Ignoring the poor/working class is what's going to kill the dems this cycle.

Dumbass.

Why? Republicans have always ignored people who work for a living and they do alright.

How anyone can still try to justify and defend this idiot "president" is astounding. That's some real cult-level shit there.

Dumbass.

An economy where jobs are plentiful and raises are being given.

The child tax credit.

These things are helping your broke ass. Not helping the rich.

No they haven't, they are just believers in a "rising tide lifts all ships" as well as success comes from people, not from government.

When the issue is a mainly working class problem republicans can be counted on to call any attempt to do anything about it socialism.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

What? You people are supposed to be the productive ones who pay all the taxes on your substantial income. You should have plenty of money to absorb any conceivable price increase. I make enough money that I've barely noticed price increases but I am nowhere close to being as rich as you people claim. I always knew you people lie about being well-off.

If you haven't noticed price increases you're not shopping or you're lying.

Just stop, absolutely nobody believes that

More government spending, more taxes, more control, less freedom.

That and your side saying that people have no right to decide what is taught to their children is going a LONG way towards making you very popular.

Your only constituents will soon be rich guilty white people, academia, the grifters, the municipal unions, and the bureaucrats.

Yep. Supply & demand, the very foundation of economic analysis.

Because 99% of the time your solutions for them is socialism.

Poverty? More government control
Environment? More government control.

Only when it comes to crime do you clowns decide to be "hands off"

Great economy. Really nothing to complain about. For every person looking, there are 1.5 jobs. And raises are being given out. Stop crying about inflation. What he is doing is giving average people a raise. Republicans only give rich people raises and say it will trickle down but it never does.

You call an economy with a 6.81% inflation rate, a fixed labor participation rate, shortages and disruptions in the supply lines, and one that's being shored up by government stimulus handouts "great"?

Just stop already. Like I said, you're a cultist.

 

[martybegan]

Yep. Supply & demand, the very foundation of economic analysis.

Inflation doesn't have anything to do with supply and demand, which is cyclical.

Inflation is about the decrease in buying power for a given unit of currency.

Still waiting for any republican to have a constructive suggestion.

What about minorities?

Less than half of US children under 15 are white, census shows

New data show that declines in white youth population are countered by gains in other racial groups, discusses demographer William H. Frey.

Tax cuts for billionaires solve all problems.

 

[martybegan]

Still waiting for any republican to have a constructive suggestion.

Still waiting for dems to suggest something besides more government, more bureaucrats and less freedom.

Of course when it comes to criminals, dems want to give them carte blanche.

Run on that, I BEG YOU.

Fact-checking Republican attempts to blame inflation on Democrats

As the US economy gradually recovers from the coronavirus pandemic, prices are rising across the board with inflation exceeding the Federal Reserve's 2% target and reaching a 13-year high in June. Republicans have turned that jump in inflation into a political talking point, trying to place the...

Only the grifter portions, you are going to lose the working ones with your continued support for low level crime.
