How can Republicans help lower inflation?

[F1fan]

As the midterms approach there is new polling that suggests voters are swinging back towards Republican candidates/party over the Democrats. The biggest issue for voters is inflation. I can see there is little a govenment can do to stop the market, social, global issues that can cause inflation. It's clear the Biden administration could have, and should have, done something sooner to intervene with the Fed to abjust interests rates. The underlying cause of inflation is nothing Biden, or Trump if he had won, could have prevented. Global energy and commodity prices have been rising due to the aftermath of the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. Oil and gas will be a huge problem come winter with fuel supplies coming from Russia and Saudi Arabia who look to be exploiting demand to limit supply and cause rates to go higher.

So with frustration mounting with inflation voters seem to think Repbulicans are better at managing the economy. What is this view baed on, as I have seen no policies comong from Republicans that cite any actual plans.

Is the swing just symbolic, or do Republicans have a pan if they re-take congress? Will they play games with Biden by passing bills that are unrealistic so Biden will veto, and make Biden look worse? This would not be taking the job seriously and only be bad faith politics.

Your thoughts? I want to hear conservtives explain how Reupblicans are an actual advantage as public servants, not rhetoric.

Probably not much more than the Democrats. Raise interest rates, increase the reserve. Either having limited success.

In political races the economy is mostly talking points. Very little the Federal government can do and with anything they try, there is no guarantees.

Regulations and mandates makes everything expensive.

Get rid of them save for the bare common sense essentials.

Well, historically, we can look back. Woodrow Wilson led the country through WW1 and brought about the post-war boom known as the Roaring 20s. The Republicans ruined it and brought us into the Great Depression. The Democrats got us out of that and led the country to another post-war economic boom which was unprecedented in U.S. history. Then, Nixon got into power and ruined it. Then, a few years later, Reagan ruined the economy even worse, possibly irrevocably.

The problem with the Democrats is that once they regained power, instead of going with the successful ideas of FDR, they chose to embrace the unsuccessful ideas of Ronald Reagan - which is what they're still doing to this very day.

Revisionist history which does not comport with the facts.

The currently leftist pushed narrative that inflation "just happens", is because of global forces, etcetera, etcetera is a falsehood. It is fodder for sheeple. Of course a nation's own actions affect its inflation. Yes, external forces have an impact. But this narrative of fatalism due to global conditions is idiocy. It is also quite transparent. Its proponents didn't claim these things when "their guy" was in power.

Republicans can help reduce inflation, once they control the Congress, in several important ways. It is outlined in their "Commitment to America" proposals.

Polls show that the public has more confidence that Republicans can handle inflation and the economy than Democrats.

Oddly experts in economics say differently. I notice you offer no evdidence for your claims here, so I will defer to experts and reject your lay beliefs.

That "plan" lacks details. So maybe you can spell out in better detail than the gop did. Can you exVlain how Republicans will do this, or are you bluffing?

Polls show that the public has more confidence that Republicans can handle inflation and the economy than Democrats.

It's pretty 50/50, but why would citizens believe this? Tax cuts for the wealthy? Budget cuts for society so school fees go up, less money for infrastructure so it crumbles, higher deficits, medical services cut, food inspections cut, health and safety cut, etc.

Please, a person that follows the Republican talking points to a T should never call others "Sheeple". You are also using a strawman argument. No one has claimed that a country cannot work to control inflation. But the facts are that inflation very often is a global phenomenon. As it is right now. I have yet to see any concrete fact based proposals by Republicans that could control inflation. All they have ever done is to demonstrate their ignorance of economics, both globally and logically.

I agree, and if they had gone with "the Bern", and if he had a majority supporting him, this country would evolve to much better off and much fairer in dealing with our atrocious wealth disparity. It also would have been much more compassionate to and compatible to the teachings of Jesus and some other religious leaders.

I wonder what would have happened if Bernie won in 2016, what a fun thought experiment. I suspect conservatives would have freaked out and try to stop his work. Look at how republicans are calling moderate democrats "socialist", so imagine if the president was an actual socialist. The USA would have been vastly better off even with Hilary. The Trump experiment was a complete failure. Shake things up? Shaking things u pmeans instability, and when has instability ever worked for a complicated society?

I'm still waiting for the forum conservatives to explain how republicans will fix inflation and improve the economy. As noted the austerity of republicans tends to damage the economy. Trickle down is still their schtick, and it never works. It only helps the rich, because once an economy hits a recession there is a lot of middle class wealth that is lost to the wealthy. Look at the housing collapse, the wealthy were able to gobble up houses that middle class families could no longer afford. Did the government bail out individual home owners? No. They bailed out banks.

Would a Trump in a second term postpone student loans to help the average citizen? No. Would he cut some of the loan balances, which might only offset the interest on the original loans? No. Why did Trump sit on the vote to make hearing aids available over the counter for most of his term? Biden just made it happen after 5 years of waiting. What solutions to immigration did Trump enforce? Remember, he caused a huge humanitarian catastrophe by caging migrants for days and days with little sanitary products. He allowed children to be separated from parents and adopted to Americans, and with no paperwork to trace them later.

Biden might not be perfect but he isn't immoral and corrupt.

Scrubbing Oppressive Federal Regulations

Your article is from 2016.
You do realize that Republicans are against regulations because they hurt corporate profits?
Republicans couldn't care less about the middle class.
Why would you support a Corporate agenda which will inevitably hurt the middle and lower classes?

The GOP and their FRight-Wing media has you trained well.

Regulations make life miserable and more expensive for people.

Why do you think Democrats typically exempt themselves all the time from the regulations they impose on others?

Regulations are typically safety laws that are introduced after people were harmed.
Republicans are against oversight and regulations because that benefits corporations and the elite.

Why do you think Democrats typically exempt themselves all the time from the regulations they impose on others?

Give me an example

I don't have enough memory nor ink in my pen to list them all individually so this is going to suffice....

How many laws does the United States have?

Like I said earlier in past postings, let's start by getting rid of that insipid Ethonal requirement in fuel to help bring the prices down being fuel is revelant right now. Plus stop the gouging of diesel fuel to help truckers by removing the regulations on regen systems , Hos hours of service etc.
