Like it or not, it’s political Groundhog Day. The Biden/Trump looped tape is rolling, and the contest will again center on the Blue Wall states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Working-class voters will be key.
Step One in curtailing off-shoring of manufacturing jobs must be institution of a border-adjustable consumption tax. How can we expect fair competition when the tax playing field is fundamentally uneven? Canada's goods and services tax like the value added tax in Mexico, China and our free-trade partners distort investment decisions and create a powerful incentive to buy tax-free imported goods instead of competing domestic goods. That self-inflicted wound damages American producers, their workers and taxpayers.
It is absolutely shameful and disgusting what the US political class are doing to worker employment by allowing these stock buybacks. It shows who and what really sit atop the US economy. Please see my latest article:
I don’t trust Biden to be sharp enough to figure things out. Because he blurted out things like: “Russia needs a regime change.” He’s not wrong, but you don’t say such thing on world stage if you’re the president.
He’s also a lousy tactician.
What has he done to handle the attempted coup? The Supreme Court hijacking? No doubt he didn’t dampen the inflation (France stopped putting overpriced goods on the on shelf, forcing manufacturers to endure what the rest of the population are enduring.)
If he kept track of Putin’s where abouts, he could’ve had Putin and few others taken out, and saved so many Ukrainians and Russians lives (I don’t hold citizens responsible for wars, which they have no say over, even here in the US!)
Biden also ignored the debunked info about beheading of children /rape of Israeli women. And went ahead with funding the genocide of the Palestinian. Does Israel, a country with a formidable army, viable tech companies really need to be on US’s payroll? They’ve been stirring up trouble with Palestinians, and killing them long before Oct 7th. It’s time Israel committed atrocities on its own dime. America needs to stop going to war period, and focus everything at home. Because it’s being gutted by foreign adversaries as we speak. And the intelligence agencies are far too slow to act. In fact when some one speaks up about it, they get shut down, and jailed, remember Reality Winner, the Patriot that spoke out about Russian election interference? They should’ve listen to her…
It’s beyond frustrating to watch things fall apart, while those in charge fail to step in, and handle them.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Yes, we're certainly in trouble, very deep trouble. I'm hard on the Dems, even harder in my book. But I can't handle another Trump presidency.

Biden had a majority in both houses of Congress from 2020-2022.
Pull the other one. It has bells on it.
