He said that, and it worked to get elected.
Take it as you want, it was "THE" thing.
It is and always be about the economy

And the tax cuts for billionaires. Did you get one?

My taxes didn’t go up because the 2017 Trump tax cuts were extended, and I’m not a billionaire, just a sucker forced to pay money to support democrat daycare fraud and illegal aliens.

People, especially younger people, are getting priced out of a middle class life and that's easy cannon fodder for the non-incumbent party.

This country can't survive on pure-debt... either in our government or citizenry and that's the line we're approaching. When we get there, you'll see a lot more Mamdani's start to appear.

What do you think is going to happen to the current tax cuts under the Trump administration when a Democrat gets elected? If you are too stupid to realize it but take heart all of the Democrat talking points like tax cuts for the rich and affordability will be a joke 5 years from now. You will disappear or make excuses

And don't forget the extra you pay for in tarrifs that the other countries do not pay.

How do undocumented people cost you money?
You pay for someone to raise your kid.

I guess when they spent 70K for each ice arrested in MN, is what you mean?

Those ED visits and hospital stays aren’t cheap. We pay for that.

I have paid nominal tariffs directly. The only things that have increased notably are Italian suits that I have bought - went up about $25 - and coffee at French Truck, which is more because those owners are communist shitlibs.

I haven’t checked a grocery receipt in 25 years.

Anyone complaining about grocery prices is buying processed foods marketed towards poor people.

Vegetable and raw meat is very cheap overall, it just takes good choices.

Right, and all types of people going to ED is a problem and why there needs HC reform.
Unfortunately, GOP wants to keep it as is.

Just blaming undocumented for that is BS.

Again, you factually understand very little economically but you will in a few short years. When the government arbitrarily lets in x number of immigrants, those immigrants are largely destitute and are in need of support. That support comes from state and the federal government. That money doesn’t exist in some magical bank account just waiting to be spent. It is printed by the government because tax revenue alone barely pays for a percentage of obligations therefore money is added into the existing supply, inflating it. The more people you add. The more money is required to meet those needs. I hope that clears up your ignorance but again you will get your wish and the prices for staple foods will increase exponentially.

Start with getting illegals out. That’s the first group that does not need to be in our health care system.

Saying that inflation is only the expansion of the money supply and that price increases are something different is simply not how inflation is understood or measured in modern economics.


I really don’t care how .gov defines it or the mainstream media defines it, I only care what it is, and that’s what it is.

Lol, illegals, illegals, illegals.
Do yall have anything else? They aren't the major factor of our failed HC system. Reps are.

How do they hurt the economy? They put more money in than they take.

I work in healthcare you ignorant dolt and they use the emergency room as a family care practice. You can feign ignorance on here and stand up for your political views but reality will set in pretty quickly when the Left takes power. List all the governments in the World controlled by a Leftist government that is thriving economically or has thrived economically in the past under said policies. Voters like you need to suffer the consequences of your ignorance and ideology

You prob didn't get the tax cut you think, not in that bracket.

Defense spending is where the money goes, but fear and ignorance makes you look elsewhere

Paying taxes means you are making money,
Im happy to pay mine so we can have socialist things like roads, police, fire, etc. Not just bombs.

Why are the red states so dependent on the gov?
Supposedly, the tax cuts. Family values, less gov, all things republican do not work as advertised?

Who is suffering from republican policies?

We are suffering from the incompetent party in power now, and why they will be voted out soon.
