The scariest part is that Steve is one of the millions of people in this country who are underinsured. He works as a contract employee, so he has zero paid days off or sick days, and inadequate medical insurance. Pair that with the mortgage and rent moratoriums and student loan deferments expiring at the end of January, and you've got a recipe for financial disaster.Steve spends every spare minute he has fighting to help people understand how federal finance works so they can band together to fight against the neoliberal austerity policies we're trapped under in this country that have caused him and so many others to have to make terrible choices about whether to get help they need or continue to suffer and possibly die so they can keep working to maintain their family's wellbeing.
Let's help him now to cover the debt tsunami he's about to face so that he can continue to educate and fight for all of us to have a better life....
