The government "fixed" healthcare & prices skyrocketed
The government "fixed" education & learning nose-dived as administrative salaries grew
The government "fixed" financial crises, & printed money stole your purchasing power
We keep asking the arsonist to put out the fire
A four-year college now costs $100,000.
In 1980 it cost $8,000 in today's money. Nothing else inflated like that.
How?
Washington guaranteed every loan. Universities charged what they wanted. Bankruptcy law was rewritten so you can't escape.
By design.
The reason life feels like it’s gotten twice as expensive since Covid is because the dollar has lost 50 percent of its purchasing power since 2019. That’s a huge collapse that almost no one is talking about
Massie's margins with young and working-age voters are impressive. The youth are alright. The Boomers, on the other hand, need to be separated from Fox News like a drug addict from crack cocaine.
Thomas Massie in his concession speech: "While gas is almost $5 a gallon and diesel is almost $6, they're talking about this big ballroom...It looks like the Roman Empire. I see a few analogies there..."
Ed Gallrein’s campaign has truly shown me how many gullible double digit IQs exist. It’s not that they support Ed, they are just doing as they were told.
Thanks to Donald Trump, we now have two Democratic parties. With the defeat of @RepThomasMassie for being a principled fiscal conservative, the Republican Party basically exists in name only. We have two big-government political parties, each offering its own brand of socialism.
More money is being spent to defeat @RepThomasMassie than any other U.S. House member in history.
Not because he can single-handedly change legislative outcomes—he has just one vote.
But because he exposes the lies and corruption of those who hold political and financial power.
I'd imagine this is pretty close to what the results would be nationally as well
There’s a serious generational divide, but it’s really a cable news vs. new media divide
The reason healthcare costs are destroying Americans is because of 60 years of EVIL politicians like @SenSanders. Follow the path. In 1960 Americans paid for their own healthcare and costs were manageable. LBJ created Medicare and Medicaid in 1965, severing the connection between patient and payment. Nixon signed the HMO Act in 1973, restructuring how Americans access care. Each intervention distorted the market. Each distortion was used to justify the next intervention. Bush added Medicare Part D. Obama mandated you buy insurance from private companies under penalty of law. Spending went from $353 per capita in 1970 to over $15,000 today. A 600% increase in real terms.
Now you point to the wreckage your ideology created and say the solution is more of it. You do not have a right to another person's labor. A doctor spent a decade learning his skill. A nurse works 12 hour shifts. You cannot claim their effort as something owed to you because you need it. That is not a right. That is servitude.
Every country with universal healthcare rations care, restricts access, and depends on American pharmaceutical innovation to survive. You want to kill the only system still producing cures.
