    Whether the former reduces inflation will depend on whether a delicate scaffolding of assumptions holds true.
    So the Rich Man's Tax Relief Act was not inflationary, but the Student Loan Forgiveness Act was. What about all the other rich people's bailouts and tax cuts? Seems like a double standard.

    Here the other day, in perhaps the most liberal county in a quite liberal state, our elected fire commissioners appointed someone to fill a vacant seat until the next election for the spot, ~2 years out.

    They had only one applicant, after 2 months outreach.

    They appointed the sole applicant. Even though community members had pointed out to the commissioners the applicant's public social media pages, which were festooned with QAnon conspiracy stuff, stop-the-steal/patriot posturing, anti-vax/anti-science nonsense, misogyny, anti-LGBTQ posturing, and so forth.

    So, there's that datapoint.

    Taxes are the least of worries.... again showing money is your priority.... which is laughable since traitor Johnson wants to reduce social security and medicare (or eliminate if he could). I would imagine as a prior cop you need those for your retirement. Shoot yourself in the foot.

    I never said that. I don’t like anybody’s deficits. But I do think the current one’s are especially large. And I really don’t like it when they get created by executive fiat instead of an act of Congress.

    There are any number of reasons to vote against Barnes that have little to do with money. He sneered at the cops the whole time Kenosha was burning while spending taxpayer funds on private security for himself. He supports a law for the de facto federal takeover of state elections. He’s always been a willing pawn of public employee unions.

    I’m not sure where you got the idea I was a cop. I’m not nearly brave enough or good enough to do that kind of work.

    I read this as the Thumper candidate, and got a nice little visual of Thumper saying nice things about everybody.

    The Democrats spent a lot of money in support of Bolduc. Maybe they didn’t get the evil traitor memo.

    Oh, and I just double-checked the list, we're also an "Immigration Sanctuary County".

    Makes sense, since we're right on the border, in the midst of traditional smuggling routes...
    I bet you are relieved people put time and effort into the first two extremely important items.
