The Midterms

What temporary promises, or temporary things, are the Democrat Politicians doing for you, right before the Midterm Elections to get to try and buy your vote?

Of course, they could have lowered gas years ago, or not highered it from the get go, but this is just one of the things that they're doing, at least until past the midterms, more than likely.

In my state, of Illinois, they've taken away the sales tax on food, at least federally, and I believe at a state level as well. This hardly does anything, with inflation so high and food and most other items being 2x double or triple the cost of what it use to be anyways.

Of course the tax only lasts until January right after the Midterms. It it wasn't being used just to look good in the midterms, then why wouldn't they make it a lot longer?

 

There is no federal sales tax. Sales tax is only a state level tax

As for Illinois, suspended until 6/30/23

 

I'll have to look into the date, but I was wrong on the federal sales tax.. There is no federal sales tax.
Any comment about the midterm promises by the Democrat Politicians?

 

"free money for everyone who votes blue and if you don't you ain't black"

 

Real Americans KNOW there is no Federal Sales Tax. That's pretty basic, and helps us place you in the space, time continuum.

These days re-election is a constant thing, so BOTH parties constantly promise things they can't deliver on ... Trump's health
care promise, Biden's debt relief promise, Trump's promise to reduce the national debt ... all BS to get votes.

It's what actually happens that politicians get judged on. Right now, it's abortion and Republicans starting to regret they voted for draconian
anti-abortions laws with no exceptions.

 

1.That's because I'm from the future. I came back in time, to save you from yourself, and making the greatest error in your life by voting for liberals. lol.

2.I may have a heart attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you actually just say that Biden's debt relief promise was bs?


Me thinks that me is getting threw to some of them. lol. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! finally! lol.

 

How DISGRACEFUL AND RUDE!!! Is that to blacks!? If any party told me, that if I didn't vote for them, just because I was any category in specific, then I aint whom I really am, that would be very prejudice and offensive to me, and it takes a lot to offend me. lol.

 

THAT IS MY VIEW.

 

Real Americans also know the difference between "threw" and "through".
And I was preaching fiscal conservancy LONG before Pravda pretended to care about it.

 

Not true. For instance right now there is a federal gas sales tax of 18.4 cents per gallon. LINK: What a federal gas tax holiday could mean for prices at the pump (cnbc.com)

 

Yes - but he was referencing food, not gas

 

I'm waiting for one of them to promise she'll build a big beautiful wall and make Mexico pay for it, repeal 'ObamaCare' and replace it with "something terrific!" that covers "everybody!', reduce the national debt and the trade deficit, lower unemployment, resurrect coal mining, revitalize the steel industry, and restore manufacturing.

Since the long-unkept promise to rebuild the nation's crumbling infrastructure was finally addressed by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, she can cross that one off her list.

 

That was a spending bill. Whether it actually results in anything real remains to be seen, but they will definitely print more money even if it's sat on.

This is where the great compromise of the 60s when Congress figured out that passing the "doing" part of legislating to the alphabet agencies and merely sitting back and approve budgets is a real serious career enhancer. Mostly because nobody can ever fathom the Agency arcana and pin any failures on anyone in Congress as opposed to the old way of getting up on the public record and defending your positions.

So that's all Congress does these day (both parties, both houses). I mean, what was the last bill of substance that passed? Obamacare maybe?

So I wouldn't bet money on anything improving with infrastructure anywhere. But a lot of folks will make a lot of money. Particularly anyone in Congress.

 

It has long been widely acknowledged that the nation's infrastructure is seriously deteriorating.

Trump promises to make infrastructure a major focus


Trump Infrastructure Bill: a $2 trillion spending plan


Trump bashes Senate Republicans, McConnell over infrastructure bill
​

How would you suggest the problem be addressed if not by Congress passing a major spending bill?

Congress passes $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill
November 5, 2021​

 

Time for the American woman to roar and be heard, there is no turning back. That's my opinion of the midterms.

 

Insisting they will build a big, beautiful wall and make Mexico pat for it?

Be wary!

Oh yeah, Buttigieg has already started handing out money to replace or simply remove "racist" freeways like I-375 in Detroit (my hometown). Yeah, that's "improving our crumbling infrastructure". Removing one whole mile of freeway in Detroit.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/d...pc=U142&cvid=cab2ec31c8954fc8a450614ede46d933

Y'all just let me know when they get to the racist freeways near you.

 

The long-delayed plan to dismantle the depressed freeway allows Michigan to move forward on its $270 million effort to transform the stretch in Detroit into a street-level boulevard, reconnecting surrounding neighborhoods and adding amenities, such as bike lanes. How would you suggest that the problem of our crumbling national infrastructure be addressed if not by Congress passing a major spending bill?

 

Oh, I'm sure that will finally make it an urban paradise after, what, 75 years?

I've lived there and witnessed everything from Coleman Young on (can't quite remember the names of the guys who are still in prison, but it's been a colorful parade to say the least). Federal bribery, meet local corruption that thrives on it.

Anyways, eventually we'll see whether it makes a difference or not. From experience my money's on "not".

 

If you expect an "urban paradise" you are being unrealistic.

The infrastructure renewal bill has long been needed, and while the $1.2 billion bill is not Trump's $2 billion bill, at least this one passed.

Allowing continued deterioration would have had deleterious consequences for the nation.

 

I've spent too much time in and around the Federal government to hold out much hope that it will do very much to make it worth the continued spiking of inflation that more money printing will bring.

But we'll see. And if you're right, I'll be the first to admit it.

 

"Sloppy" Steve Bannon insisted that the gullible morons who gave money to his "company" were going to help pay for the "big, beautiful" wall.

He lined his pockets instead.

 

Man, that was so inflammatory, and stuff!

 

Trump's fake "election fraud defense fund" picked up where Bam Bam's fleecing the weird worshipers left off.

I'm surprised there isn't a GoFundMe operation to buy Greenland.

 

Agreed absolutely and definitely not by just them. Overturning Roe was part of a coordinated attack on our rights and should serve as a warning of what all of us can expect if conservatives are not roundly and soundly defeated in all races in November
