Why are the Dems worse? The Dems just cleaved the deficit in half. The Dems are already slowing the rate of inflation. The Dems are slowing the price increases for housing.
Yes
NC...you first mistake is thinking a government should be run "like a business"......If "1/6" is meaning less to you, you truly are a pathetic member of the United States....1/6 was indeed an organized plot to overthrow the orderly transfer of power of the government...in short...it was a treasonist act! Those responsible need to be tried, convicted and hung. Pretty simple.....Those responsible for the insurrection of 1/6 are enemies of the state.

My god, Trad, even with an official link saying you're wrong, you still double down.

The US is handling inflation much better than Europe is right now. 12%+ inflation over there.
I don't recall the exact numbers, but under President Trump the private economy was growing at a rate that could support a larger deficit as time went on. He was supporting the domestic oil industry and this was good for the currency by keeping the trade deficit in line.
Btw, in the 90s, a Republican Congress w Clinton as president balanced the budget. The last time the budget was balanced was 2001 under HW.
Nice spin, Titus.
Tax increases seem like a heavy handed approach to controlling inflation. I’d think interest rate shifts more reasonable. Also, decreasing entitlement spending. We had Biden and trump sending people checks every month even if they were gainfully employed. That was unnecessary, expensive, and inflationary.
Tax increases will work, though. Aren’t we looking for solutions....or are we only for solutions you are comfortable with?
I agree that there’s a both sides issue.
Blocking BBB with the help of Manchin and Sinema was anti-inflationary.
Bull shit. Taxes are NOT difficult to “unroll”...we have been doing nothing but “unrolling” taxes since the 1980’s! Gimme a phuquin’ break!
Nope. I’d rather not give Dems more crap they can scream racism about it. If it were me I’d freeze the tax policy as is, bake it into the constitution. Take it away as an issue to f with. No more crappy “pay their fair share” arguments. When the default logic is a simple tax increases = not racist nor a handout to the “rich” and tax decreases = racist and a handout to the rich, I’m voting against any policy and any candidate advocating for tax increases. The Dems just increased taxes fairly dramatically. That’s bad. Makes me poorer.
Why does the Dems claiming “racism” bother you so much? Are you one of those folks who think it doesn’t exist. Or are you one who thinks racism is tolerable? How do you “bake” current tax law into the Constitution? The current law is confusing and vague as hell. How could you think this is a good solution to any thing?
I’m one of those who thinks the dems argue unfairly. And, accuse republicans of racism, sexism or being anti poor as a knee jerk to build their coalition. I don’t respect people who argue that way. Pisses me off. But more, I think it directly fuels division in the country and is actively unhealthy for our culture.
More than 50 percent of our national budget goes to ss and health. Look at the pie chart. And, even in the defense budget a lot of that is make-work and healthcare. Dems are the bigger spending problem. Also, look at what they’re proposing and their rhetoric. If you had one party dem rule today for too long, you’d have our economy sinking to third world status and no economic mobility as we worked to crush capitalism. We’d have gov redistribution of wealth at a micro level and you’d end up like East Germany Soviet era with bread lines and supermarkets with no food.
You make a couple of good points relating to interest rates and money. I would observe however that savings and investment is basically the same thing. What people save eventually gets invested or goes into housing which many count as investment.
He's one of those voters who doesn't find racism to be a dealbreaker.
No. I’m one of those who doesn’t appreciate the exploitation of demographics relative to current finances to argue that every fiscally relevant policy is racist or not based on said demographics. I also don’t appreciate the dig up history of candidates for various posts you oppose and label them rapists or misogynists, etc strategy. See Kavanaugh.
All of it? First three sentences are fact. The rest extrapolation based on proposed spending programs by dem that you disagree with. There are no lies in my post. Just fact and opinion.
Understood. Those childish, school-boy pranks are all just part of growing up, right?

So, increase refining capacity, building more refineries if necessary. Even if this isn't an immediate fix, the willingness to add product to the market will lower prices on the futures market.
