    Hey guys. I don’t understand. Every time we elect Republicans to run the show the economy suffers.

    But that can’t be right.

    Because they say they’re the party of fiscal responsibility.

    So can anyone make sense of this?

      The economy for the rich gets better. The rich run the corps and the gov. They’re fiscally conservative with the poors money…not the rich.

        *they’re fiscally conservative with redistributing money to the poor. All governments redistribute money, you can’t run a government without doing that. We should be making that clear, and then argue for redistribution to regular people, instead of the rich which is happening now.

      The CEO of my old company, who is middle eastern, said that “the republicans will unlock the economy”. He seemed sincere in his belief that it would be better for everyone.

      I kind of hope ICE disappears him because the irony would be weapons grade, but I’m not sure even that would get him to admit that maybe trump and musk aren’t great.
