..in his presidential campaign, Trump asked his audience 'Are you feeling better off during the Biden administration?'
..and obviously they feel not, because of cost of living crisis.
..Yet, now in power, he is not making his electorate feeling any more secure not just in cost of living crisis but also how they feel about their job security. And his DOGE is slashing many jobs emboldening the private sector to follow suit while his tariff policy almost assured of causing a spike in domestic prices. And because of that, higher inflation would cause the Fed to hold pat on interest rates unless the economy sinks into a recession.
..A party that appeals to your concerns over living standards without a clear policy of their own on how to make you feel better is no better and could, as Trump demonstrated, be even worse.
..Common folks are in no position to suffer 'short term pain' for any long term gain, they may be broke and 'dead' before they can see the long term gain. And those long term gains are just reserved for the wealthy cohorts.
