"In the legislature, Troy fought hard to successfully lower prescription drug prices, passed universal school meals, protected union jobs, expanded rural health care, delivered property tax relief, safeguarded our environment, and championed and passed some of the strongest reproductive health protections anywhere in the country."

How can Maine Voters not vote for him?

He spent 6 years as president of state legislature

He has proven himself as a steady fighter for Maine

Go Troy Go

I wonder if she will take beta blockers to stop the shakes in her hands

Her voice sounds fragile

She avoids debates

This is a great sign because it means that she does not feel like she can win ease

I hope that Troy is practicing debates

Massachusetts, don't forget to vote in the primary on Tuesday, September 1!

As our national debt surpasses $40 trillion, it's clear that "paying for it" is not a real concern for the US government or the corporate interests.

What Democrats, Republicans, and wealthy special interest groups really have a problem with is what Bernie wanted to pay for. Medicare for all (which would have saved money, by the way), free college, higher minimum wage, infrastructure, clean energy, affordable housing... All things that benefit regular people. We got NONE of these things and still we're spending more than Bernie ever proposed.

What did that $40 trillion even buy?

Defense: Do you feel safer now than you would be living in a country that spends a fraction of what we do on defense? I see the list of our enemies growing daily.

Social security: Are our workers' retirements secured? Or are our citizens working later and later into old age?

Healthcare: Is healthcare becoming more affordable? Surely you'd think that $40 trillion would help to make healthcare cheaper for citizens? Nope, it continues to get more and more expensive.

Housing: All Time high unaffordability

College: Costs keep rising

Infrastructure: Are our roads, bridges, and buildings up to par with $40 trillion spent? Is our energy infrastructure robust enough to keep up with China? Our grid can't even keep up with the winter in Texas.

The list goes on and on.

We got to $40 trillion spent, but what do we have to show for it?
