Folks – The new Gross Domestic Product report is out, and if you’re watching cable news tonight you’re probably hearing about how GREAT the economy is doing.

 

Biden himself is bragging on the numbers. Take a look:

A screenshot of a tweet by the official POTUS account sent a few hours ago which reads: “Today we learned that our economy grew 3.1% last year – all while adding another 2.7 million jobs and with core inflation moving back down towards the pre-pandemic benchmark. That means wages, wealth, and employment are now higher now than they were before the pandemic.”

Let’s cut to the chase: Whose wealth is growing?

 

Gross domestic product is a measure of how much wealth American workers are generating with our labor. It is not a measure of how well individual American workers are doing – and it never has been.

 

Nearly ALL of the economic gains of the last 60 years have gone to the richest of the richest rich Americans. While you and I are getting hit with skyrocketing grocery prices, unaffordable rents, and premiums that are so expensive we can’t afford to use our health insurance, Elon Musk is dropping $44 billion to become king of the shitposters.

 

This is what a rigged economy looks like, and it’s what we get as long as we keep putting politicians in office who answer to dark money donors instead of working people.

 

I’ve never taken a dime of corporate PAC money, and I never will. If you’re ready to put a truly unbought, unbossed, labor rabble-rouser into Congress, then pitch in to our grassroots-funded campaign today.

I am a lifelong activist and organizer, a former public school teacher and union leader. My opponent in this race is a former lobbyist who slid into Congress over two decades ago and quickly made himself at home with K-Street.

 

Next year, I want to see an economic report that talks about wage equity, labor strength, and people making enough money on ONE job to live – not scraping together income across 4 side hustles just to barely make rent.

 

Today’s economic news WAS good. It was very good.

 

The question is...for who?

 

That’s the question we’re going to answer in November when we take this workers’ revolution right to Congress with the Green Party.

 

In solidarity,

 

Jason
