A landslide win driven by economic frustration runs headlong into the challenge of making American life more affordable
COLUMBUS, Ohio—Tom Green had a wish list when he cast his vote in the Democratic Party’s midterm landslide last week: Tougher rules on AI data centers. Universal healthcare. Better job protections.
The 29-year-old software engineer helped elect Sherrod Brown to the Senate and Amy Acton to the governor’s office. Both Democrats pledged to stop energy-hungry AI data centers from raising consumers’ electricity bills. Brown aims to cap utility rate increases and control prescription-drug prices. Acton promises to forgive medical debt and deliver tax breaks to families.
The voters who powered the Democrats’ triumph in the midterms delivered a blunt message: Make the economy work for us. Now, Democrats must deliver.
Whether they can isn’t assured, despite the party’s pending control of the House and Senate. Many demands are beyond the reach of lawmakers to fix. The main tools of Congress, taxes and spending, are limited and slow-moving—and lawmakers still face Trump’s veto.
The new majority may struggle to stop the war in Iran, which has driven up energy prices in the months since President Trump’s decision to attack. Gasoline prices, largely set by global energy markets, could remain high even if the war ends.
In the Senate, Democrats are teeing up votes to repeal Trump’s tariffs on Canada, part of his global trade war that has contributed to rising prices. Yet they acknowledge that stricter limits to presidential tariff authority—which Trump has taken to its limits worldwide—could be vetoed and would likely have to wait for another administration.
Satisfying voter wishes also could have unintended consequences. Curbing...

Sounds like Tom Green is a real retro retard.
The Democrats are anti-tariff free traders? Really? Since when?
The tariffs were endorsed by all the major union leaders. Protectionism is an old line Democrat party line. And um...now they don’t like them?
Hilarious.
Tax the rich and give the confiscated money to lazy people who don’t bother acquiring work skills and prefer to free load from the taxpayers.
They can stop the war, reverse the Medicaid cuts and save rural hospitals, and begin the oversight hearings on the war and many of Trump’s other misfires like DOGE.
They will fix the economy by impeaching Trump. That’s about all they’ve come up with so far.
There isn’t a damn thing they can do. lol....Voters are just plain ignorant.
I’m hesitating on what to root for.
If the improving stock market, dropping inflation, dropping gas and food prices go on until November, 2028 will the people say “Oh, how lovely the socialist takeover is. Wish we had ousted the GOP earlier.” Or....Trump and conservative policy finally worked as the Iran War was over?
All those governors and mayors who were elected as Dems and Socialists need jobs, lower prices and a good feeling to look good in 2028. So does the House and Senate. “We got America moving again and got the money from the top billionaires to the working families who deserve it through socialism.”
It'll be interesting to see if a Google search even finds one mention of it anywhere 2025 or 2026.
preciously.
preciously.
They lied. It worked. Let’s move on.
Can do or will do. Impeachment and persecutions are all they’re concerned with. Fixing things? Meh!
The Plunder Party will just take us back to the Biden years. They can’t help themselves, it’s in their DNA.

Nasdaq, S&P 500 Suffer Biggest Market Cap Losses on Record
By
WSJ Staff”
I believe that people need to keep up
This is being described as an “oh *€~* democrats won” record loss two days after this election
Not anyone with a sound mind, my guess, believes the democrats will fix the economy. Nor do they give any part of a rats butt whether our military leaves the waters around Iran where there have been zero casualties in the past six months. That is a way lower number than the amount of military casualties due to normal ops and training
.......Democrats Promised to Fix the Economy. What Can They Really Do?.....
They can make everything “Noo”!
Haw-haw!!
‘Rats can produce more rat do-do.
‘Rats can produce more rat do-do.
Finger bounce on an iPad?
