It may be just a style preference, but I think it's about time they started echoing the 'New Deal' language.
Dunno about that.
1. The information referenced wrt DNC starts with "Republicans are doing X and we oppose what X does".
Why note call the "repeal and replace bills" something like "Cut health care spending as offsets to future tax cuts bills."
Next, say "We Democrats are going to introduce a Medicare for all bill" .
2. Here's some change I can believe in. We're gonna cut the DOD budget and use those savings as a down payment on Medicare for all. Next, steal Trump's border adjustment tax , call it a VAT, and use that $ to offset increased health care spending. Hopefully, that will get all of the shills to STFU about out of control spending.
3. Better jobs: OK, let's take Amazon's fulfillment centers as an example. Call centers also do the shit outlined below.
4. Abolish monitored work. That is to say, no more doing what Amazon does. They can no longer monitor workers by how many orders the fill with those bar code things. Call centers can no longer monitor the number of calls resolved in a certain time period. People are not hens. Hens are culled [fired] when their egg production falls due to age.
5. Allow OSHA to fine the hell out of employers, again Amazon from making folks work in dangerous work conditions like no air conditioning, shoddy stairs, and force them to protect workers from belts and the like.
6. Protect the borders and then after that's fixed work on path to citizenship. All workers' protections/wages depend on the lowest level of workers. No more exploiting folks by threats.
I just just in general think some specific goals and how to meet them is in order here.
