    Government disconnectedness

    So just in the last few days we have has these policy events

    1) Cutting inflation through government spending. Say what?
    2) Increasing corporate taxes which negatively effects American manufacturing
    3) Subsidizing American chip manufacturing through TAX CREDITS because not producing chips here is a threat to national security
    What about energy independence Joe?

    Does anyone see or care how disconnected and just plain scattered this is?

    Agree. Politicians are doing what is good for them and their largest contributors.

    These local DAs letting violent criminals go is not helping them but Soros is buttering their bread.
    Biden selling out US consumers and manufacturing while dropping tarrifs on Chinese manufacturers. China has been buttering his bread for many years.
    Let's go Brandon !!!

    I posted a thread on this very subject today because it is an obvious Biden Administration lame attempt at distraction from far more critical issues. Here is a little Government handout on the taxpayers while we undermine all else, especially our vital energy sector and job creation........

    It is not about climate change or racism or anything thing else but consolidating power. It is all about control.

    Once again you know what the DI said about opinions. The thread is a biased list of one person's BS with no references or sources or data. It is an example of a thread I did on stupidity. Why are so many Americans shouting nonsense to the choir and why is the choir listening and even cheering. A great read below but do these people read - If a Russian troll I understand, it's a job.

    "Polarization is normal. Skepticism about liberal democracy is also normal. And the appeal of authoritarianism is eternal."
