There's a lot of talk that inflation/price hikes/crime will bite Dems in the ass in November

[tenderfoot]

So tell us what the GOP will do about it? Then tell us what they've done the past year to help average Americans.

[Claustrum]

1. They are doing absolutely nothing to help.

Actually, they are obstructing dems from doing things to help. But unfortunately, history tells us that the public blames the party in power for things happening. So they will blame the inflation on dems with the help of the media and the loud megaphones that the right wing has.

2. And it all is coming from the same journos at the same spin-cycle capitalist propaganda publications

The Hill, Politico, New York times editorial board, etc. Didn't hear them complaining so much when King Clairol was on the throne and the economy went into the toilet, did we?

[crickets]

3. Yep. US media in general also declines to point out that inflation is world wide

and unavoidable, largely due to economic strains brought on by COVID. By their reckoning it sounds like President Biden is personally responsible and failing us all.

[Claustrum]

4. And when Biden actually did what he could to ease up some of the port/supply chain problem in the US

and supplies became more available, they went silent on those facts because it doesn't fit their narrative.

I remember reading news about Walmart's CEO praising the administration for fixing those port problem and they saw an immediate improvement for their inventory. But the media basically skipped over those stories.

5. They don't have to do anything about it.

Nor do they have to pretend to have a plan. All they have to do is hammer gas prices, inflation and, of course, CRT and they’re pretty much home free.

They retake Congress, pass a bunch of garbage that they say will help when it won’t, get it all stalled in the Senate and ride their obstruction into 2024. Meanwhile, no more judges or appointments of any kind will go through.

This country isn’t smart enough to stop it from happening.

6. But not a PEEP

About Price gouging and plain old Greed. Which is the true driving force of all the price hikes.

“We are seeing very substantial inflation,” the Berkshire chairman and CEO said at the conglomerate’s annual shareholder meeting Saturday. “It’s very interesting. We are raising prices. People are raising prices to us and it’s being accepted.” Warren Buffett.
