There are plenty of reasons we can look at this midterm election as extremely important, but the one thing that will change everything depending on who wins is the fate of the U.S. Dollar.
Every American has at least one issue that resonates with them, that drives how they vote on election day. Many of us have several issues that are important to us. And even though standard operating procedure in modern day elections is to fall back on the words of James Carville, “It’s the economy, stupid,” we’ve seen many elections in which emotion drove the decision-making process rather than purely financial considerations.
Going into Tuesday’s midterm elections, the economy is at top of mind. The last time we had an election that was so focused on reversing our fiscal misfortunes was 1980. That was a presidential election during a very different era, so even though we have a wider array of issues on the ballot today, it’s conspicuous that the economy has been so dominant in polls. But here’s the thing. No matter how much an average American believes the economy is the biggest thing on the ballot, it’s actually much bigger than that. It’s everything.
This election isn’t just about fixing the economy, lowering inflation, preventing recession, or improving the job market. This election is about preserving the status of the U.S. Dollar itself. If Democrats are able to maintain control of the House and Senate, I’d make the not-so-bold prediction that they will continue to bring us closer to full-blown economic collapse. That’s what they’ve been doing for two years.
Unfortunately, those who think the Republicans can fix things if the anticipated red wave isn’t thwarted by massive, widespread voter fraud are being far too hopeful. Republican majorities in the House and/or Senate will only slow the bleeding. Without veto-proof majorities in both chambers, they will not be able to pass meaningful economic legislation that can become law. They’ll be delaying our nation’s demise if they can win, and at this point we’ll take the delay.
The real benefit of Republican majorities in DC that coincide with big America First victories at the state level (Kari Lake in Arizona and Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania come to mind) is in allowing the American people an extended opportunity to turn things around. It is US who can fix the economy. This happens at the personal level by improving our own financial status and it happens at the national level when enough Americans work to get the economy rolling again. It’s small business owners and hard-working American citizens making good financial decisions that will save this nation if it is to be saved.
That cannot happen on a wide-enough scale if Democrats retain control for the next two years. In fact, I would go so far as to say our economy will crash before the 2024 election if Democrats can cheat their way to subvert the coming red wave on Tuesday.
Let’s be clear. Republican control on Capitol Hill with Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy calling the shots will NOT be able to fix things. Even some of the “fiscally conservative” Republicans in Congress go along with bloated budgets in order to maintain their status in the caucus with McConnell and McCarthy in charge. GOP leadership is generally feckless, but I’ll take feckless over destructive any day. Democrat leadership is destructive, as we’ve learned very clearly the last two years with their control of the House, Senate, and White House.
We need strong leadership that gets out of the way of the American people. The GOP won’t be strong, but at least they won’t be as actively and aggressively working against the American people the way Democrats are doing right now. The leadership we need will be among the people, not politicians. If the red wave does materialize, I’ll post about what is needed from the people. Let’s see the red wave happen first.
Some will balk when I note that President Trump was not exactly fiscally responsible when he was in office, but the difference was his administration and Congress at the time were working on the premise of a strong and growing U.S. economy. When economic prospects are as high as they were in the pre-plandemic days, we can forgive some of the fiscal irresponsibility that was being practiced with massive budgets and spending. Personally, I would prefer strong economic periods be used to pay down our debt with tightened budgets but at least they weren’t spending like crazy with money that wasn’t there.
Today, the Biden-Harris regime is doing just that: Spending like crazy with money that isn’t there and limited prospects of sufficient funds coming in. This is why I’ve long said the ultimate goal of the regime is to force America to fully adopt Modern Monetary Theory. In essence, they want to print money to pay for bills. This will quickly erode the dollar’s worldwide value and the reliance inherent in the world’s reserve currency. As a result, the dollar’s status will drop like a rock. When that happens, we can expect a full-blown economic collapse that will decimate the United States.
Sean Patrick Maloney suggests we all live on canned pasta to “fight inflation.
Who remembers him?
The democrat who flew to Paris just to feast on French champaign and hors d’oeuvres.
Also the democrat who used his donated campaign funds just to “keep” his body man happy.
At least Heinz decided to nix its Christmas Soup.
That was a yucky combo of turkey chunks, sprouts, stuffing balls and tiny pigs-in-blankets all in a creamy gravy soup with cranberries.
Trump added nearly as much to the national debt in 4 years as Obama did in 8.
Nah. Obama and Biden jacked up the debt.
Not Trump.
Trump leveraged it. It’s what responsible business people do.
Obama led us out of the 2007-2008 recession into 75 consecutive months of GDP growth. Deficits rapidly plummeted.
Nah. Obama was terrible and is also a war criminal.
Deficits went down… after Obama drove them up to $1.4 trillion a year. Weak growth, lethargic economy, a complete and utter failure. Trump revitalized the economy.
Trump’s irresponsible tax cuts and skyrocketing deficits set us up for uncontrolled inflation and an inevitable bust. The man is incompetent.
Nah. Trump was raking in Billions from tariffs while pulling needless funding to NATO.
Biden killed the economy. Not Trump.
Perhaps you shouldn’t have released Covid-19?
Trump’s tariffs set off a trade war that raised US consumer prices to a degree equivalent to one of the largest tax increases in US history. For most US households, this wiped out any benefit of his tax reductions.
Nope, wrong again. Trump had China on the verge of accepting fair trade deals until Democrats made it clear they would undercut every one of his policies (in order to continue lining their own pockets); then China pulled out of agreements.
Tax cuts increased tax revenues and grew the economy. Democrats are of a one-track mind: take money through higher and higher taxes, never understanding this stifles growth. We had no inflation until idiot Biden implemented his ruinous policies. Reject the propaganda, accept the truth. You’ll feel better about it.
Trump has support and followers.
Biden does not.
And in case some asshat troll says Trump voters are a “cult,” a reminder of what the Left is:
