I want to be clear about what the Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates today does: it pulls the rug out from under job and wage growth. After decades of stagnation, American workers have only begun to see wages grow overall in the recent few years, though job and wage growth has yet to return to many parts of the country.

The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that the Republican healthcare bill will be as disastrous as we expected. 14 million will be uninsured by next year, and 24 million by 2026.
