[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My opinion: this is a straw man argument to deflect attention and commentary about inflation and gas prices under the Biden/Harris administration. [/quote]

Uh, she is trying to address the costs of things in a way that a government can.

[b]Use the power of the government to negotiate the prices [/b]of certain drugs for medicare recipients
Provide block grants to increase the supply of housing while also providing incentives for home ownership
Incentivize competition to help reduce food prices.

And gas prices? It is cheap relative to historic costs. I can get it for under $3.50 a gallon in DC. On the eastern shore, it is closer to $3.25.

The only reason it was at $2.00 in 2020 was because the economy ground to a halt and the refineries couldn't give it away.[/quote]

So riddle me this: how come this wasn’t done months/years ago? First we were dismissed and told inflation was transitory. Now we’re told it was the corporations all along, Biden/harris admin failed to observe this phenomena or they did observe but didn’t care until right before the election. The DNC is run by amateurs with an overinflated sense of self-importance.[/quote]

She is assuming a House not controlled by the GOP- what bills have been passed since January 2023?  Do you think a president under our system, can just make it happen by saying it? [/quote]

So her plan is to hope for a house not controlled by her political opponents. Sounds like not much of a plan. Just a dangling carrot to get votes but no real action but blame the GOP for failures. [/quote]

ALL politics is about what someone hopes to do. What a baseless criticism.[/quote]
