    But working-class people require living wages and a functioning safety net, not condescending lectures about money management....

  12. A quotation from Horace

    There was a stag, once, who could always defeat a stallion
    And drive him out of their pasture — until, tired of losing,
    The horse begged help of man, and got a bridle in return.
    He beat the stag, all right, and he laughed — but then the rider
    Stayed on his back, and the bit stayed in his mouth.
    Give up your freedom, more worried about poverty than something
    Greater than any sum of gold, and become a slave and stay
    A slave forever, unable to live on only enough.
     
    [Cervus equum pugna melior communibus herbis
    pellebat, donec minor in certamine longo
    imploravit opes hominis frenumque recepit;
    sed postquam victor violins discessit ab hoste,
    non equitem dorso, non frenum depulit ore.
    Sic qui pauperiem veritus potiore metallis
    libertate caret, dominum vehet improbus atque
    serviet aeternum, quia parvo nesciet uti.]

    Horace (65-8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
    Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 10 “To Aristius Fuscus,” l. 34ff (1.10.34-41) (20 BC) [tr. Raffel (1983)]

  18. A quotation from Frederick Douglass

    The American people have this lesson to learn: That where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob, and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe.

    Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) American abolitionist, orator, writer
    Speech (1886-04-16), “Strong to Suffer, and Yet Strong to Strive,” Israel Bethel Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, Washington, D.C.

  23. "Interest payments in the US are on a path to consume 30% of the federal government’s revenue by 2035, compared with 9% in 2021. But most important, this will also feed through to the interest charged on all borrowing by companies and household mortgages. If businesses can’t get access to credit, that can halt investment and lead to job losses over time. First-time buyers and those wishing to move home could also face higher costs"
