A Republican Congress Won't Reduce Inflation. It Would Be A Disaster For Most Americans

unless the gop can win the senate we are in for some dark times ahead

 

[struth]

So if you can “anoint” Trump President… inflation will magically go away?

You’re really that stupid?

Inflation now tops the list of concerns for many voters in the United States. But if they use this week’s midterm election to protest inflation, they could tip control of Congress to the Republican Party, with disastrous consequences for their own living standards and American democracy.

Whatever happens with inflation over the next year, it will have very little to do with Congress. What matters is the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy and global developments—such as the war in Ukraine—that affect commodity prices and supply chains. Gasoline prices may be a major source of inflationary pain for voters, but neither the president nor Congress can do much to reduce them in the short term.

Making life worse for most Americans​

Moreover, we know what a Republican Congress would do. It would slash the government benefits that most Americans value. It would eviscerate the recent Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) provisions to control health-care costs and combat climate change. It would limit and raise the costs of family planning (birth control) and reproductive health services for women, and pursue a federal ban on abortion, with dire economic and societal consequences. Following the Supreme Court’s elimination of the constitutional right to abortion, many American women now must travel to other states to receive care. Under a national ban, Americans would have to seek reproductive health services in other countries.

In short, the Republicans would pursue an agenda that will make life worse for most Americans.

After tomorrow, you will never hear anything about inflation, crime, or gas prices. Because Republicans have no plan, and are economic terrorists. It won't take long for America to remember why we voted them out of office last time.

You do realize that the Republican Party can’t sign it into law, only the President can. Are you worried Biden would sell you out?

There is no GOP plan to end inflation

No Democratic Party plan either, they just want to pass more spending bills which will increase inflation.

A disaster? Is it about government educated generations who were trained to think American decadence causes natural disasters? We are in a freaking disaster and the doddering old fool in the W.H. doesn't have a clue. How could things get worse if a republican congress takes over?

“Must.” “Care.”

Or you know, hey, maybe they could not be evil ***** who kill their own kids for their own personal benefit.

I never considered "murder on demand" to be "care." It is contradictory.
