Marc Lasry, Avenue Capital Chairman & CEO, clarified that VP Kamala Harris’ economic plan is much better than Trump’s inflationary deficit exploding plan. Wall Street for Kamala?
Wall Street reminds me that the Trump-appointed economist who heads the Congressional Budget Office spent his prior career on the Street. On his watch, the CBO conducted a 200-page analysis of single-payer public payment systems, aka universal healthcare / Medicare for All, with extremely positive findings. Two years later the CBO doubled down with a 50-page look at broader economic impacts, again very positive: https://medium.com/@idember/pigs-fly-cbo-admits-medicare-for-all-will-aid-people-businesses-economy-e32d72ce59a2 .
One more thing: New Jersey governor Phil Murphy also came from a Wall Street career. He campaigned on a platform that spotlighted (you guessed it) Medicare for All.
Egberto, you write: "The real challenge for progressives will be ensuring that once Harris is in office, they do not allow Wall Street influence to steer her away from the progressive values she champions." Harris has betrayed progressives (and all Americans, and all humanity) in a half dozen major ways, from Gaza genocide to Medicare for All. Beyond Mom and apple pie and (importantly) abortion rights, which "values" is she "championing"?
