re: Matt Walsh on affordability

This is your 2 known commodities in the 2 parties:

Trump's economy:
Pros:
- deregulation
- pro business
- Pro-energy indepenence

Cons:
- Strait of Hormuz/Iran
- Tariffs (regardless of if you feel they are justified (myself), they do negatively impact some goods
- spending

Biden/Harris/left
Pros:
- created a lot of government jobs

Cons
- Created a lot of government jobs (a net negative on the economy)
- unchecked illegal immigration (20-30 million) causing rapid inflation
- anti-US energy independence
- spending
- pro-regulations, pro-red tape
- higher taxes on all industries
- more government programs that increased the tax burden
- massive governmental fraud that the left did not care about nor prosecute
- USAID
- and much much more


But yeah, let me vote for the left because of the price of things right now. Even though when the Iran situation is sorted out prices will fall. Let's put the people that caused 15% real inflation without the negativity of an active conflict in the ME to take control. I'm sure this will run much smoother, especially when they are all communists now.

Matt is right

The boomers on this board who blindly follow trump and refuse to even make common sense criticisms of him and his dumb policies are driving the future of this country into a liberal hellhole.

Your grandkids will hate you, your legacy will end. Boomers ruin everything.

Trump is literally calling this “The Golden Age of America” while knowledge jobs are getting absolutely devastated.

frick them all.

Why do you put all of the countries ills on 1 generation?

60% of the US Senate is boomer.
Trump Biden Obama Bush all boomers.

Baby Boomers first achieved a majority in the House of Representatives following the 1998 midterm elections.

Most people in my generation point to 9/11 as the turning point and the beginning of the decline of our country.
Boomers have been in charge for the downfall of America. And they still vote in their own self interests and hand the credit card bill to their kids and grandkids.

There is a reason why they call you BABY boomers. You never grew up.

Why do you put all of the countries ills on 1 generation? Do you think that to be wise?

Boomers used the ladder laid out by the generations before them to climb to the top, then looked back and pulled the ladder up to reach even higher, full well knowing that meant the next generations wouldn’t be able to climb up.

More like “I’m struggling with affordability, so I’m going to vote for the candidate that promises me food subsidies, no more student debt, to lower my rent, and free healthcare over the candidate that said they would make things more affordable but just laid me off, cut my benefits, and started bombing Iran.”

I don’t agree with it, but that will be the appeal. Republicans need to propose solutions to the unaffordability of basic necessities. Republicans need to run on more problems than just social issues if they want to win enough seats to govern. They have to communicate a path towards affordable healthcare, housing, food, and education. We know that the socialists are offering a poison pill, but a sick patient will choose a poison pill over no pill when they will die without treatment. You have to prescribe a real cure for them to reject the snake oil miracle cure.

If you cannot even notice let alone acknowledge that there is a problem, how can you even begin to try and formulate a solution, much less communicate one and campaign on it to the masses?

Democrats added 100 million people and they all need a place to live.

FIFY. A Republican is more apt to make things better. Biden caused a good portion with flooding this country with people who were contributing ZERO and putting them on the government payroll.

If a Democrat wins in 2024, they will reverse everything back to what Biden did. That means a return to 100% Globalist first and America last. That certainly doesn't bring prices down.

quote:

---

If conservatives don’t offer positive changes to the status quo that will help these people, they will vote for the progressives because they at least acknowledge that there is a problem.

---

So, my problem is income tax is too high. But the conservatives won't vote to lower the tax. So, I vote Dem. They raise my income tax. Hmmmm?

Is income tax your only expense? You don’t worry about transportation, housing, education, healthcare, food, or utilities?

i guess matt's run out of people to ask what a woman is so now he's switching to the ol' tried and true politics of envy works on people like you every time.
