Democratic Liberator
Voted Aug. 12, 2021
No

“Will use too much money to put in place, and will have a bad impact on the economy.”

No

“This is a terrible proposal for the economy, for social justice, and for the value of work. Despite a few good ideas in this reform, retiring at age 60 would be one of the country’s worst economic disasters, and the proposal on social assistance undermines meritocracy.”
