltonion economics,' if uttered by one of these PMC freaks, almost certainly refers to the following book, rather than the musical:

The consulting class didn't flip her because she never needed to be flipped.

This reminds me that the DSA ran a "working class" candidate for NY congress, and then it came out that she had a trust fund.

It was an exception so they could make Lloyd Austin defense secretary despite him not being retired for three years or whatever the requirement is. Mattis got one too. It’s not a great trend to be setting but honestly less troublesome than Austin’s Raytheon employment
