I posted those poll numbers showing Biden beating trump. I just want the 2024 election to be over, and maybe trump will finally be in jail, and the Republicans can discover a new voice to lead them.

Ok then you get what they paid you for then!!!! Billionaires controlling the rest of us instead of regular Americans willing to serve one thing,?Their Country as opposed to other billionaires. So then you must therefore understand that no one has ever been hired by a poor person. Which is why Capitalism works most of the time, with that again you have in D.C. what you all deserve fat cats lining their pockets at our expense. Sad you have sunk as low as them.

processes and institutions and the values of the country which has enabled it to become, warts and all, the country it is today.

"...all of it not from drawn from a hat 'common sense' but rather from informed decision making from across multiple fields of expertise. "

[...]...Just one year from its passage, the CHIPS and Science Act has already attracted $231 billion of private investment in domestic semiconductor manufacturing before a penny of the $39 billion it allocates for subsidies and incentives has even been spent. In the third quarter of 2023 real investment in U.S. factories hit an all-time high.
P - So much for the oft repeated warning against “crowding out.”"


Bidenomics’ focus on “empowering” workers is an equally radical departure from an economic orthodoxy whose theories disingenuously ignore the role of power in determining economic outcomes while employing policies that do all they can to disempower workers. Reagan infamously broke the air traffic controllers union in 1981, firing all 11,345 striking workers and vindictively banning them from public service for life. Corporate America quickly followed his lead. Over the next four decades private sector union membership plummeted .. https://www.epi.org/unequalpower/publications/private-sector-unions-corporate-legal-erosion/ .. from over 20 percent in 1980 to barely 6 percent in 2020, an erosion of worker power that is exacerbated by a $7.25 an hour federal minimum wage that would be 63 percent higher today (nearly $12 an hour) had the wage Reagan inherited merely kept pace with inflation. By contrast, when Biden broke with tradition to join striking auto workers on the picket lines, he sent a clear a message that the balance of power was shifting. A few weeks later, Ford agreed .. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/17/uaw-ford-workers-ratify-new-contract.html .. to a contract that delivers auto workers an effective 33 percent raise. Stellantis, GM, and even non-unionized automakers quickly followed.

Contrary to the charts in the Econ 101 textbooks, employers don’t pay you what you’re worth. They pay you what you have the power to negotiate. When worker power erodes, so do real wages.

In fact, the stagnant wages of the past forty years are best understood as a feature of Reaganomics, not a bug. It is an economic ideology that sees wage suppression as an essential tool for keeping inflation low and profits high. This is the conventional wisdom that led the Federal Reserve to attempt to drive down inflation by driving up unemployment and that prompted former Clinton Treasury Secretary Larry Summers to austerely warn last year that “we need two years of 7.5% unemployment” to tame inflation. (Spoiler alert: we didn’t!...
