\u201cThe expansion of Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision is supported by 84% of the public and is one of the most important provisions in Build Back Better. It's what the American people want and, after waiting over 50 years, what they are going to get.\u201d— Bernie Sanders (@Bernie Sanders) 1635038451
"It is inconceivable and unconscionable to me that there is any risk for a paid leave being on the chopping block... The fact that something this administration has run on and Congress has championed would not be a priority to me is unbelievable."
"It is inconceivable and unconscionable to me that there is any risk for a paid leave being on the chopping block, considering the ongoing pandemic, the women's jobs crisis, the care tsunami, the birth rate issues--all of the combined and overlapping crises deepening racial and gender inequality," Dawn Huckelbridge, director of Paid Leave for All, told Politico. "The fact that something this administration has run on and Congress has championed would not be a priority to me is unbelievable."
"I want to know whether [Biden] is putting his weight behind [paid leave] when he's behind closed doors with Sen. Manchin and others that he's negotiating with," Vicki Shabo, a senior fellow at the think tank New America, told Politico.
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
