Democratic pretensions of this year and their boasts about how much the country likes what they have done cannot conceal that the party of the Left has screwed up royally, writes hgurdon. Voters aren’t buying it.
As midterm congressional elections arrive, there’s new force to the old saw about facts, the law, and banging the table. Like a desperate attorney thumping furniture because the facts and the law undermine his argument, President Joe Biden’s Democrats are forced to make a lot of empty noise because empirical evidence and voter sentiment cut against them.
The tide has turned since it inched in Biden’s direction over the summer, and it may be picking up the pace against his party — which is to be expected. As Election Day becomes less of a hazy prospect over the horizon and more an imminent date on the calendar, voters avoid being misdirected by extraneous issues and distracting noises from the party that has nothing good to say on the subject everyone cares about.
Unemployment was already down from 15% to 6%, and inflation stood at 1.4%. No “rescue” was needed, and yet Democrats spent $1.9 trillion on left-wing pet projects, pouring excess money onto an acute shortage of goods and services, stoking inflation to 7% before the Ukraine war and the so-called “Putin price hikes” began. The Republican National Committee, grateful for Jean-Pierre’s gratuitous resupply of ammunition, tweeted out the video clip, which Arkansas Republican Sen.
When great swaths of voters, indeed nearly everyone, are noticing crossly that they’re paying 8.2% more across the board than they were a year ago and that core inflation is accelerating — it’s now 6.6% — despite scything interest rate increases from the Federal Reserve, they pay more attention to their rising credit card payments, mortgages, and car loans than to anything else.
