FDR’s depression bailout:
Social security
Minimum wage
15 million Government jobs created
Unemployment insurance
Biden’s bailouts:
2 trillion for corporations to buy back their own stock and fluff the stock market
25 billion airline bailout
Insignificant $1200 checks to the masses
Government should be the employer of last resort. Use that tax money to create jobs, not to boost corporate profits.
Those bailouts happened in 2020
Yes. And we cannot forget about 2008 either. Or the Airline Bailout.
Inequities are never out of date. When forgotten, they will be repeated.
Understanding the pattern within the system is more important than recognizing current deficiencies. It’s the pattern that reminds us of the erroneous design. When the structure is **designed** for exploitation of the masses, and to shift wealth into the hands of the few, it is not one that can be corrected. It needs to be replaced.
