Now what are they going to run on?

Well…the plan for the repubs for this fall’s election was to hammer the dems on inflation and gas prices…blaming Biden for all of it when inflation is world wide and high gas prices are a result of price gouging by the oil companies. But, guess what? With reports out this morning, the expectations for inflation to moderate back to pre pandemic values by early next year and gas prices have been falling for 60 days in a row now and are under 4 bucks a gallon out here…so now what are the repubs going to run on? Making sure diabetics have to pay thousands for insulin instead of the 35 dollars a month cap that the dems wanted? Or gutting Medicare and Social Security like ole Ron Johnson the senator from Wisconsin has just publicly stated and that is the holy grail of shredding the social safety net that the repubs want….I guess they can run on being against everything that the dems want but most of it is pretty popular so that probably won’t work….more guns on the street? 80% of the country doesn’t want that…outlawing abortion in the states? 70% of the US doesn’t want that so that won’t work…look, they have nothing but hatred to run on in this election and I think the US is getting tired of that bullshit…so maybe this could be a good election for us especially after getting the inflation act passed…once people know what is in it, they will love it…and not one repub voted for it…but that hasn’t stopped them from lying and taking credit for it and the good things it will do….it’s what they do every time…geez….

Have you heard?

Well…as of yesterday, oil prices were back under 100 dollars a barrel and the wholesale price of gas fell almost 40 cents a gallon yesterday…but I’ll bet you didn’t hear a thing about it…when the prices were rising, there were breathless reports all day long about high prices and how high they could go and how the people with their 10mpg trucks couldn’t afford to fill their tanks and how people had to choose between eating or putting gas in their car…and it was all Biden’s fault….but now, silence…gas is down by almost a buck a gallon out here in Muskegon and that is without the big drop that will filter in over the next week or so…so if Biden is responsible for rising prices, shouldn’t he be praised for falling prices given that he has tried damn near everything to get the oil companies to stop gouging American consumers? That is the problem that the dems have had since forever…they get only blame for the bad stuff and no credit at all for the good stuff they’ve done…and inflation is coming under control and should be back down to normal levels by the end of the year….and you will notice that as it gets better, inflation is no longer being blared out by every damn news outlet in this country…look, this is not a horserace that both sides needs to be covered like one….just give the dems some credit for a change…be fair and truthful…that’s all I ask….geez…
