Reagan had a persuasive ability to often bring House Speaker Tip O'neill toward his political goals. However, O'neill snookered Reagan on amnesty for immigrants; naturally they made a deal and then the 'Rats reneged on their obligation.
Yes, changing the tax code to reduction raises revenues! We have known this for at least a century yet to say so to a Demo'Rat is like waving a red flag in front of an angry bull. They are not interested in raising the living standard of the middle class - DESPITE Hakeem Jeffries constantly posting on X that they are fighting for the middle class - they are interested in the (federal) government being the source of all things and capitalism is like a pandemic disease.
Reducing taxes and suffocating govt regulations and somehow increasing productivity could help with stagflation. Carol Roth says an AI miracle could improve productivity enough to help; I am a bit doubtful as that sort of increase in productivity often costs higher unemployment. 🤷♂️ The fast food industry in California is facing that dilemma right now. I suspect the fast food industry there is dead if the people don't wise up and get rid of their Demo'Rat autocratic oligarchy.
Gaetz rocks the DS plot every time he opens his mouth in committee. Astonishing, actually. Wow.

BREAKING: Secretary Lloyd Austin ADMITS likelihood of shooting warfare between U.S. service members and Gaza forces soon 👇
GAETZ: “This is a very telling moment, Mr. Secretary, because you’ve said something that’s quite possible that could happen. Shots from Gaza on our service members, and then the response, our armed service members shooting live fire into Gaza. That is a possible outcome here so that we can become the Port Authority and run this pier, right?
@SecDef AUSTIN: “That’s correct.” https://x.com/repmattgaetz/status/1785339019213058519?s=46
