re: The DC Uniparty wants everything you don't.

You want it too....except maybe the endless war thing.

You want free trade at the end of the day and when you go to Wal Mart or Target or buy furniture, you don't give a shite

I'm not sure they want it entirely, but we the people bitch about it, but overall we'll hire a cheap Mexican or Central American, of it means the price works....like building a house.

You want the deficit spending.Don't delude yourself, you don't want to pay taxes on the goodies you get like infrastructure plus you as a group are NOT going to turn down Social Security or Medicare. Plus Agriculture subsidies keep the farmers in business and keep our food from getting too high....or too low. We love it and the politicians love that we love it. See what happens to a MAGA if he attempts to mess with any goody for his district.....MAGA won't be doing it for long

See above, we bitch about the size, but we'll bitch more if our governmental services that we like are scaled back

Inflation......government really has no control over inflation. In fact the Fed has been obsessed since the late 70s in keeping it down. Prices though are sticky especially on food and utilities. You need it, the producers and retailers know you need it and you'll shell it out. Plus so many who are bitching no doubt took stimulus monies during Covid. Good conservative business types who took advantage of the PPP
