It’s the economy and entirely about the economy. The party and candidate that addresses this solidly wins.
Low inflation, cheap gas, readily available healthcare that doesn’t cause a single citizen to go broke regardless, a solid stock market that goes steadily up, health care companies and universities reigned in and watched like the crazed, looting, thieving scumbags most of them are:
nuts and bolts, dollars and sense. If it can’t be measured it doesn’t matter. THAT is what will win the next generation.
The business of America is business- the measure of success is how well the poorest and most disadvantaged citizen is doing.
A cranky .02
“readily available healthcare that doesn’t cause a single citizen to go broke regardless”
I have suggested Medicare multiple pricing.
Providers would charge their posted selected multiple of Medicare pricing - say 1.35 or 1.5.
If Medicare would pay $16,000 for an operation and the hospital posted a multiple of 1.5, the bill to you would be $24,000.
