Bidenomics, Inflation, Moral Decay and the Cost Of Living
Posted By RichC on June 26, 2024
Have you noticed that food, housing and energy aren’t the only things that have gone up in the three-plus years of President Biden and his Bidenomics (heavy government spending AND regulation — especially on energy)?
Recent reports have also detailed how insurance rates and property taxes have risen and are rising … by hundreds, if not thousands of dollars per year.
And how about Fast Food!?!?
I’m not sure about you … but incomes for most of us are not keep up with the pace of this kind of inflation … on
top of the previous year’s inflation.
Complaining aside, it makes sense to take a different tack and steer a different course come November 2024.
A person on X.com shared a “Why I Will Vote For Trump” graphic and it sums up most of the issues bothering at least half the country. If the economy, crime and the lack of a secure southern border isn’t enough, perhaps the radically changing values that most Americans just assumed were sacrosanct until Progressive DEMs seized control of the Democratic Party.
Personally I’ve watch our society decay from within for decades, but the recent changes have been nothing but shocking. I was once entertained by George Orwell’s dystopian novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” … but now I feel as if I’m living it!
It has often seemed like a cliché, but this year it really does appear to be “the most important election of our lifetime” (see Brave AI chime in below).
The most important election in our lifetime
The concept of the most important election in our lifetime is a recurring theme in modern politics. Many politicians, analysts, and citizens alike have described various elections as the most crucial in recent history. However, it’s essential to examine the context and significance of each election to understand why they are considered so vital.
Structural Factors
One reason why elections are deemed crucial is the structural context in which they take place. The United States’ two-party system, combined with its first-past-the-post electoral system, can lead to high stakes and intense polarization. This setup can make elections feel more consequential than they would in other systems.
Polarization and Expectations
The increasing polarization of American politics has also contributed to the perception that elections are more important than ever. When politicians and citizens are deeply divided, the outcome of an election can have a significant impact on the direction of the country. This polarization can lead to high expectations and a sense of urgency around election outcomes.
Recent Examples
Several recent elections have been described as the most important in our lifetime. The 2020 presidential election, for instance, was marked by unprecedented mobilization and high stakes. The election was seen as a referendum on the presidency of Donald Trump and the direction of the country. The 2022 midterm elections also received significant attention, with many considering them a crucial test of the country’s political landscape.
The 2024 Election
The 2024 presidential election is likely to be another highly consequential election. With the country still grappling with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing issues like climate change, economic inequality, and social justice, the next election will have significant implications for the country’s future.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the most important election in our lifetime is a subjective concept that depends on individual perspectives and the context of the election. While some may argue that certain elections are more significant than others, it’s essential to consider the structural factors, polarization, and expectations surrounding each election to understand why they are considered crucial. The 2024 election is likely to be another highly important election, and it’s essential for citizens to engage in the democratic process and make their voices heard.
