As far as oil, technically, America produces more oil than it uses. It refuses to refine its own oil here they claim the infrastructure doesn’t exist, but they could easily produce infrastructure choose not to because the reality is it keeps the prices high to import while allowing them to sell at a higher cost to export, and the companies are run by the Rich and don’t want to make it come down. They in fact, have more drilling rights than they they’ve ever had and don’t even use right now. He wants to drill in areas that are protected due to their importance of the Fana of the world in an excess that it would stabilize the planet for the worse if they were to be injured or killed off due to oil. Which is why he wants to also destroy the EPA completely. However, we do not need it whatsoever we produce more than enough oil in the United States so they talk in general is a lie. Meantime, I do not believe that some thing as essential as oil should even be in a private industry as far as our economy is concerned as it has been the direct, cause of several of our worst economic crashes in the last 50 years and both cases solely due to the companies charging more in the form of gouging meaning that they had no supply and demand issues to really justify it. During the bus they took them to court, but nothing was done. Of which they completely collapsed the economy which we have never recovered from just because they started charging four times more for oil with zero reason other than they accidentally over speculated every single year, knowing that that’s a complete lie. So personally, the fact that they’re allowing some things so tied into our economy to be handled by the whims of private equity is ridiculous and the argument that we don’t produce enough oil is also a lie. Wish we weren’t spending our tax dollars on that because it cost us a fortune and our economyin the last half century.

They are very different. I could literally name 10,000 policies that make them extremely different as far as civil rights goes. Even in this very war of Gaza. But the real differences come in their own land of the United States as there have been several constitutional laws completely Gutted by Republicans. In our own country, I’ll give you an example. The expansion of the NSA to spy on American citizens was constitutionally protected under the privacy act saying that the government does not have the right to invade the privacy of its citizens. Edward Snowden busted George Bush Junior and his government for spying on regular citizens without a warrant in mass. So the mass surveillance of the invasion of privacy against our constitution of our civilian population. He flood as the whistleblower laws that are supposed to protect him did not. And the Republican run used terminology to circumvent the constitution saying that cell phones are optional and therefore not equal to your car or your house as far as spying is concerned by your government and then they just passed spying on our citizens. Donald Trump right now is suggesting to use a system called Pegasus, which is what Israel has, created in order to cause mass surveillance in the homes of every person who has electronics and he is suggesting to use it in America, which would then be the largest invasion of privacy of every American no matter your politics in the entire country in your homes in your cars in your phones, so let’s grab a look at that one. I highly recommend the people pay attention to that because it will affect you no matter how much you hate the other side could read our history and every policy that our presidents do because I really care about what they do not their big fat males and no, I don’t like Democrats either, but they are definitely not on the same level of dismantling our rights by far. Historically, I would’ve been considered a Republican, but I have not seen a single Republican since before Ronald Reagan, that I did not think of as atreason to some extent. As for laws that dismantle our rights, the regulations of corporations to monopolize on us while keeping the laws that benefit them, etc. etc. I could do this all day.

I am 45 years old. 100% of Republican presidents within my entire lifetime have come in during an economic boom and crashed our economy by the time they left office. Since 1953 the United States has had 13 economic collapses, and 12 of them were under Republican run and lead government. I am not a Democrat. I am not Republican. I have only ever liked a handful of presidents in our history and they are pretty split up. With a few From outside of the two party system. I do care about policy. Let’s talk policy. Two of the worst economic collapses in our recent history were both under Republicans that was Ronald Reagan ( which pretty much killed the American dream) and George Bush Junior, George Bush Junior took gas from $.97 a gallon to five dollars a gallon not Biden.. We have never recovered from any economic collapse from the 50s on. And the middle class is noticeably shrinking. We know where the money is going. It’s going to the rich because their money is noticeably growing. That was because of deregulation created by Reagan , which also regulated banking ethics laws, and Wall Street ethics laws which led to every collapse since. Obama, which I also didn’t like at least tried to reinstate those ethics laws under Dodd frank. And Donald Trump’s first action in presidency was to remove Dodd frank. George Bush Junior expanded the NSA to spy on the general population of America without a warrant. prior to that was considered unconstitutional, but he and his cabinet decided that they would just make it a law, and Richard Nixon is the person who made healthcare for profit, which is why it is the number one reason that people go bankrupt in the United States today. Now I could do this all day And I can’t stand. Democrats. I hate Biden, but what I can say is electing a Republican 100% will crash our economy according to their own track record, and we cannot afford another crashed economy. Nobody’s gonna care about the culture wars, which will never go away because they will always exist and have always existed, but a middle class has not always existed and a strong middle class is rare in history. And we are losing it. No one gonna care if a man is wearing a dress or if a school has removed a book from its library when their children are starving.

The top 4 spenders in ALL US history are Ronald Reagan, George Bush Jr, Obama, and Donald Trump for the win. Of those only Obama had a massive depression threatening economic crash to fix from his republican predecessor. The rest all came into government and crashed the economy by the time they left office. Also Bill Clinton is one of only two presidents in all Is history to balance the budget. Making a democrat the most fiscally responsible president in most of history, and republicans all the worst spenders and adders to the national debt. Donald Trump was the worst of all, and it happened even before Covid, meaning he was the worst spender and it was just him as president no pandemic responsible. In the last half a century 100% of republican presidents have crashed our economy by the time they left office. Almost all of them coming in during a stable economy. This includes Donald Trump, who was falling into recession even before Covid. Covid saved him from being the sole reason for his crash. The last democrat to crash the economy was Jimi Carter in the late 70’s. Voting Republican guarantees 100% a crashed economy, based on THEIR OWN track record. Donald Trump is already on course to crash his second term, and he’s already tried to raise the debt limit, so he can have more money to spend, even though it’s not due to raise for two more years. Zero republicans have anything room to talk about all the debt. And they only ever cut social programs, but always make room for rich guy tax cuts and the military

Since 1953 the United States has had 13 economic collapses. 12 of those was under Republican dominated government. Each one of them did the most to increase inflation, and hurt our pay that never increased, so we’re all just poorer after each collapse. I hate democrats, but what I hate more are 12 out of 13 economic collapses. Every single republican in my life has come into office with a booming economy and crashed it by the time they left office….every single one of them including Trump. He came into a booming economy made it better for two years and yet it was crashed AGAIN by the time he left office. As far as the boarder- republicans have had total control over the government many times since the last immigration laws, which haven’t been changed in 70 years, Trump had total power to change our boarder laws, and did zero. He proposed a wall, which does nothing to stop immigration, or illegals. He could have closed the boarder if he wanted through laws, and only had to deal with catching people trying to break in, but he did zero. It only felt better because he used title 42 which is an old war law that says during an attack on America in a war or in this case a world sickness. It was only usable during Covid, but why didn’t they change the laws? No democrat could have stopped him, but he still did nothing but for face value temporary solutions that made people feel better but never were going to last. I also can’t stand Biden, but he’s the only president in those 70 years to make an immigration law change. He said any person applying for refugee status will be denied unless they opt for refugee status in every country that’s safe enough along the way. First president in 70 years, and it’s a great change, because before you couldn’t deny anyone under refugee status. Another great immigration law Biden did but no other president did. We gave limited funds to remove illegal immigrants, no matter the president, and he said let’s not waste our money on just any illegal, let’s get the dangerous ones, and he set a task force to hunt all the dangerous illegals. That means we are actually safer from dangerous illegals than we were begging, but those are literally the only two immigration changes in 70 years no matter what party was in power. Do what you want but if you don’t want another crashed economy don’t vote republican. I don’t care what other party you choose, but they keep crashing us. Not one in my whole life hasn’t.

You wanna know what happened to our paychecks Reagan, by breaking down unions. Reagan also removed the regulation that protected us from crooked bank and Wall Street actions which led to every crash sense. And it was his cabinet that brought back citizens United, which allows corporate money to go into elections and from that point on every election has been purchased by the Rich. Want to know what happened to our Healthcare? Nixon made it for profit and people took it as a business to make money over cost of actually doing the job which took things like insulin from 10 $10-$300 and the number one reason Americans go bankrupt. Do you wanna know what happened to our freedom to not be spied on by our government? Bush Junior expended the NSA to spy on regular Americans which was against the law when he did it, but in order to escape jail, made it legal because he had a full Republican house senate and presidential control of government at the time. Bush Junior, not anybody else that includes Biden, took gas from one dollar a gallon to five dollars a gallon, and we’ve never recovered from any of them. Two of the worst crashes in our entire cultures history Reagan and Bush Junior. The American dream was effectively killed by those three presidents. I am 45 years old in my entire lifetime 100% of Republican presidents have come into office and crash the economy by the time they left office, this includes Donald Trump. Donald Trump, one of the least fiscally responsible presidents in our history. And also possibly the worst in foreign affairs as the Israel and Ukraine were directly influenced by his involvement. I’ll give you a direct example. He told Netanyahu to finish the job in Gaza and that America would support him if he did. He also recognized Jerusalem as the headquarters of Israel, which is a historic no. As it was always said that that would be World War level instigation from that point on, and he told Putin that if he attacked Ukraine, America would standby and do nothing and then he defunded Ukraine.

Democrats have indeed brought up the border in fact during the election year multiple times and have even tried to pass a bill, which has everything Republicans have ever said they wanted in every single speech they’ve ever made in government involving border regulation changes. However, the only people who don’t want to sign it or Republicans. By the way, the Republicans have held the presidency house and Senate and Supreme Court, a number of times since the last immigration law reform and they have zero times changed immigration law. Zero that includes Donald Trump, who only use a temporary already existing law that was only usable during Covid, which means he didn’t intended to be anything other than temporary, even though he had total control of government for half of his presidency meaning he could’ve easily made border law changes and didn’t. At this moment in history, I’ll 70 years of immigration law. The only people to ever try to make immigration law reform that’s everything Republicans said that they wanted our Democrats even the Republicans could have at least 8 to 10 times in that period of time so I don’t think that they can argue that they are immigration reform because they haven’t done anything and appear to be the only ones holding up the reform and I would say oh maybe if there was something else in those bills, but there isn’t the only thing in those bills are exactly Republicans have been arguing that they want, and they’re the only ones not signing it and Donald Trump also told him not to sign it. Which means you can’t even say he would do better because he’s already not doing better.

Only two presidents in our history ever balance the budget one of them was Bill Clinton. Making Bill Clinton, the most physically responsible president in our lifetimes and many lifetimes. In fact, as there were only two. High taxes have absolutely benefited our budget. And they have not hurt the income of the middle class. The highest tax era of our history as well as the highest corporate regulation in our history and the highest government regulation in our history, also had the highest paid era of the middle class and literally literally created the American dream that we are known for. Meaning that right now our taxes have gone down for the rich at least our regulation is at the lowest it’s been since the 40s and our pay is the lowest it’s been since the 40s and inflation has gone up the highest it’s been since the 40s. Meaning that inflation goes up, no matter what that taxes and regulation have been beneficial to our country and that none of those things affected the average pay of American citizens. the only thing that is affected the average pay of American citizens is corporations deciding to take a bigger chunk of your paycheck and give it to themselves. We have a direct example of this as CEO pay the same time that worker pay has gone down their pay has gone up tremendously. Employers do not pay for employees. Employees pay 100% for themselves. Every single dollar they earn all of the hidden dollars you don’t know that they earn that go towards things like Medicare or taxes, etc., and enough excess that the company sees value in hiring them at all. The company makes money off of Your productivity. Both the employer and the employee make their money out of the productivity of the employee. There is no reason that all of the extra productivity that we have advanced over the last several decades should go into the hands of the CEOs and from the hands of the workers producing it. we have not been getting our compensation. Yes, taxing the Rich will for sure. Dramatically help cut down the deficit. It will also allow us to pay for the services that keep our country running as well as we should reinstate a lot of the regulation that was regulated that ultimately cost us more money in the form of crumbling infrastructure masses of homeless due to lack of funding that was removed mostly under the Reagan administration and saw the first big wave of homelessness of which that homeless population has caused societies to have higher rates of crime and damage, etc. that the people who live there pay for so we gave tax breaks to the rich, but it hurt our society and we all pay for it making our pay go down.removed funding from our education which we can tell by today’s market how badly we need higher education in this country. We need to return the union Strong error that was deregulated and broken down under the Reagan administration, which is led to the lowest wages in our history since the creation of the American dream.

The highest tax era in our entire countries history, as well as the most regulated era in our history as well as the era that had the most social programs government programs in our history also created the American dream. It was the first time in the entire world where the masses of a country had been so successful. It was the largest middle-class to ever exist. Which means that high taxes, high regulation and high social government programs had nothing to do with the lack of success Americas middle class has today that is dwindling. In fact, those programs being deregulated have all led to us being more poor. The deregulation era is literally the marker of when the middle class started to shrink. The trickle down economics that never ever happened and the only thing that ever happened was we got more poor. And the rich took the taxes that we paid into the system that normally went to ourselves they gave it to themselves making themselves more rich. And then they use that wealth to control our government against us to continue the process. It appears that the only thing that made us more poor with less pay was through that deregulation. Because those rich companies kept all the social safety nets that benefit their companies, but got rid of all the regulation that prevented them from abusing, our system. Meanwhile, trying to spend the entire time of this last 50 years, convincing you that we should get rid of our own safety nuts. Let’s make America great again. Bring back the very high taxes on the Rich bring back the heavy regulation. Bring back all those government programs that used to make us the leaders in every field worldwide. Let’s also listen to that era that had a healthy healthcare system by ending for profit medicine. It has completely changed the course of where we take medicine . Taking it from looking for cures to finding treatments. It deregulated, allowing food, companies or farms from putting poison in our food. And for the first time in all world history, a wealthy countries life expectancy has gone down. We are the only country in the world that this is true. healthcare is the number one reason people go bankrupt in America. Solely impacting the middle class as the rich can afford their healthcare. The poor have healthcare, but nothing to offer their children features, however, the middle-class are destroyed by it. but it impacts all your hard work. Everything that you have worked for to pass onto your children has been taken by the healthcare industry by the time you get old. All because of four profit Healthcare. there are a few places where private entity has been a major harm to our economy overall. Oil. Oil has been the biggest cracks on our economy. Because of its privatization. It should not be a four private industry. It is two interconnected to the stability of our economy, and two of the worst economic crashes that we have had in the last 50 years. We’re both due to oil companies literally just gouging. Which means they just charged more for no reason. it crashed the most successful economy we’ve had in 50 years. We have never recovered from it and it caused the highest inflation we’ve had in history recently. Just because they felt like it, and just like that our economy successful as it was just went down. Homes were lost jobs were lost and we had to start base again to work all way back up. All because oil companies monopolize the system and overcharged because they felt like it. Had those been a government. Owned resource. They would have the lowest prices as they would be no profit to be made. It would just be for the gain of our country. And we would have more control over how it is used or manipulated. As if they hurt our economy by overcharging, we could get rid of them. Teach them a lesson. But you can’t do that with private business. that never would’ve happened. And we would still be riding high on the success of that last massive economy that we had in the 90s. We never would’ve crashed that.sometimes when something is too important, you can’t leave it up to private investors. Which is why we have government.

Sometimes I watch Congress and I am so ashamed at how high school in a small town it is. This is our government, they act like children. They have none of the accountability of a regular job. They get all this money, fantastic severance, and universal healthcare. This is the best we get, half assed, children, explains everything that’s wrong with our entire country and most of what’s wrong with the world, grow up, get to business, earn your money. This is week, and they act like the poor are getting a free ride. Hilarious.
