AOC Calls for:

Impeachment. That means one of two things: 1) She is so stupid she doesn't realize that she can actually filr articles of impeachment herself; 2) she knows she can, but that would mean working and as a progressive it is more important to call upon others to work while you just mouth stupidities and look ugly.

Lol ok she's not dumb then ..
1. Just attempts to whip everybody into a frenzy
2. Usually not that funny (though occasionally the frenzy provides some laughter)
However, I think you’re almost always sincere so I’ll give a sincere answer. You don’t understand how Congress works. AOC (or any other individual congress critter) can NOT file articles of impeachment in a meaningful way. The speaker controls what gets to the floor for a vote so until Pelosi indicates she’s willing to move forward, AOC (or anybody else) filing articles of impeachment will be just as meaningful as writing “Trump is a poopy-head” on toilet paper and then flushing it.
She is either playing to her constituents (many of whom probably want impeachment) or she’s trying to put pressure on Pelosi. I suspect it is the former. She may very well know that impeaching Trump is a bad idea for D’s as a whole but I suspect she knows her constituents want it. As long as Pelosi is the gatekeeper she can say stuff to whip up her constituents without larger consequences.
I think the only person who would wants impeachment is actually being thoughtful about impeachment has an R after his name (Amash). Congress critters with D’s after their names fall into three camps: 1) they want impeachment but feel it is bad tactic, 2) they want impeachment but know they can’t move on it until Pelosi says go; or 3) they genuinely want to just plain win the election and not impeach.

Money collected in taxes gets spent, it recirculates.
The only exception is when the money gets into the hands of rich people, then it does not recirculate, it gets used for something completely worthless, inflating the stock and real estate markets. It's because of this that we need Keynesian levels of progressive income tax, and maybe a wealth tax too.

I hardly pay any attention to AOC. She's too young to run for president in 2020 and there are too many other talented young politicians out there.
She's only important because the Fox News crowd is obsessed with her and cover every breath she takes, 24/7. The reason is political: by painting AOC as the face of the Democratic party, it's easy to dismiss anything she stands for as silly and irrational.
For example there's a consensus of 97% of the climate scientists that the Earth is warming due to burning fossil fuels. By attaching AOC to climate science, it must be true that the whole topic silly? Right? Or take her ideas about a 70% tax rate for income over $10M. It's not really her idea -- the same idea has been studied at length by famous young economists like Saez and Pikkety (both will probably get a Nobel in economics some day). But attaching a young Latina woman to the idea makes it look silly and irrational.

That would eliminate all these booms and busts, create good jobs, and create business opportunities.
Otherwise that money just gets wasted inflating the stock and real estate markets.
SJG
AOC and the Progressive Wing believe that even more has to be on the table, more like this Green New Deal, to bring out the voters.
SJG
Not clear that it will save the Earth, but at least it will minimize further harm.
It would be a move in the direction of Socialism, though I would say that it still stops a good ways short of actual Socialism.
People use social advantages to gain power over people. Nothing especially American about that.
succesful, self-reliant, you mean making money off of people. Nothing especially admirable about that.
Going to UBI would let more people have paying jobs, and let more people run profitable businesses. To me that is highly American.

So if anything is to happen, it will be in new, more specific legislation. As I know, it is mostly to be about building infrastructure, and doing it as greenly as possible. I say go ahead.
What I would like to see most, besides fixing anything which is broken or in danger of failing, is public transit and a strong public housing offering.
The public housing offering should be high density, focused on car free living, and built on rail public transit. Should also have all standard services on the lower floors. These services can be used by anyone.
Need this high density and car free to lower ecological impact. No way for private sector to broker this.
As I see it, the other associated ideas would be Universal Medicare, Universal Free College, and the biggest one, Universal Basic Income.
If we have this, we have material utopia.
About $1.4T of other services could be canceled. Andy Wang says UBI costs $3T. I say probably more like $8T.
Most of the money is just from re-circulation. But building the public housing towers will cost money, if we want it done rapidly.
But the rich will also be getting UBI. And in most things the rich have it set up that money recirculates until it gets into their hands. Then it goes into inflating the stock and real estate markets. So to get the money back, we have to have tax hikes.
Probably the pre-Reagan 70% top bracket. And maybe a Wealth Tax too. They are talking about 2% per year on asset profiles over $50 Meg.
Even the lesser rich will benefit from this, because it all expands our economy, and it does this as greenly as we know how.
Finally the poor will no longer be used as our scapegoats.
SJG
What do you suggest for the farmers, suburbanites, and rural folks to take care of their needs?
Remember that everyone gets UBI. And they can live anywhere they want, or anywhere they can afford.
Rather than having rent control, which is hard to make work, we'll have this public housing offering, fixed at 1/2 of UBI. The idea is that we will have enough of it to compete landlords down to 1/2 UBI for basic living.
So there is probably less need to do this outside of inflated big cities.
But everyone gets UBI, including farmers, suburbanites, and rural folks. There must may not be that much public housing in those places, not until there is a clear need for it.
SJG
Problem is you only understand what skibum states if you’ve worked long enough to know there’s about a 1/3rd of the population that has given up and is only concerned about what they can get from others instead of what they can contribute. It’s the human dynamic that will never go away, which is why liberalism and socialism always will fail us, suckingvthe system dry.
Skibum, it is people like you who take but contribute very very little.
Taxes are collected, but that does not mean that it is your money. You know what the tax code is when you negotiate wages or fees, you know that you will never have all that money. Grow up.
Poor people are not less moral than rich people. Usually it is the opposite.
And Mexicans are not worse than Americans. It is here that we breed psychopaths and creeps like yourself Skibum.
We don't need the big labor force anymore. You don't pull that social welfare wagon Skibum, you are just like everyone else.
That wagon is pulled by the 8 Clydesdale Team Industrial Technology.
http://wyandottedaily.com/wp-content/upl…
Meat72, that 1/3 of the population has been made into our underclass, the scapegoats of the middle-class family. We don't need the labor, and we don't need money making scams or financial literacy gambits. What we need is political consciousness raising.
With UBI more people will be able to have paying jobs and be able to run profitable businesses, because the economy will have been expanded. And some of this will be for the public housing and public transit construction which AOC wants in the Green New Deal.
But beyond that, UBI takes care of everyone.
Meat72 and Skibum609, you guys live by denigrating the poor. Well someday the poor may rise up and give the two of you the lesson which you deserve.

Circumstances work out different ways for different people, but this does not mean that any of them are bad people, or less deserving of a decent life.
Trying to get more people into the labor force does nothing to benefit our society.
And we need people who will do more than just try to get a cut of cash flow, like you do. We want people who will do things which express themselves, and we want to support this.
And many people grow up in horrendous situations. Tremendous credit to them that they can function at all.

But, she is just as smart and honest as any other politician.
I actually find her to be extremely smart, 2016 major part of the Bernie Sanders campaign. She has already completely changed the terms of debate in DC.
SJG
What has she specifically done that makes you think she is so smart? Her green deal would cost us trillions of $$ and unrealistic, she was a bartender before being a politician, and prior to that she was dancing seductively on you tube.
The only thing I can come up with as to why you “think” she is smart is that she plays an extreme left wing platform. That mouthpiece of hers doesn’t require intelligence, it only requires her to be a SELLOUT!
Why are you so obsessed with AOC?
And speaking of obsessions, why you so hung up on me? I told you I don’t like men, and no homos for me. For the last time I’m only into beautiful women, which you can’t relate to. Sorry your deprived fascist left wing politics have you delusional, like SJG and IceyDodo. Go critique someone’s grammatical writing mistakes on some other board you wanna be college professor.
And I can't help it if you write like fourth grader. Lol
Talk about obsession? I'm in your tagline you fucking moron
Two outta three ain't bad. Plus she's got a rockin set of tits.
My tagline will probably stick for as long as you’re a member, and so far nobody has disagreed with it. Guess the court of public opinion is in my favor! Better luck on another forum Randumbmember....
Many articles like this one in the Boston Globe that detail Warren's rise in law and show that it had nothing to do with her ethnicity. Everyone along the way who interviewed her at Harvard saw her as a white woman. She got there by being hard-working and intelligent:
https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation/…
A few months ago it looked like she has no chance. But in small steps she's gaining traction and she's now polling in the top three. She's being compared to Patrick Moynihan as a technocrat and someone who suggests policy based on hard data. She's smart and well-informed.
No, she's not trying to steal from rich people to buy votes. There's lots of evidence in the academic community that you can tax wealth above $50M without having a large effect on incentives. This doesn't come from AOC, but from hard-core research by some superstar economists. The wealth tax may be hard or impossible to implement -- or may even be unconstitutional. But it's worth talking about.
Another example is Warren's ideas on child care. Subsidies for child care keep mother's employed and, in the long run, produce children who grow up more productive for society.
She has too many ideas to list. Warren's a good woman and I like her. However I'll vote for whoever can demolish Trump.
Point above is that AOC gets 95% of the news cycle and she's not even old enough to run for president. I personally don't think she's smart enough to rise above where she is. But she's from a working class family, she's Latina, and she's a woman which makes her a triple-threat to the right. The right is obsessed with her because white men fear losing their place in a patriarchal society.
But the real question is, is she a stripper grade hottie?
Do they have strip clubs in Puerto Rico?
Meat72 asked, "I’m curios SJG, what about AOC do you find smart about her, other than her extreme left wing politics and so called progressive platform?"
Well that right there is enough. She is able to see right through the fallacy of supply side logic, and the fallacy of middle-class parental logic, and is able to argue these down.
Skibum, those who are getting an income, are not necessarily "contributing" anything more to our society than those who do not have such income. The most serious needs in our society are always going to be the needs of those who have no ability to pay. These for example are always going to be those with the greatest need for a lawyer.
Most paying employment does not contribute anything to our society, nothing commensurate with the resources it uses up, staring with the gasoline and tire rubber used by all those people driving in their cars to work.
We already produce enough of all the goods and services people need, but despite that we still have people living in a state of extreme deprivation, simply because they have not been able to secure one of those good paying jobs.
The US experienced its greatest period of sustained economic growth when the top personal income bracket was 90%. And then the greatest purchasing power for the working man was 1969 'till 1972, when the top bracket was 70%, the level AOC suggests we go back to.
And remember, it was Richard M. Nixon who said, "We are all Keynesian's now."
Needs tested welfare is probably going one step beyond Keynesianism. It has great economic expansion benefits, and most of the needed tax revenue comes from just the re-circulation. And it solves the problems which arise when some people don't have money to spend. But then it makes those welfare recipients into the national scapegoats. Our entire politics comes to revolve around them, when they aren't the ones doing anything wrong.
Non-needs tested Universal Basic Income is probably going two steps beyond Keynesianism, but Keynes himself did suggest it, as did Thomas Paine, and as did Milton Freedman and a panel of his colleagues.
If all the money re-circulated until taxes nibbled it up, the we would not have to raise taxes. But usually rich people have gotten themselves installed in key economic choke points, and then half of the money does go to people above the median income in the first place, so that money the rich get goes into inflating the stock and real estate markets, and that is a complete waste. So we will have to increase taxes on the rich, just to get their UBI benefit, and their UBI re-circulation cut, back from them.
In the early 70's, Control Data Systems, St. Paul Minnesota, did have on site free employee child care.
France has long had Universal Free Child Care. It is not mandatory, but you don't see people complaining about it. Most seem to use it. Its purpose is not to enforce the Work Ethic, its purpose is to benefit the children, and hence their entire society.
As a side note, France does not seem to take ADHD-Asperger's-Autism very seriously, seeing it is more like a stress induced condition, more like battle fatigue.
Needless to say the advocates in the Anglo-American Autism Industry are livid.
In the early 70's, the US Congress did pass Universal Free Child Care, but Nixon vetoed it saying, "It would "Sovietize the American Family".
At the material level UBI pretty much does create utopia. Now of course there are a great many details to work out.
I have not read most of this anywhere, but in my opinion there are 3 other things you must have, and then it pretty much just all works out.
1. Strong public housing offering. Price set at 1/2 UBI. Anyone can live there, but to have enough space, this will cost money to build. Make on public transit rail lines, and all services on the lower floors of the tower clusters. So it is basically assumed that those who live in the public housing will not have automobiles. Not just the poor, anyone who wants to live there, 1/2 UBI. Public housing should be able to make a profit. Have a mix of public and private contractors, competing with each other building it on an on going basis. Expansion in demand for housing at this bottom end might be 2 to 1.
No rent control. Rent control has its own problems. Just use public housing to compete with the private landlords.
2. Universal Medicare, but this time with cost controls. Originally Medicare was to have cost controls, board established fees, but LBJ scraped this to bring the AMA on board.
3. Some kind of Free College. Maybe the Bernie Sanders system, but maybe something more rudimentary. Don't ever want the gov't offering blank checks. This has been the problem with Medicare, and it is the problem with Student Loans. So there have to be cost controls. Maybe at least initially it is simply a program of supervised independent studies, run by the Community Colleges, running online, but with some discussion seminars in community centers in the public housing towers.
Modern life entails too much pressure, and much of this comes down to daily transportation needs. Want people to be pretty much able to do all the things they need, in the public housing clusters. Want to rebuild our cities this way, what they are calling Urban Villages. And the rail transport running underneath is a big part. Try to keep it within an elevator ride and 600' of people's front doors. And many employed people will work locally, or online.
And the services in the lower floors of these towers are available to anyone, not just to the tower residents. And it is all right on the rail public transit lines.

I don't think the Green New Deal includes UBI, but it should set the stage for it. I also think there should be more talk about Transit Villages, that is Public Housing Towers, on the main rail public transit, with all services on the lower floors. Intended to promote car free living, and to prevent rent inflation. Anyone can live there or use the lower floor services. Say cost is fixed at 1/2 of UBI. But build at least some of these before starting UBI. Good jobs in building and operating, long term jobs. Keep building them at a reasonable rate into perpetuity.
