Why do working class Americans vote against their self interests?

[Monoculturalist]

Very little about the Democratic party policy platform favors the working class.

It doesn't help the working class when your party:

1) has a dysfunctional border policy
2) creates massive inflation with reckless government spending
3) spends more on Ukraine than domestic emergency relief

Those are just a few of the things the Dems do that hurt the working class.

Worker production is always limited by the needs of the business. Most businesses have strict pay scales that ensure the financial stability of the company.

And most cry and whine about productivitynyet they're too lazy and incompetent to do the work themselves

Working class Americans making $40,000- $50,000 a year proudly fly their TRUMP flags from their Pickup Trucks

But it is Bidenomics and the Harris economic plans that focus on stimulating the middle class. Do what is best for the working class.

The Trump economic plan is focused on what is best for Elon Musk

Wages adjusted for inflation

2.1% inflation is not moderate it’s very low and you know that.

As far as those struggling bacon buyers… is Trump going to mandate bacon prices?

Is he gonna to do something about price increases from years ago?

Price mandates was a harris idea and rejected by the american people

The inflation rate today is not horrible the problem was the past four years that drove up cost 25.8 percent because the dem policies worked against the working class

Ukraine spending actually creates lots of good jobs in the defense industry.

So how do you “fix” inflation from years ago?

Recession?

You want that?

It was not wages whatsoever. Those who say it was are buying into a lie.

I'm not convinced that this is better than creating jobs that aren't dependent on war (or government spending in general).

And then they tell the working class, "Shut the fuck up. You're better off because we say so. Now get back to work, peasant."

Look on the bright side. We send our old armaments to Ukraine and restock our military with the new stuff.

Government spending is a big recirculating pump for money. Tax revenues in, government funded projects and entitlements out. Deficit spending is needed to pay interest on the borrowed money and to finance more social programs for irresponsible citizens, and illegal aliens.

You mean the old armaments that Milley and Biden didn't already give to the Taliban and Iran.

That's a common defense of our involvement, but we've been sending more than just the old stuff. I guess the biggest issue I take with this is that we clearly aren't involved for the sake of winning. If winning really was the goal, we'd be negotiating with China and India to stop trading with Russia until they ceased their attacks. The money and resources that Russia gets from China and India are the only reasons why Russia can continue the war.

The Taliban is having fun trying to get much of what we left to function after we disabled much of it.

How do you get deflation without recession?

Is deflation even a god thing?

Much of that money is from Russian oil sales. I suggest using the coal we sell to India as a bargaining tool to get them to stop buying Russian oil and start buying from us or from our allies. They buy oil from Russia well below the global market price, as does China and perhaps other nations as well.

Yes it can be a good thing because it brings the cost of good and services down.

Yes you can, a recession deals with gdp growth not cost of goods

Deflation is better than inflation, although it's rare. We haven't experienced that since about 1933. Deflation wasn't the reason why the Great Depression was so bad. It was a symptom of the Depression, but it ultimately was a good thing for our currency. The worst economic crises involve hyperinflation.

Deflation makes borrowing very expensive.

What happens when business can’t borrow to expand? Job losses

What happens to the debt when borrowing get more expensive?

Yeah it grows… a lot

Sorry but deflation is really really bad

Low inflation over time evens out without those bad effects
