What we need is a "21st Century Full Employment Act for Peace and Prosperity" which would make it a mandatory requirement that the president and Congress attain and maintain full employment.

American exceptionalism

Once again we see “American exceptionalism” being brought forward as Trump and the politicians demand we must put up with scarcity and capitalists looking to make a quick buck from our problems.


We are being told we must put up with scarcity, empty shelves and long lines because these are “unusual and unprecedented times.”


Well, stop and think and consider this:


U.S. imperialism intentionally imposes “unprecedented and unusual times” on people in other countries through all kinds of embargoes, tariffs and sanctions because they dare to challenge Wall Street’s imposed social order.


Think about all of this while you are waiting in line to purchase the Wall Street monopolies’ over-priced bread, eggs and milk now being... yikes! RATIONED?
