Economic Activism and Progressive Living

It is sad when charlatans like Ron Paul want to cut food stamps by 64%. That would kill millions. Good thing he is out of Congress. We can not trust solely in Obama though, he may be working hard but he is not surrounded by progressives; instead he is given financial policy from Wall Street shills like Bernanke and Lew.

If we look back Lew helped in the dismantling of Banking Regulation in the past. Clinton was pressured to abolish traditional welfare with AFDC and replace it with TANF. We have to assume that Obama is just as susceptible to these pressures.

Therefore, we have to make demands and not ones that come out of the mouths of these politicians. What we need is a less humiliating version of AFDC; a form of welfare that never runs out. We also need to stop worrying about the deficit and pay for it with a 1% Wall Street Sales tax which can produce at least ten trillion dollars a year in revenue for the Federal Government.
