Until inflation hits and people start getting their heating oil bills.

I would be using what was in the bill in every GOP ad. Show images of goose stepping IRS agents and factories laying off employees.

Add to that no jobs, EMPTY SHELVES, fights over rotten food, and $10 a gallon gas.

Even with a historically high inflation and a tremendously unpopular President, the GOP is having a hard time winning the House. No one is talking about winning the Senate any more.

All eyes and ears are on Trump. No one cares about Biden’s so called victories.

What gets me the most about this scam, is it commits to reducing our current CO2 by 40% by 2030. Even 25% would destroy the economy as we know it and anyone thinking solar, windmills pick up that slack…is nuts.
