Republicans in the District of Columbia are counting on the madness and inertia of the Democratic socialists to bring them an excellent 2022 election result. The (so-called) two-party system makes the Republican Party the only non-crazy entity-so they will get votes in November next year.
But DC Republicans have been messing up. The key to this plan is differentiation. You cannot join the DC Democrats and their socialist insanity. If you keep making it look like the two-party system is actually a one-party conspiracy-you will undermine the “we are not them” strategy.
We have a little Inflation problem. Largely caused by the government Trillions of dollars printed -So it can spend them.
The Democrats are trying to sell their trillion-dollar reconstruction plan (no way) Better consumption—— As an antidote to inflation. This is like saying that the solution to gasoline fires is to increase gasoline.
This is after President Joe Biden’s third (or fourth) signing of DC in March China virus costs. This is (at least) 2 trillion dollars-mostly printed.
Republicans calculate wisely Zero votes For that crazy. Provide a ubiquitous distinction between themselves and the Democratic Party.
But somehow, some Republicans have since become more stupid. Or, if you want, return to form.
Biden just signed into law Fake infrastructure costs a palooza. This is also (at least) $2 trillion-mostly printed.
In addition to many people, many Republicans have forgotten the differentiation strategy. nineteen Republican senators and 13 Republican congressmen voted for this stupidity.
This is after Republicans have shown us many horrors of Democratic government spending over the past few months (and years). But you can’t say something like this on November 17th:
When Biden signed the Democratic Party’s last tax and spending frenzy on November 15th-you voted. That is not differentiation. That is GOP DC assimilation.
The DC assimilation of the Republican Party continues (to reveal itself). Some Republicans are bragging about it…
Grossman introduces bipartisan veterans and consumers fair credit bill:
“Congressmen Glenn Grossman (R-WI) and Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D-IL) today introduced the Bipartisan Veterans and Consumer Fair Credit Act (VCFCA).”
What is VCFCA? This is a socialist price cap bill. That is, the upper limit of the loan interest rate.
and The Extremely Bad Socialist National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) like it.
The price cap-as always, everywhere-a terrible idea.
Price control-whether temporary or permanent is a bad idea
Limit energy prices?Still a bad idea
Health insurance prices limit a bad idea
Why?
Price controls lead to shortages:
“Price control is advocated as a method of controlling inflation. People think that inflation means price increases, and it only exists when merchants raise prices. From this view, it seems to be possible to conclude that if price control only prohibits prices Rising, then inflation will not exist.
“In fact, this view of inflation is very naive. Rising prices are only the main symptom of inflation, not the phenomenon itself. Inflation may exist, and it will indeed accelerate, even if this particular symptom does not appear.
“Inflation itself is not an increase in prices, but an excessive increase in the quantity of money, which is almost always caused by the government. In fact, a good definition of inflation is simple: the increase in the quantity of money caused by the government… .
“Implementing price control to deal with inflation is as illogical as trying to deal with boiler pressure expansion by manipulating the pointer in the boiler pressure gauge. It is also self-destructive, and…
“From the perspective of explaining all other results, one of the core, basic and most important results of price control is that price control leads to shortages.
“Shortage is when buyers seek to buy more than the seller is willing and able to sell. In a shortage, someone is willing and able to pay a controlled price for a certain commodity, but they cannot get it. They cannot get the benefit at all.
“The experience of a gasoline shortage in the winter of 1974 should make everyone aware of this concept. Drivers in long lines have money to buy gasoline and are willing, even eager, to spend the money on gasoline. Their problem is that they can’t get it at all. Gasoline. They are trying to buy more gasoline than available…
“(I) If there is price control for something, its scarcity will develop or worsen, and the result will be a shortage or an increase in the shortage. Scarcity may lead to a shortage or aggravate the shortage, but only in the case of price control. If it does not exist Price control, the development or deterioration of scarcity will not cause any shortage…”
The effect of the interest rate ceiling is to make it more difficult for veterans to obtain loans. Because veterans can get much less loans.
Republican Grossman is bragging about his bipartisan Washington Assimilation Act to achieve this goal.
This is another nail in the differentiation of DC GOP, the “we are not them” coffin.
I wish you all a happy 2022 election.
