If oil companies didn’t lie to the public about climate change and instead diversified since the 1970s, we would have much more stable prices right now. — PolitiTweet.org

1975. That's the last year the United States had a trade surplus. We need to bring production and good paying jobs back to America. Let’s make the next generation of things in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Want to understand what happened to the middle class? Just take a look at the CEO to worker pay ratio over time. 💵 1965 - 21:1 💵 1989 - 61:1 💵 2019 - 307:1 💵 2020 - 351:1 It's time for the rich to pay their fair share. It's time for working Americans to get a raise. — PolitiTweet.org

The thing that will truly bring energy price stability in the long term is diversification of our energy sources. We need historic, massive investments in renewable energy for the long run. — PolitiTweet.org

If many Dartmouth students can have tuition free college and still have “skin in the game” and be responsible, then can’t we have free public college and student loan forgiveness for students who may go to schools without such large endowments? https://t.co/qjLncxeypH — PolitiTweet.org

Of the 300 public companies with the LOWEST median wages, 40% received federal contracts. Taxpayers should not be giving $37.2 billion to massive corporations for them to underpay their workers. — PolitiTweet.org

If Biden can suspend student loan interest payments, he can forgive the principal. If he can cancel student debt for some, then he can cancel it for all those in need. — PolitiTweet.org

We can't talk about high gas prices without talking about the fact Big Oil is raking in historically high profits. — PolitiTweet.org

If you think there should be a counterweight to unchecked corporate power, then you should be for unions. — PolitiTweet.org

Gas prices are high. Food costs are high. Rent is high. The American people need a raise. It’s time for a living wage. — PolitiTweet.org

The new proposed defense budget gives $45 billion more than the President requested. That's $847 billion. We can afford Medicare for All. We can afford free public college. We can afford universal pre-k and childcare. It's a matter of priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

We need a windfall profits tax. — PolitiTweet.org

As an Indian American, I appreciate @Victoria4VA energy and coalition building for the future. I saw her at @IA_Impact and am glad to see the next generation getting politically engaged. — PolitiTweet.org

.⁦@FareedZakaria⁩ is right. We must stand for Ukraine’s sovereignty & territory—having secured a historic victory in preventing Russia from taking over—while pushing for a negotiated settlement to end the war. Lives & our economy depend on it. https://t.co/2nQ0DdR0pe — PolitiTweet.org

.@krystalbal was phenomenal in pointing out that the Fed buying corporate bonds and mortgage backed securities, fueling the asset bubble and supporting the very wealthy, was a big part of inflation. Needed economic explanation! — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

FDR rejected any “immutable economic law” where economists preached that things were beyond elected leaders control and “to sit back & do nothing.” Instead he opted for bold, imaginative, enthusiastic action. That is what we need now to confront inflation & any looming slowdown. — PolitiTweet.org

In the 1950s @PikettyLeMonde shows, 80% of American youth went to high school compared to 20% in UK, 30% in France & 40% in Germany. Our investment in education made us the preeminent economy. Why then is there so much opposition to free college, vocational school, & pre-K today? — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Workers from Europe came to the US in the 1900s for a better life as they weren’t part of colonial/inherited wealth. Until 1970, the middle class did better in the US than Europe as @PikettyLeMonde shows! But that changed since decline in unions, min wage, & progressive taxes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@PikettyLeMonde shows in the US the poorest 50% have less than 2% of wealth and the top 10% have 72%. This is much worse than Europe, especially since 1985 when the middle class in the US has lost nearly 25 percent of its wealth. — PolitiTweet.org

@HalPlotkin Free public college. Forgive loans for those working and middle class. Don’t forgive people like me -I was fortunate to pay back. Increase pell grants, work study, and loans for living expenses. Pay by taxing the ultra rich in my district & a Wall Street transaction tax. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor York also shared that the Chrysler transmission plant in Kokomo, IN is temporarily shutting down because we are dependent on getting bolts and gaskets from China. It’s time to bring production back to America. This shouldn’t be a partisan issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Spoke to New Castle, IN Mayor Greg York who said fully assembled pickup trucks are filling up parking lots, losing value, waiting for a chip before being sold. It is MALPRACTICE that Congress still hasn’t sent the Chips Act to @POTUS desk to increase chip production in America! — PolitiTweet.org
