Looks like the time is ripe for a really large basic income for every household.
In the cheap fun category: Trump posted this morning that he had raised $8 trillion, or $65,000 per household, from import taxes (tariffs) so far this year. Every Republican in Congress can be asked if they agree with Trump's numbers.

Unions hold greedy oligarchs & corrupt politicians accountable which is why @realDonaldTrump is rushing to dismantle them by illegally taking away the collective bargaining rights of 1 million federal workers. Tune in Labor Day @WBAI @LizShuler

NEW PIECE: I'm back, finally, and its a long one. Superficially this moment is a vindication for Central Bank Independence but at a deeper level, cutting the Fed off from its independent agency brethren is its death warrant.

But YOU @SenBillCassidy voted for the #biguglybill that is going to make everything worse. Why are you now complaining?
National Debt is now $37 TRILLION. This level of spending is DANGEROUSLY unsustainable, and it’s fueling the high interest rates that make it harder for families to buy a house or afford a car. The American Dream is being crushed by the debt.

Standard level of math from someone associated with the Heritage Foundation. Would be funny if it were not so prevalent in Trumpland.
Trump surrogate attacking government statistics by failing to add correctly is almost too perfect (16% + 30% ≠ “2 out of 3”)

Hey, Cambridge sent over the cover of my forthcoming book! They let me pick the cover and then they inserted the title and author. I liked the down arrow, scary stuff!
