What is not being said, what is never said by politicians for fear their paymasters will freak out and give money to someone else., is that the best thing we could do for our economy is go full into climate justice. The investments is super energy efficient, zero carbon housing for the people who are unhoused or who lack adequate safe shelter is one of the things we have to do to create the jobs of the future. Recent studies are pointing out that if the world invests $6Trillion to make the zero carbon transition we save ourselves $36 Trillion on costs from climate disasters and the economic havoc they wreak. Resilience has to start in the most vulnerable places or it does not work well. Period.
The Republicans are in full out lie about the economy and what is needed to create prosperous communities. They are fully committed to climate disasters and economic collapse if it keeps the white supremacists in power. Anyone who took high school physics learns enough to know that climate due to excess carbon burning is no hoax. For Yalies to deny the basic science is to see people in full scale fascist lie mode. Everything they want economically benefits the richest folk and leaves everyone else in big trouble. Their climate strategy is already killing thousands of people in the USA and hundreds of thousands around the world.
The Democrats also refuse to tell the truth about the economy. they know we need to invest in the transitions and resilience, and some of them know that public investment needs to go into the lowest income neighborhoods first to create prosperous communities. And some of them would even admit how much investment is needed. But they are unable to actually articulate such a plan to do it because it is politically unpopular, even if absolutely necessary. But it is politically unpopular as no one has really ever tried in a campaign to really educate the public about the way the economy actually works and how to intervene. The backlash from the moneyed class ties their hands. So one side lies and manipulates media into touting the party line in support of the richest, and the Dems tie their own hands and say nothing.
