pic. Our economy simply cannnot flourish when 400 people have as much wealth as the bottom 150 million - not in the 1920's; not now.
Econ 101 - Part III of III When 400 people now have more wealth than the bottom 150 million people the economy simply cannot flourish. The 1% took 95% of all new income post Bush economy crash. Only 30% of the tax cuts go back into the economy. We need to use all those tax cuts to “Declare War” on our aging infrastructure and let the Corporations EARN their fair share providing products and more jobs. Those jobs for unemployed Americans will create a demand for products and reduce unemployment compensation, welfare checks and food stamps without adding one cent to the debt.
Robert Reich: We don’t know yet why a Metro-North train derailed yesterday in the Bronx, however... we do know....
We
don’t know yet why a Metro-North train derailed yesterday in the Bronx,
killing four people and injuring more than 60. The driver may have been
at fault. But it’s worth noting that last May, a Metro-North train
derailed in Connecticut after being struck by another train, injuring
73. And a study released last summer by the National Society of Civil
Engineers pointed out the sorry state of the nation’s rail system, where
deferred maintenance and congestion are costing the U.S. economy about
$200 billion a year, or 1.6% of economic output. The rest of the
nation’s transportation infrastructure is not much better: 1 in 9 of the
country's bridges are structurally deficient; our roads are crumbling;
and of the 84,000 dams in the U.S., 14,000 are considered "high hazard.”
While other nations are building transportation systems for the future,
Congress won’t modernize our outmoded one – even though borrowing costs
for the U.S. are near historic lows, the investment would spur growth
and productivity, and millions of jobless Americans could benefit
directly and indirectly from the work that would result.
