In addition to layoffs, service cuts of up to 50 percent are on tap if funding is not found for next year's MTA budget. MTA chief says 'people of color' would be hardest hit.

Nearly 9,400 of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s subway, bus and commuter rail workers could lose their jobs next year if the federal government fails to come through with the $12 billion the agency says it needs to keep operating.

I guess this is the time to once again link to the American Society of Civil Engineers report on the state of America's infrastructure. We definitively need to build back as the infrastructure is falling apart. We could conceivably build back better or choose the least expensive solution.

Count up all the Americans on emergency jobless benefits, on mortgage forbearance and on the CDC no-eviction list, and it's nearly 30 million hanging on by a thread after Jan 1st. And we have strategists cheering over fiscal gridlock. Go figure.

Sharp eyes catch the new "hopey changey":

Build. Back. Better.
