Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Yang talks student loan debt, economy Saturday afternoon
Democratic presidential candidate and American tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang stopped into La Carreta in Boone Saturday to speak to a crowd of roughly 100 people with the Iowa Caucuses just two days away.
According to most polls, Yang trails top Democrats, coming in sixth or lower and well behind front-runners former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, who are in a statistical tie for the lead, and behind a group of others that include Sens. Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who are all jockeying for third place.
Yang’s platform focuses heavily on the economic strength of the U.S. that he said has been struggling due to job animation.
“Seventy-eight percent of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, 40 percent cannot afford one medical emergency away from bankruptcy,” said Yang. “A wave of automation, some call the fourth industrial revolution, is coming that will displace even more American jobs.”
