Biden reacts to the GOP's proposal to gut social security

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 21, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

MAR 22, 2024

In the past few weeks, Josh Kovensky of Talking Points Memo has deepened our understanding of the right-wing attempt to impose Christian nationalism on the United States through support for Trump and the MAGA movement. On March 9, Kovensky explored the secret, men-only, right-wing society called the Society for American Civic Renewal (SACR), whose well-positioned, wealthy, white leaders call for instituting white male domination and their version of Christianity in the U.S. after a “regime” change.

On March 19, Kovensky explained how that power was reaching into lawmaking when he reported on a September 2023 speech by Russ Vought, a key architect of the plans for Trump’s second term, including Project 2025. In the speech, which took place in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Vought explained the right wing’s extreme border policies by explicitly marrying Christian nationalism and an aversion to the pluralism that is a hallmark of American democracy. Vought argued that the U.S. should model immigration on the Bible’s Old Testament, welcoming migrants only “so long as they accepted Israel’s God, laws, and understanding of history.”

These religious appeals against the equality of women and minorities seem an odd juxtaposition to a statement by United Auto Workers (UAW) union president Shawn Fain in response to the claim of the Trump campaign that Trump’s “bloodbath” statement of last Saturday was about the auto industry. Fain is also a self-described Christian, but he rejects the right-wing movement.

“Donald Trump can’t run from the facts,” Fain said in a statement to CBS News. “He can do all the name-calling he wants, but the truth is he is a con man who has been directly part of the problem we have seen over the past 40 years—where working class people have gone backward and billionaires like Donald Trump reap all the benefits….

“Trump has been a player in the class war against the working class for decades, whether screwing workers and small businesses in his dealings, exploiting workers at his Mar a Lago estate and properties, blaming workers for the Great Recession, or giving tax breaks to the rich. The bottom line is Trump only represents the billionaire class and he doesn’t give a damn about the plight of working class people, union or not.”

In the 1850s the United States saw a similar juxtaposition, with elite southern enslavers heightening their insistence that enslavement was sanctioned by God and their warnings that the freedom of Black Americans posed an existential threat to the United States just as white workers were beginning to turn against the system that had concentrated great wealth among a very few men. While white southern leaders were upset by the extraordinary popularity of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the 1852 novel that urged middle-class women to stand up against slavery, it was Hinton Rowan Helper’s 1857 The Impending Crisis of the South: How to Meet It that made them apoplectic.

Hinton Helper was a white southerner himself and showed no abolitionist sympathies in his deeply racist book. What that book did was to show, using the statistics that had recently been made available from the 1850 census, that the American South was falling rapidly behind the North economically. Helper blamed the system of slavery for that economic backwardness, and he urged ordinary white men to overthrow the system of enslavement that served only a few wealthy white men. The cotton boom of the 1850s had created enormous fortunes for a few lucky planters, as well as a market for Helper’s book among poorer white men who had been forced off their land.

White southern elites considered Helper’s book so incendiary that state legislatures made it illegal to possess a copy, people were imprisoned and three allegedly hanged for being found with the book, and a fight over it consumed Congress for two months from December 1859 through January 1860. The determination of southern elites to preserve their power made them redouble their efforts to appeal to voters through religion and racism.

In today’s America, the right wing seems to be echoing its antebellum predecessors. It is attacking women’s rights; diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; immigration; LGBTQ+ rights and so on. At the same time, it continues to push an economic system that has moved as much as $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 10% since 1981 while exploding the annual budget deficit and the national debt.

Yesterday the far-right Republican Study Committee (RSC), which includes about two thirds of all House Republicans, released a 2025 budget plan to stand against Biden’s 2025 budget wish list. The RSC plan calls for dramatic cuts to business regulation, Social Security, Medicaid, and so on, and dismisses Biden’s plan for higher taxes on the wealthy, calling instead for more than $5 trillion in tax cuts. It calls the provision of the Inflation Reduction Act that permits the government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies over prices “socialist price controls.”

Biden responded to the RSC budget, saying: “My budget represents a different future. One where the days of trickle-down economics are over and the wealthy and biggest corporations no longer get all the breaks. A future where we restore the right to choose and protect other freedoms, not take them away. A future where the middle class finally has a fair shot, and we protect Social Security so the working people who built this country can retire with dignity. I see a future for all Americans and I will never stop fighting for that future.”

Biden’s version of America has built a strong economy in the last two years, with extremely low unemployment, extraordinary growth, and real wage increases for all but the top 20%. Inequality has decreased. Today the White House announced the cancellation of nearly $6 billion in federal student loan debt for thousands of teachers, firefighters, and nurses. Simply by enforcing laws already on the books that allow debt forgiveness for borrowers who go into public service, the administration has erased nearly $144 billion of debt for about 4 million borrowers.

At the same time, the administration has reined in corporations. Today the Department of Justice, along with 15 states and the District of Columbia, sued Apple, Inc., for violating the 1890 Sherman Antitrust Act. They charge that the company, which in 2023 had net revenues of $383 billion and a net income of $97 billion, has illegally established a monopoly over the smartphone market to extract as much revenue as possible from consumers. The company’s behavior also hurts developers, the Department of Justice says, because they cannot compete under the rules that Apple has set.

At the end of February, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued to block the merger of Kroger and Albertsons, a $24.6 billion takeover affecting 5,000 supermarkets and 700,000 workers across 48 states. The merger would raise grocery prices, narrow consumer choice, and hurt workers’ bargaining power, the FTC said. The attorneys general of Arizona, California, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Wyoming joined the FTC’s lawsuit.

The benefits of the administration’s reworking of the government for ordinary Americans have not gotten traction in the past few years, as right-wing media have continued to insist that Biden’s policies will destroy the economy. But as Shawn Fain’s position suggests, ordinary white men, who fueled the Reagan Revolution in 1980 when they turned against the Democrats and who have made up a key part of the Republican base, might be paying attention.

In June 2023 the AFL-CIO, a union with more than 12.5 million members, endorsed Biden for president in 2024 in its earliest endorsement ever. In January the UAW also endorsed Biden. Yesterday the United Steelworkers Union, which represents 850,000 workers in metals, mining, rubber, and other industries, added their endorsement.

Just as it was in the 1850s, the right-wing emphasis on religion and opposition to a modern multicultural America today is deeply entwined with preserving an economic power structure that has benefited a small minority. That emphasis is growing stronger in the face of the administration’s effort to restore a level economic playing field. In the 1850s, those who opposed the domination of elite enslavers could only promise voters a better future. But in 2024, the success of Biden’s policies may be changing the game.

Valhalla (Sweetgrass Productions 2013)

SkiStar Movies Rating: 4.4/5 Stars

Eric Hjorleifson, Cody Barnhill, Carston Oliver, Zack Giffin, Pep Fujas, Kye Petersen, Molly Baker, Karl Fostvedt, Adraon Buck, Johann Olofsson, Ryland Bell, Josh Dirksen, Aidan Sheahan, Forrest Shearer, Stephan Drake, Eliel Hindert, Thayne Rich, Will Cardamone, Jaime Laidlaw, Trevor Hunt, Donny Roth, Jesse Hoffman, Austin Ross, Nick McNutt, Paul Kimbrough, Kazushi Yamauchi, Keely Kelleher, Ralph Backstrom, Piers Solomon, Johan Jonsson, Alex Yoder, Sander Hadley

Directed by Ben Sturgulewski, Nick Waggoner

Nothing less than a soul-skiing hippy’s wet dream, Valhalla is the ultimate ski-bum movie. Practically unheard of in ski films, Valhalla actually has a plot, or at least the sketches of one as Cody Barnhill plays “Conrad”, a questing ski-bum (and there’s nothing pejorative in that term, it’s a badge of honor so don’t send me emails complaining) who finds a tribe of like-minded snow chasers camped out in the mountains. He settles in, enjoys the winter, finds himself, finds a girl and finds the next stage of his life, his legacy.

In addition to adding a plot to the expected slate of action shots, directors Nick Waggoner and Ben Sturgulewski also chose not to add the usual ski movie titling to name their riders as they whip down the mountain faces. That anonymity aids in perpetuating the element of freedom that Valhalla pushes and it’s a pattern seen in Sweetgrass’ other films. The skiers become an “everyman” and that offers the illusion that that could be you even though there’s a 99% chance that you can’t ski like Pep Fujas or Eric Hjorleifson.

And therein lies a good part of Valhalla’s difference from the usual output of ski movies this year. It’s an attempt to capture the “religion” of riding, the soul of skiing as opposed to a sports broadcast-like outing chronicling the number of spins now required to be considered an elite pro rider. In that respect and in respect of the directors’ ability to nail the action footage, Valhalla is a welcome entry to the ski movie market and enough of a good thing that the jury at the Powder Video Awards deemed it 2013’s Movie of the Year.

The other difference on offer with Valhalla is the unadulterated late-1960s feeling throughout. You almost expect Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper to emerge from the woods and burn a fat one with the skiers. Sierra Quitiquit’s character barely says a word but she doesn’t need to in putting across that solid Peggy Lipton/Mod Squad/Woodstock Festival audience member vibe. Waggoner and Sturgulewski’s writing, as delivered in the narration, is sufficiently mystical so as to qualify as Topanga Canyon metaphysics but it never descends to embarrassing air-head hippy poetry.

So, OK, “Movie of the Year”? I’m not going to argue. Fresh in perspective and delivery, with Grade A back-country footage, Valhalla delivers what cannot often be put in words: that feeling of the mountains as the snow falls in the quiet amongst the trees and the freedom to glide through it all. The soundtrack is on-point and it even manages to work in an obligatory Alaskan shred-fest sequence. Great ski movie in a year of great ski movies. By Mark “The Attorney General” Quail

Have you ever asked what is the root of all money? – Ayn Rand • Some people may complicate it for you, but the formula is simple: Love God more than anything else. More than your ego. More than your money. More than your desires…More than your sleep at dawn. Love God more than anything else, and submission comes natural. Love God more than anything else, and all goodness will follow. – Yasmin Mogahed • Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money. – Johnny Cash • Successful people make money.

This is a cruel libel, even if it is reiterated thoughtlessly by the Americans themselves. – Albert Einstein • Too many people spend money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t want to impress people they don’t like. – Will Rogers • War has been good to me from a financial standpoint but I don’t want to make money that way. I don’t want blood money. – Ted Turner

• We all need money, but there are degrees of desperation. – Anthony Burgess • We ought to change the legend on our money from “In God We Trust” to “In Money We Trust.” Because, as a nation, we’ve got far more faith in money these days than we do in God. – Art Hoppe • We teach children to save their money. As an attempt to counteract thoughtless and selfish expenditure, that has value. But it is not positive; it does not lead the child into the safe and useful avenues of self-expression or self-expenditure. To teach a child to invest and use is better than to teach him to save. – Henry Ford • We’ve got to put a lot of money into changing behavior. – Bill Gates • What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us. – Julia Cameron • What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do. – Bob Dylan • What’s worth doing is worth doing for money. – Michael Douglas • When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous. – Wayne Dyer • When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is. – Oscar Wilde • When it comes to money, you can’t win. If you focus on making it, you’re materialistic. If you try to but don’t make any, you’re a loser. If you make a lot and keep it, you’re a miser. If you make it and spend it, you’re a spendthrift. If you don’t care about making it, you’re unambitious. If you make a lot and still have it when you die, you’re a fool-for trying to take it with you. The only way to really win with money is to hold it loosely-and be generous with it to accomplish things of value. – John C. Maxwell • When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion. – Voltaire • When men are so busy making money that they have no time for anything else, then the day is not far off when they will have no money for anything else. – William J. H. Boetcker • Whoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. – James A. Garfield • Whoever said money can’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop – Gertrude Stein • Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping. – Bo Derek • Why is there so much month left at the end of the money? – John Barrymore • You aren’t wealthy until you have something money can’t buy. – Garth Brooks • You can be young without money but you can’t be old without it. – Tennessee Williams • You can make money two ways – make more, or spend less. – John Hope Bryant • You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity. – Thomas Wolfe • You must gain control over your money or the lack of it will forever control you. – Dave Ramsey

Pro14: Leinster v Ospreys (Fri)

Johnny Kotze has played Currie Cup rugby for Blue Bulls

Guinness Pro14: Leinster v Ospreys Venue: RDS Arena, Dublin Date: Friday, 22 November Kick-off: 19:35 BST Coverage: Updates on BBC Radio Wales, the BBC Sport website and app

Versatile back Johnny Kotze will make his Ospreys debut in Friday’s Pro14 game away to Leinster.

South African Kotze joined from Super Rugby side Bulls on a three-month loan in October and starts at inside centre at the RDS Arena.

Fly-half Sam Davies will make his 100th appearance for the region.

Flanker Scott Penny will make his Leinster debut while full back Hugo Keenan makes his first start.

Jimmy O’Brien and Jack Kelly could also make their debuts off the bench for Leinster.

Ospreys are without Adam Beard, Aled Davies, Alun Wyn Jones, George North, Nicky Smith, Justin Tipuric and Owen Watkin, who are on Wales duty.

“This is another big challenge for us. Leinster away is one of the toughest fixtures in European rugby, regardless of the time of year or the team selected,” Ospreys head coach Allen Clarke said.

“As always, our focus is on our own game, our mindset and our actions. We’ve had an excellent training week but ultimately we’ll be judged by the 80 minutes tomorrow night.”

Democratic strategist launches new firm

https://uniteddemocrats.net/?p=7025

Democratic strategist launches new firm

With David Beavers, Garrett Ross and Daniel Lippman

FIRST IN PI — DEMOCRATIC STRATEGIST LAUNCHES NEW FIRM: Brandon Neal, who was political director for the Democratic National Committee and director of the Transportation Department’s small business office under former President Barack Obama, will launch his own fundraising, political strategy and lobbying firm Tuesday. Neal was most recently a senior adviser and national political director for Rep. Karen Bass (D-Calif.).

Story Continued Below

— In an interview with PI, Neal said that the firm, Pylorus Strategies, will focus on political strategy and planning for candidates running for Congress. “Now is the time, now is the space and opportunity,” he told PI. “You don’t see a lot of African-American firms focused on political fundraising and strategy.” Neal plans to work with various arms of the Democratic Party, as well as with celebrities interested in getting involved in the political process. He will also assist small businesses competing for federal contracts and work on transportation, infrastructure, labor workforce development, and small business and economic development issues for clients. He plans to register as a lobbyist.

— So far, Neal’s clients include two members of Congress, an IT firm and a small business providing professional services to the DoD. He is also in talks to work on political strategy and fundraising for House candidates Antonio Delgado, who is running to represent New York’s 19th congressional district, Lauren Underwood, who is running to represent Illinois’ 14th congressional district, and Mary Scanlon, who is running to represent Pennsylvania’s 5th congressional district. He plans to eventually make the firm bipartisan and bring on a partner with experience fundraising for Republicans.

Good afternoon, and welcome to PI. Did you spend the weekend relaxing on the Eastern Shore with a cold drink and a good book? Just remember there are younger, better-looking lobbyists who work weekends nipping at your heels. Send us your tips: [email protected] and [email protected]. You can also follow us on Twitter: @theodoricmeyer and @marianne_levine.

THE LATEST ON MANAFORT’S TRIAL: Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team filed a motion this morning pushing back against a request from Paul Manafort’s lawyers to exclude more than 50 pieces of evidence from the jury during Manafort’s trial, which is set to start on Tuesday. Mueller’s team argues the exhibits are necessary “to prove the source and amount of Manafort’s income.” (Manafort is facing trial on bank fraud and tax charges in federal court in Alexandria. He’s set to go on trial a second time in federal court in Washington in September on other charges, including violating foreign lobbying law.)

— The motion filed this morning provides a good summary of what Mueller’s seeking to do in the trial. Mueller “expects to prove that Manafort earned more than $60 million dollars from his Ukraine work during the period at issue and failed to report a significant percentage of it on his tax returns. … No ‘pay stub[s]’ or ‘paychecks’ reflect that income … rather, the invoices and bills submitted by various consultants provide proof on that issue. Accordingly, to prove that Manafort earned that much income, the government must be able to show the extent of the work that he performed for Ukraine.”

— Separately, Mueller’s team on Friday afternoon “submitted a roster of 35 witnesses the prosecution may call” during the trial set to start on Tuesday, POLITICO’s Josh Gerstein reports. “The deep dive into Manafort’s pricey tastes is expected to include testimony from a proprietor of a New York boutique where he allegedly spent more than $850,000 on high-end suits, an employee of a car dealership where Manafort’s wife bought a $130,000 Mercedes, the owner of a Florida home-theater company and a manager of season-ticket sales for the New York Yankees.” Full story.

SPEAKING OF MANAFORT: The New York Times’ Jason Horowitz is out with a story on how former journalist Alan Friedman put Manafortin jail. “Documents filed last month by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, as part of the investigation into Russia’s influence campaign in the 2016 American presidential election, showed that Mr. Friedman worked closely with Mr. Manafort in creating the so-called Hapsburg Group,” Horowitz writes. “Neither Mr. Manafort nor Mr. Friedman registered as lobbyists, a potential violation of an American law intended as a bulwark against foreign agents peddling influence in American politics. … When the group was revealed in February, Mr. Manafort desperately sought to give Mr. Friedman a ��heads up about Hapsburg,’ Mr. Friedman’s lawyer has said. That included messages on WhatsApp saying ‘This is Paul.’ Mr. Friedman told investigators that he considered the messages an effort to ‘suborn perjury.’ A judge agreed and in June revoked Mr. Manafort’s bail for witness tampering.

—“Now Mr. Friedman, 62, has gone uncharacteristically silent on the issue even as he travels around Italy promoting his book, ‘This Is Not America,’ which begins with his 2016 interview with Donald J. Trump, then a presidential candidate. Mr. Manafort and his associate Rick Gates had a hand in arranging the interview, which was outside the usual media channels and led campaign aides to question its purpose, according to a person familiar with the issue who was granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.” Full story.

LAW FIRMS GIVE RAINMAKERS ACCUSED OF BAD BEHAVIOR MULTIPLE CHANCES: “Law firms stand out in a corporate landscape where rainmakers accused of bad behavior often receive second and third chances, according to interviews with dozens of lawyers, legal recruiters, consultants and leaders at some of the country’s largest firms,” the Wall Street Journal’s Sara Randazzo and Nicole Hong report. “Firms’ sole assets are lawyers and their client relationships. As demand for work from the biggest law firms has softened since the financial crisis, poaching top partners has become one of few ways to boost revenue. Many firms ask about prior complaints in new-hire questionnaires but do nothing to vet the answers, lawyers say. Firms rarely ask partners for references at their old firm, for fear of alerting competitors a star lawyer is in play.

— “Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher partner Jeffrey Reeves departed in December after an investigation into sexual-harassment allegations, the firm said. Mr. Reeves was the partner in charge of the firm’s Orange County, Calif., office in October 2015 when co-workers saw him making out with a junior associate at a Las Vegas nightclub during an office retreat, current and former Gibson lawyers said. … Mr. Reeves, who had worked at Gibson Dunn for 26 years, quickly joined litigation boutique Umberg Zipser in January. The next month he moved to a different boutique, Theodora Oringher.” Full story.

DISPATCH FROM KOCH DONOR RETREAT: “Billionaire industrialist Charles Koch extended an olive branch to Democrats during a weekend donor confab, saying Sunday that he wants to work with lawmakers regardless of party — so long as they work on issues he cares about — and admitting he has regrets about politicians his powerful network supported in the past,” POLITICO’s Maggie Severns reports. “‘I don’t care what initials are in front or after somebody’s name — I’d like there to be many more politicians who would embrace and have the courage to run on a platform’ that embraces the values he espouses, Koch told reporters when asked how he would feel about Democrats flipping the House of Representatives.

— “The Kochs’ political network has been bombarding the 2018 midterm elections with millions of dollars to help Republicans keep their seats in Congress, but the tone of the weekend was a departure from previous years, when the Kochs engineered tea party opposition to Obamacare and positioned themselves as the archnemesis of the Democratic Party. Charles Koch said he has sometimes regretted his network’s financial support for Republican lawmakers in the past and will be more careful with how he spends money going forward.” Full story.

SPOTTED: On Air Force One Sunday, according to a White House pool report, Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union. Schlapp is married to Mercedes Schlapp, White House director of strategic communications.

JOBS REPORT

— Stan Garnett and Greg Brower will co-chair Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck’s government investigations and white collar defense group. They are both shareholders at the firm.

— Patrick Ronk has left Cornerstone Government Affairs, where he was a senior associate. He is headed to the London School of Economics in September for a two-year Master of Public Administration program.

— Michael Fields is now executive director of Colorado Rising Action. He was previously state director for Americans for Prosperity Colorado.

— TJ Chase is a senior associate at Glen Echo Group. He was previously a graphic designer at the Association for Psychological Science.
