"Any health care funding plan that is just, equitable, civilized and humane must - must - redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent healthcare is by definition re-distributional."

Jobs report is awful. Politicians' response worse.
Not that hard to figure out. We need the government to hire millions of unemployed people and pay them a very nice wage to rebuild our infrastructure. The money will come from ending corporate welfare and taxing capital gains as we do income derived from labor. Get the hell out of Afghanistan and Iraq and there's plenty of money available. The Progressive Caucus budget has all the details worked out. Not a word is said about this.
We are gonna have to go to Washington with Pitchforks. I am really getting ticked.
