This 30 minute documentary prepared by the “Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth” House Select Committee of the 117th Congress seems to suggest there are ways to close the income and wealth gap and help our economy bend toward fairness. Warning: Some of the proposals include government-sponsored programs!
While the committee did prepare a robust report of it’s accomplishments, it also produced this documentary as a way to touch more people, in ways that statistically produced data illustrated on nifty charts and graphs simply cannot: by focusing on individual stories (in this case three Americans), who suffered various types of adversity, financial and otherwise, and seem to have persevered with hard work and some government help. Watching this documentary, a first of its kind for Congress, is an uplifting way to spend 30 minutes.
