Senator Peter Welch: We must, as America has always done, pay our bills, in full and on time 05/11/2023

From the Office of Senator Welch:

In a speech on the Senate floor Thursday afternoon, Senator Peter Welch (D-VT) blasted the fiscal irresponsibility of congressional Republicans’ refusal to raise the debt ceiling without precondition. He outlined the dangerous consequences—both domestic and global—of a U.S. fiscal default, highlighting the perilous position a default would create from a national security perspective and the harm it would inflict on the value of the dollar. Senator Welch implored Speaker McCarthy to take default off the table and raised the need to consider 14th Amendment in order to meet our financial obligations.

“I am willing, as I believe the vast majority of my colleagues are, to engage in serious budget discussions to bring down America’s debt. What I am not willing to do, now or ever, is abandon America’s historic commitment to paying its bills. I am not willing to inflict the damage to our economy and the pain on our people a catastrophic default would impose,” said Sen. Welch. “We cannot do this. We must not do this. We must, as America has always done, pay our bills, in full and on time.”

The Juxtaposition: Legacy-makers 05/10/2023

From Mark Hughes:

Systemic racism adversely impacts the health and wellness of Black folks, places at risk our economic development and the social health and wellness of everyone, and threatens our democracy. The Richard Kemp Center was created to center the needs of the Black community in rectifying racial inequity by serving as a cultural broker in the expanding but historically ineffective, inefficient, and nonexistent programs and services to marginalized communities. It is the legacy-maker at the intersection of the Black community’s wellness, culture.
