How will the GOP deal with inflation? (gasoline, border, solution)

[gmagoo]

Anger is something both sides have plenty of but there seems to be a dearth of suggestions. Screeching about Brandon isn`t proving to be very helpful. Suggestions and ideas are welcome. Whaddya got?

Lol they don’t have a clue but sputtering at the mouth makes them look good to their ‘constituents’

First step: undo Brandon's multitude of stupid EO's.

GOP cannot do anything, they are the minority in both the house and the senate.

The question should be, how are the dems going to handle inflation, since own the house and senate.


I'd say, let the dems have what they want, pass this current bill and let the inflation run wild.

The interest rate needs to go way up. This won't be done of course by the Dems or the GoP, at least for a while and hopefully not too late. The cheap money has to go away but nobody wants to deal with the housing and stock market crash this will bring. And thats always been our problem, neither party ever wants to take the hit so they roll the ball down the road. Sooner or later that road will end and things will get very, very bad. And what will each party do, simple blame the other.

Time to raise the interest rates for crying out loud.

1. Reduce spending (lots of areas where this could be done)
2. Raise interest rates
3. Stop the open border
4. Support oil and gas production
5. Stop giving money to foreign nations

They'll do nothing because they profit from inflation same as Democrats. They are the investor class, and inflation means return on investment. They make the laws that favor their investments, both parties.

The economic solution to reducing inflation is simple, if laborious. Shrink the money supply, raise the prime rate, pop a few bubbles, etc. But that would hit virtually every single honey pot the investor class have their snouts in.

So uhm yeah, figure those odds.

If they wanted to throw a symbolic yet illusory "cure" to the people, just open the oil/LNG/refinery spigots domestically and lower the price of gas. For most Americans, gasoline is the sole indicator of inflation.

The same as they always do.

Cut taxes for the wealthy.

Stop caring about the national debt once they get in power.

Otherwise known as "the same exact thing as Democrats"
