You know how the world’s most oppressive societies always manage to get the word “Democratic” into their country names, like the German Democratic Republic or the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea?
I thought of that while reading this headline… “Biden and Yellen… pursuing $1.9 trillion plan for full employment.”
I’m not sure I see how writing people checks to not work (or if we’re being generous, paying them for a period of time in the past when they could not work) and raising the minimum wage to obliterate jobs pushes us towards “full employment”, but then I’ve always had trouble thinking like a politician.
