    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Yeah, AG's principal solution to what is really a serious long term problem is "get rid of Joe Biden". They've obviously put a lot of thought into this. Investigative journalism at it's finest.

      I was only joking

        Isn't much of the interest rate hike Biden's fault?

            I said "much".

            But Biden chunked out a good deal more than Trump.

              High inflation is a global problem, fairly clearly caused by the pandemic and other issues such as Ukraine.

              And the US housing problem is a long-term one, which has been building for decades.

              Also, I would humbly suggest that electing a real-estate mogul to lead the country is not a very smart thing to do if you want to drive down housing and rental costs. Call me cynical if you will, but I suspect there may be just the slightest conflict of interest.

                    That fact doesn’t fit the narrative of the common folk.

                                  So, what can be done? For starters, punting Biden and the profligate Democrats from power in Washington is a must. To bring down overall inflation and interest rates, America simply must get real about exorbitant federal borrowing and spending. In this regard, many establishment Republicans deserve enormous blame as well, and should be primaried into 2024, especially those who supported Biden’s albatross Omnibus package passed in the waning hours of the last Democrat-controlled Congress in 2022.

                                  In addition, at the state and local level, governments needs to better accommodate new construction of housing stock. Stifling regulations often make building an onerous, time-consuming, and expensive process, especially in liberal jurisdictions. Such unnecessary hurdles practically force builders to focus on only high-end projects, given the economics of permitting and zoning.

                                    Now, being just a dumb country boy, I interpret that to mean for government spend less, decrease debt and overhaul regulations that needlessly add to building costs for single family homes.

                                    Stupid, isn't it?

                                      Biden’s not great, but Trump and his Democrat controlled Congress gave away more free money by far between the Stimuli and the PPE Grants.

                                        It is not difficult to imagine Trump buying votes and enjoying seeing his name on them.

                                        Education is extremely important.

                                          Let’s not forget that Biden’s one stimulus check was one that Trump proposed late in the campaign…If Trump would have won, it still would have happened.
