Seniors on fixed incomes are getting hit even harder this year. Medicare going up and reduced services, advantage plans being dumped or becoming more unaffordable, prescription drugs rates going up or being denied by insurance.
Grocery prices going up.
GOP better slow down on foreign interventions and focus on issues at home.
We know where the price rises began and who done it. We know how hard it is to fix that. But....it could be a real issue for exploitation come mid term.
“GOP better slow down on foreign interventions and focus on issues at home.”

I could not agree more. Consumers are carrying record levels of debt (at high interest rates), evidently the result of trying to maintain their lifestyles by borrowing. At some point the growing debt service burden will impact their spending habits and the economy will slow down. I think this pull back has already started. There are signs that prices on some highly discretionary items are softening.
But back to you main point, there is much to do here at home to strengthen and grow the economy. Too much time, energy and resources are being diverted to foreign “projects” making the GOP increasingly at risk of ignoring the oft mentioned admonishment “It’s the economy, stupid!”
The GOP needs to be seen as being dedicated to “America First” lest it pay a price in the mid-terms.
