In full display.
The Democrats have to blitz the inzone now and cause the GOP to fumble.
You see the GOP gave huge tax breaks to the very wealthy. Deficit is sky rocketing. Rates will continue to move
Higher specially since the trade war with
the Chinese will cause them to buy less
Of our treasuries making interest rates
Move even higher. The democrats will
gain control of the house in 3 weeks and
Will have to raise taxes to stop the GOP
from calling for entitlements reduction.
Either way the slow down in the economy
Will be blamed on the Democrats for raising taxes.
The democrats should expose the GOP
Plan now and tell the voters to protect
entitlements by voting for the democrats
before it's too late.

(8,146 posts)They say that is necessaire to a functional democracy. ..has there EVER been a time when a true leftwing (mainstream) press was informing the electorate, in US history?
Example: the fact treason kavana was leader of Clinton troubles in 'late 90's, or how he was unvolved in the BUSH coup in 2k election.

(25,246 posts)That's their game. Pass on tax breaks to the rich by blowing up the deficit and let the Dems deal with the fallout.
What's the old saying? Doing the same thing and expecting a different result. How many times are we going to fall for the same story from the Repugs? There's no 'trickle down'. There never was and there never will be.
Look how Obama had to bring us back from the 'brink'. Trump is still reaping the benefits of Obama's actions - but the lying liar Trump is taking the credit.
When it all falls down again - it will be the Dems that will have to bat clean-up.
The pattern has been set by the Repugs and it's about time that the People be shown and told by the Dems what the Repugs are up to.
Yeah - the Dems will have to raise taxes - but we'll have to make sure that it is the rich - those that continually benefit from the Repugs giveaways - that will have to pay those taxes.
We'll need to shore up ACA, Medicare and Social Security. Rebuild the infrastructure. Essentially put money in the hands of the People that will spend it.
It's not rocket science baby. When the People have money - they will feed the economy. They will feel good about themselves. They will spend and that will juice the economy. They will buy houses, cars, appliances. They will go on vacations. They will flock to the theaters and restaurants.
Supply and demand kicks in. More jobs will be created to fill the demand. Tax monies will be generated and we'll get back to a synergy that will make the economy fairer for everyone.
The Dems need to tell this story and then put this plan into effect. Once we break this cycle that the Repugs put us on everytime they are in control - it will be the Dems that Make America Great Again.
We can start by breaking this cycle in November. We need to GOTV!!!!
We need an historic turnout. More People voting in the Midterms than in any other election ever held in this country. It's the only way we can prevent the Repugs from suppressing, stealing, cheating and getting help by the Russians to maintain control. They can't possibly cheat their way back into office without being really obvious that they did - if we can turn out an historic vote.
GOTV!!!!!!!!!
