Having nothing to say about the woke or the squad doesn't make the problem go away. Biden worries me way more than Trump did and I'm nowhere near far right.

Great points, and the idea that an economy or country van borrow it's way into prosperity is flawed. His example of inflating house prices doesn't hold across an economy where real prosperity comes from producing value in terms of goods and services and not speculation.

@Michelle_Wellbeck Populist is just a label the left slap on any conservative politicians who might win an election. Funny how popular leftsts are ever populists. Biden was more popular than Trump in 2020.

Not the same and neither are the solution to poverty or low wages. They are both ways of deferring responsibility. Both are ways to spend more than one earns, which rarelly ends well. Someone has to pay ultimately.

@mr7wi I'm hearing him spout a lot of lefty economic nonsense. Not clear at all.
