Bitcoin like digital gold cannot be devalued & it’s decentralization promotes transnational exchange & provides a check against economic mismanagement. Lets nurture it but protect consumers, prevent abuse, & invest in less carbon intensive mining. That should happen in America. — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, a livable wage for 32 million people is being held up by an archaic procedural rule. We need the Biden administration to overrule the Senate parliamentarian and #RaiseTheWage. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate only needs 50 votes to pass trillions of dollars in tax cuts for corporations, but 60 to pass a $15 minimum wage for 30 million people. How does that make sense? — PolitiTweet.org

@EconDerek With a substantially expanded EITC & CTC perhaps. Not in its current form. And EITC also has some benefit to employers so must be coupled with a min wage increase to go primarily to wage earner. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I have heard people say $15 is too much in some parts of the country. $15 is $600 a week; $2400 month pre tax. Please show me a budget for rent, utilities, food, childcare, healthcare, school supplies and clothes that can make a lesser wage work. — PolitiTweet.org

37% of rural communities lack access to high-speed, broadband Internet service. Without broadband, there is no work-from-home, no telehealth, no virtual schooling, and no applying to jobs. Ending the digital divide is critical to moving our country forward. — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦⁦@NickKristof⁩ is right. MBS is a murderer who has starved and bombed Yemen for 6 years. To not impose sanctions is wrong and reveals a lack of imagination in conflating the Saudi future with the crown prince. We must do better. https://t.co/T6sou1ns0j — PolitiTweet.org

.@genebsperling grounds progressive principles in economic philosophy. He would be a terrific OMB director. @RBReich was one of the best cabinet secretaries of the modern era in his vision for economic equity and being a prophetic voice against the blind spots of globalization. — PolitiTweet.org

Billionaires pay less in taxes as a percentage than everyday Americans. If we close the tax gap and pass a wealth tax, we can make the ultra-rich pay more without raising a dime in taxes for 99% of Americans. https://t.co/CSAvLbOYsw — PolitiTweet.org

The IRS budget was cut by 22% from 2010 to 2018, resulting in a 22% reduction in staff. By properly funding the IRS, we can enforce our existing tax laws, crack down on tax evasion, and make sure everyone pays their fair share. https://t.co/YZziMQuwUn — PolitiTweet.org

To get a min wage increase the Presiding Officer must rule this or any amendment proposing a modest increase in order. We can debate on $15 which I support, but we can’t walk away empty handed which is what happens if the Chair rules that min wage increases require 60 votes. — PolitiTweet.org

@TyM4A @briebriejoy Of course some worker owned companies or top down government agencies can promote innovation but a lot of innovation is also driven by entrepreneurs, small business owners and thinkers who defy conventional orthodoxy including in the academy! — PolitiTweet.org

@briebriejoy @TyM4A The purpose of democratic discourse is not to score points but to search for understanding through the rational exchange of ideas. That’s why I appreciate this conversation. — PolitiTweet.org
