Any bad news for Dimocrats, is good news for America.


The midterm elections take place Tuesday, but many Americans do not have financial peace of mind.
The chances of the Republican Party taking back the House of Representatives and the Senate appear to be strengthening. Recession worries continue to cloud the horizon as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to combat four-decade high inflation.

Two polls reinforce the glum economic mood. In one, MarketWatch asked Twitter followers which financial issue was on the top of their mind heading into the polls. The clear winner was “recession fear.” Amassing nearly 48% of the 801 votes, it easily beat other choices geared at taxes and rising costs.
