John – We’ve got a lot of problems right now, it’s true. But all the solutions are right in front of us.
High gas prices? President Biden or Congress could impose a windfall tax on price-gouging oil companies and even put a temporary federal cap on the price of gas.
Rent spiking by 30%? Congress could pass national rent control and constrain giant property management firms who are buying up single-family homes to turn into an investment portfolio.
Student debt bubble? Biden could forgive it. Every penny. Right now.
Senate won’t budge on voting rights, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, or climate action? Schumer could abolish the filibuster (a made-up Senate “tradition”) and pass everything on a simple majority.
Rogue Supreme Court trampling on our rights? Congress could impeach the justices who lied under oath and abused their power, then expand the court.
Our leaders are not lacking solutions – what they lack is political courage.
Brand New Congress recruits, trains, and supports bold progressive candidates who fight for working families. Right now we are still around $4,000 short of our crucial fundraising goal for the month, and if we miss that it may hurt turnout in some of our elections.
