Politicians’ agenda/Carlos Pueblo
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
the newly elected congresswoman from
Bronx, NYC,
posts her 4 progressive political agenda, national health-
care for
all, minimum wage to $15 per hour, living justice, and climate
change
concerned, etc. She has drawn very much
attention to the current
U.S.
politics. Everyone asks her how do you pay the costs and she does
prepare to
answer those concern. She says that a wealth nation like us
should be
able to afford the healthcare coverage for all like the Scandinavian
by cutting
the excess budge to the defense on top of what they ask for;
the rich and
the corporations pay their fair share of tax; therefore, in 10 years
we can save
2 trillion. On minimum wage that she points it out of Seattle as
an example.
It is an issue of the profit distribution among parties involved such
as the owner
and employee. I don’t recall that she has time to answer the
homeless
issue and climate change solution.
I adore
politicians with idea and agenda when they enter politics. I believe that
the politician
is a good job to serve and benefit the society. In the U.S., the President
has the
power to lead and decide the order of national preference of expenditure
such as
defense, welfare, education, infrastructure, etc. I have noticed that the
Democrats
are moving to solve the national healthcare issue, i.e. Medicare for
working
citizen, Medicaid for the poor, Chip for children in poverty as a part of
Medicaid, Obama
Care expand the health coverage to some portion of citizen a
Little bit
above the poverty level. I believe that some Democrats newly elected
post some
idea to expand the purchase of Medicare coverage before age 65 as
their
agenda. I believe that one day we can reach to the national healthcare for
all.
About the
minimum wage which I do have some experience. I can’t wait until a
solution from above, the government. I do have a son under
this category, $6.5
an hour in
2007 and $8.0 now as a sale clerk of a supermarket. He has had a
degree of marketing;
however, he just can’t get a better job. We insist that he
stay home
and I pay all the expanse, just add a pair of chopsticks and start saving
immediately.
His total investment savings dividends income is more than half of
his earned
income in 2018. We know the difficult condition of minimum wage and
we must
respond it right away by saving and investment strategy. Let the politicians
to work on their
agenda solution.
I vote for
Democrats all the time because that I feel the political idea in their agenda
that would
make a better nation.
