"Consumer Confidence Soars to Two-Year High Amid Economic Bill of Rights"

Despite positive economic indicators, such as low unemployment and rising real wages, many Americans remain dissatisfied with the economy. While the economy has improved, millions still face unemployment, lack of health insurance, homelessness, and poverty. The idea of economic rights, proposed by President Roosevelt in 1944, is being revisited by progressives and gaining bipartisan attention. This vision includes providing basic needs such as housing, healthcare, education, and welfare. The shift towards economic rights is reflected in proposals like the Green New Deal and calls for a 21st-century economic bill of rights, aiming to bridge the gap between Bidenomics and progressive policies.
