New year, same reminder: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

When I heard about the MN healthcare fraud, my first thought was “yes and remember Rick Scott?”
I wish white men who did wrong resulted in the entire white man community being condemned & labeled criminals but minorities will always represent their entire race or ethnicity & white men get pardoned

NOPE! The largest in the US' history was done by Columbia/HCA Healthcare Facilities when Rick Scott was the CEO during that time...$1.7 BILLION! Yes, the same Rick Scott currently in Congress from Florida! Made out like a bandit with millions in separation package; and other financial benefits!

Fraud is a national problem, and cases in Minnesota have been under federal and state investigation for years. So why is it suddenly a national issue?
It's a case study in the power of the right's propaganda machine.

Cubic is the Lyle Lanley of transit fare systems - they’ve sucked everywhere they’ve gone, but govts still shovel $1B at them, because the transit riders must be punished
Imagine if cities announced they were spending $1B on giant curbside gates to prevent parking meter evasion

I'm entirely serious about this: until you internalize the view that urban America is Real America, you won't see the urgency of structural reform of an American government whose fundamental structures so disadvantage its population centers—the great engines of its prosperity, progress, & culture.
Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

A year and a half ago or so, I read that an entire stadium in Tacoma had booed a trans runner. I wanted to know more. She was 16, and she had stood on a podium in one of the country’s most liberal states and listened to 10,000 people boo her. What I learned surprised me:
