There’s an apocryphal story from the 1960s about Playboy’s list of the Top 10 party schools that inexplicably omitted the University of Wisconsin. As the editors explained to many letter writers the following month, “We didn’t think it was fair to rank the professionals among the amateurs.”
Republicans are the “Freak Show”? Au contraire. Since President Joe Biden took office, prices of goods and services have increased by nearly 20%, far outpacing wage growth over the same period. Talk to ordinary consumers and many will tell you prices have increased even faster than the topline figures suggest. According to a recent study by the U.S. Senate Joint Economic Committee, ordinary households are spending nearly $11,500 more per year to maintain the same standard of living as in January 2021.
At some point I have to believe people will start asking how we got here and begin corrective action. I heard a GOP House member on a radio show complain that Biden was allowing China to take over Brazil, a county in our own hemisphere. If you don’t understand that comment, look it up. This person, steeped in ignorance, gets to vote on us going to war, among other things.
