Republicans Have Nothing to Offer on Affordability

The Republican-led Congress, faced with deepening economic discontent exacerbated by President Donald Trump's Iran war, is struggling to find consensus on any plan to address the cost of living with less than six months before midterm elections.

Comments

Last time I looked, the GOP would not admit that "affordability" was even a word.

Because they haven't bothered trying to come up with something.

They're there to go along with whatever Trump says or does. Talking about this or offering solutions would make Trump look bad so they stay quiet and, instead, avoid their constituents like the plague.

Why bother with good policies that help Americans when you can gerrymander your way to victory? -Republicans

The GOPers are rolling out their new campaign slogan: "Shut up and get in line, or you're next..." I wonder how that will play with voters? Asking for a nation at risk...

The status quo would have been far, far preferable to our current mess.

You're a stupid pile of s*&^ who gets their views from social media memes, so I don't really expect you to understand that.
