What SPECIFIC policies would address inflation or ANY economic problem?

We already know trickle down economics is a failure. What else do republicans even offer?

50 years of tax cuts for the rich failed to trickle down, economics study says

Tax cuts for the wealthy didn't boost the economies of the U.S. and 17 other countries — but they did worsen income inequality.

Trickle-Down Economics: Four Reasons Why It Just Doesn't Work

We've all heard the claims that cutting tax rates for the richest Americans will improve the standard of living for the working class. Supposedly, top-bracket tax breaks will result in more jobs being created, higher wages for the average worker, and an overall upturn in our economy. It's at the...

Any plan the GOP has would be better than we have now.

The mistake there is in believing that it is only the Republicans that practice that kind of trickle down. Most Democrats fully support it also.

It's all in the timing. Create a bubble but just don't be running things when it pops.

And yet you can’t even be specific about what that is besides supply side economics.

Trickle down economics only exists in the minds of liberals like you, Billy...liberals that are clueless about economics in general and how businesses in general operate! Profits trickle "up"...not down!

Even if that were true, we still know they push policies that address the poor and middle class.

Also, this is so beyond the point anyway. Regardless of who pushes it, the point is that it fails. How about addressing the topic at hand instead of this “but but but Democrats! Derp!” crap.

Do you realize how dumb it sounds to pretend these policies don’t exist? I mean if the name bothers you, it’s such a lame point. Regardless of what you call it, these policies exist either way.

They do. $1 million for the rich, $10 for the poor.

It does fail. I addressed it and what happens.

 

[Mr Natural]

More tax cuts for billionaires of course!

Assuming the ones in the Democrats BBB bill don't pass.

Increasing the min wage, child tax credits, unemployment benefits, SNAP, stimulus checks, the attempt to lower healthcare costs, investing in infrastructure…..

What we really know is that trickled-on Keynesian money printing and the socialistic welfare state are flaming failures.....Yet you economically illiterate crackpots keep that scam going.

Even if that were true, we still know they push policies that address the poor and middle class.

Being a card-carrying member of the middle class, I respectfully request that they make NO policies concerning me... I'd rather they just leave me the frak alone.

Eight years and the Democrats never raised the minimum wage under Obama. Nor have they under Biden. It was last done under Bush.

There has been no attempts to lower healthcare costs. Actually people like Cory Booker routinely vote against that.

TANSTAFL, nitwit.

The entire republican party platform is "own the libs". They don't have any plans for anything else.

$1 million for the rich, $10 for the poor.

I object to giving $10 to the poor.

They will just spend it on liquor and cigarettes.

 

[Otis Mayfield]

trump will do what he did his first term.

He would stumble around blindly not knowing what to do.

Without leadership, Congress would do nothing.

America would be a rudderless ship adrift on a rough sea.

Biden reversed nearly all of Trump's policies as soon as he could. He had no real plans other than "orange mad bad." The border situation is exemplary of his lack of success and insight across the board.

Trump basically did the same thing which is why we started funding the GoF research in China again.
