  • Obama's first proposal was for a single-payer system. That proposal lost by effectively 1 vote.

    Have you not noticed that this happens every time? They always manage to find that one vote to prevent anything truly progressive from happening. If we need 60 votes to make something change for the better in this country, there will be 59 yay votes, with 2 people voting "present."

  • It's like that everywhere. Maybe from 2022 to 2023 it didn't go up, but it's still very high. The price of everything needs to go down. Claiming that inflation is low because it hasn't gone up much more is disingenuous. It's already high. People are struggling because the price of food, rent, houses, etc have doubled. We need an inflation rate of negative double digits or life is just going to continue to get even harder for everyone.

  • Grocery prices where I live in the US have more than doubled. If the prices didn't double, then they probably shrunk the portions of food and the size of the packaging. So how do we more than double prices and call that 3% inflation? Housing prices around here have also doubled since the start of COVID.
