I'm staggered by the near complete lack of leadership in this country.

Where are the politicians working to bring manufacturing of goods, pharmaceuticals, fertilizers, etc. back to this country. Two things off the top of my head:

1) Trump raised tariffs on certain Chinese imports. Why are we not doing this again.

2) I may be wrong, but at one time I think there was discussion of tax incentives for businesses who reshored their overseas manufacturing. Why are we not doing this now?

Everybody just seems to buy into this idea that there is nothing that can be done and we are at the mercy of Russia/Ukraine or China. That is simply not true. I see Jim said, drill, baby, drill. Yes, absolutely, we can drill our way out of this just like we did before.

Yes, we DO have a magic wand.

But here we are, a bunch of American sad sacks. A bunch of vidiots who have surrendered everything to whatever the idiots on TV say. Americans have been completely talked into completely losing their mojo, as if all the testosterone in this country has simply drained away into the sea.

Heartbreakingly sad.

This is the reason coming mid-term election should be a catastrophic loss for Dems. It is not enough, but at least the start. They don't give up their agenda easily. To them, it is their religion and part of their identity.

“Heartbreakingly sad.”

Agreed.
