So, the Republicans want to make the mid-term elections about the economy? Guess they don’t recall that the economy is more than just about current gas and food costs… it’s also about their track record, and their track record SUCKS!
Republicans are responsible for the 1929 Stock Market Crash and the Great Depression! Republicans are responsible for the 2008 Great Recession! They turn our economy into a sh*t show and then Democrats come in and clean up after the GOP elephant act. Sadly, I haven’t heard one reporter or pundit bring up these facts.
Republicans have already announced that IF they take power, they will hold the Debt Ceiling hostage to cut Social Security and Medicare benefits. These are two of the most popular programs in America! And Republicans have also said they want to “sunset” them so Congress can renew them every one to five years. Talk about a recipe for economic disaster! Why would ANY senior vote for a Republican? Why would ANYONE?
Many in the media need to go back to school and learn how to ask a follow-up question. They ask Republican candidates if they have a plan for “fixing” inflation and the economy then allow them to spout rhetorical blither-blather talking points. Ask if any of them supported the American Rescue Plan, the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (a few actually did vote for it but many more are just taking credit), or the Inflation Reduction Act. Voters need to know that Democrats actually govern and try to help all constituents while Republicans are plan-less!
When Republicans say they are going to force a government shutdown and reverse all the benefits passed in the Inflation Reduction Act — including letting Medicare negotiate pharmaceutical prices and insulin caps — BELIEVE THEM and DO NOT VOTE FOR THEM!
A vote for a Republican is a vote for Great Grief!
