As market speculation grows around potential interest rate cuts and government interventions in major corporations, it is clear that current economic policy is disproportionately influenced by the interests of Wall Street and large investors. The recent surge in UnitedHealth's stock price following Berkshire Hathaway's investment, as well as discussions of government stakes in companies like Intel, show that corporate profits and investor confidence are often prioritized over the needs of everyday Americans.
Meanwhile, rising healthcare costs and stagnant wages continue to burden working families, and the benefits of economic growth remain concentrated among the wealthiest. The Federal Reserve's decisions on interest rates have far-reaching impacts on employment, wages, and the affordability of essential goods and services. Yet, these decisions are often made with little public input or transparency.
It is time for a shift toward economic policies that are accountable to the public and that address the needs of the many, not just the privileged few. We demand real oversight, transparency, and a commitment to economic justice in all decisions affecting our financial system and broader economy.
