Why does it seem that every Democrat administration, once in office, immediately tells us, the American populace, that we will have to downsize and do with less?

I don't recall any GOP administration doing this. And yet, so many people still vote Dem!

Actually, many American should downsize. Become less consumerist and materialist. We also need to:

* Rely less on cheap immigrant labor.

* Rely less on cheap foreign imports.

* Pay native born Americans an honest day's wage for an honest day's work.

* Institute tariffs to promote high-paying manufacturing jobs, even if it does raise prices.

Conservatism should move toward populism and nationalism, and be less enamored of materialistic capitalism, which is the flip side of materialistic communism.

We are not widgets. We are not Economic Man. There's more to being an American than what you put on a balance sheet.

Conservatism should promote Patriotism, Heritage, Community, the Constitution, and Christianity. Not how to maximize profits for globalist billionaires.

Partner, it ain't happening this cycle.

We do not see the DemonRat party going back on their word and the DemonRat party will lose very badly.
