Paying for life-saving treatment should not put you at risk of bankruptcy. Let’s cancel medical debt and pass #MedicareforAll. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Green energy is an important way forward for the environment and the economy; The inflation Reduction Act will create millions of new green jobs. We need to ensure they are good, union jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Women-owned enterprises now account for 42% of all businesses in the US. By investing in women entrepreneurs, we can create jobs and strengthen our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Reshoring jobs will have a ripple effect of economic growth. For every manufacturing job created, another 9 jobs are created in other sectors. Let's invest in American workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Economic justice isn’t just about whether the people who do get relief deserve it. It’s about who is being ignored. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

In the richest country in the world, we can afford to help working people facing economic hardships in their lives with the same urgency as we rush to aid the victims of bank runs. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

I also believe that the people of East Palestine and Jackson, Mississippi deserve the same sense of urgency as depositors at SVB. Elected officials and the media need to step up not only in delivering tangible relief, but also recognizing human suffering that isn’t on the coasts. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

And @ewarren is right that we must reform deposit insurance to ensure that in times of crisis businesses can still make payroll. The money for this should come from the banks that are taking the risk and reaping the benefits in good times. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

.@LeverNews has reported on the successful efforts of bank lobbyists to avoid paying more into the Deposit Insurance Fund. This is shameful. Banks must pay higher premiums to fund depositors’ insurance. This will incentivize more responsible management and less risky behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

SVB chief executive Greg Becker sold $3.6 million worth of shares on February 27th. I have said that there should be a clawback of that money. Whatever his motives, and we should find out, that $3.6 million should go to depositors. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Shareholders and executives at banks like SVB should not benefit from either taxpayer dollars or the help of the FDIC to secure buyers without being compelled to submit to regulations that amount to more than a slap on the wrist. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Medium-sized banks like SVB managed to avoid stress tests/liquidity and capital requirements that could have prevented this predictable disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

The run on SVB is a reminder of the need to impose strong financial regulations on banks. The Republican Party succeeded in passing the bill eviscerating Dodd-Frank against the warnings of progressives like myself and @BernieSanders. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

A thread on some of my takeaways from the SVB collapse. SVB is in my district, but I did not hesitate to tell them no when they lobbied hard for Donald Trump's bill to weaken Dodd-Frank. I voted against the bill. Too many Dems voted yes. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Congress needs to pass the PRO Act to give workers like those at Starbucks more power to strike and bargain in good faith. When unions are strong, workers are strong. — PolitiTweet.org

We need to make the federal minimum wage a living wage. — PolitiTweet.org

DOL is reporting a 69 percent increase in child labor law violations. There is no reason that companies should be employing CHILDREN to work dangerous manufacturing and construction jobs in the 21st century. — PolitiTweet.org

More than 70% of mothers in the US are in the labor force. By investing in paid parental leave and affordable child care, we can improve outcomes for families and our economy. — PolitiTweet.org
