like to be their proxy...have at it PB...
Meanwhile, let me take a stab (again) at some of those issues...
>Crime rates...I've recently posted a link that showed U.S. homicides rose 30% between 2019 and 2020...guess who was in the WH with control of the House and Senate...did you see any action done or even proposed by the GOP?...this is a systemic problem that I believe has much (not all) to do with our large - and expanding - wealth/income inequality...tax reform, as proposed by Dems would HELP to bring those crime rates down...along with measures that even the Charles Koch Foundation champions...e.g. "De-Militarizing" Police Forces.
>Border Issues...Dems are 'walking and chewing gum' at the same time on this issue...i.e. stemming the surges from Central America and Haiti with a continuation of "Title 42" expulsions (mostly repeaters), while re-instituting lawful processing of those who aren't automatically expelled...ALSO, they are going to the sources of those surges to a) process people there, and not at our border...at the same time they are working with leaders in those countries to help reduce or eliminate the reasons why their citizens are running toward the USA....this never happened under the GOP admin.
>Homelessness is a large and multifaceted problem...I've also provided links on this issue...the causes are (in no particular order)...a) closure of mental institutions for those who don't want to be there...regardless of their mental capacities...like in CA by Gov. Reagan...where do those folks go, you ask?...to city streets and parks, b) drug use...many of those homeless are drug addicts that can't hold a job...where do they go?...city streets and parks (preferably where it's warm enough to survive outdoors)...c) states that 'ship' their homeless populations to other states with one-way tickets (e.g. to CA)...Google the process if you don't believe me...Woe to the states that actually give a hoot what happens to the homeless (e.g. CA), and struggles to deal with the problem...I for one would really appreciate you solving this one...please share the magic incantation that will make it all go away, PB.
>Gasoline Prices...do we really need to go over this again?...are you ever going to READ analyses of WHY they are at their current levels?...Good heavens...YOU are in the BUSINESS, so why aren't you laying out a foolproof plan of action? (btw, just remember that the decision has already been made by the oil industry on Climate Change...they have accepted it...and planning accordingly)
>Inflation...I've also posted more than one link on that issue...started with COVID...then Putin gave it a boost...also, the Fed has acknowledged a plan to increase their rate into the low-2% range over the next year or so...let's see how all of those things (none of which were created by Dems) shake out. I've talked regularly with one our our famous 'family members' ;-) who is a senior analyst and PhD in Economics at company whose business it is to advise Fortune 500 companies and global governments on such matters...without the recent "externalities" of COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, there has been no structural reason for rampant inflation.
Bottom Line...the Democratic Party understands the reality of all that's going on and has policies to deal with them...all the GOP has right now are emotional complaints, but NO PLAN for HOW to deal with ANY of them...plus, they are now the ANTI-DEMOCRACY Party, thanks to Trump and all those "Luminaries" who support him...the GOP will win in deep red states and districts, but they have no answers anywhere else.
