I'm concerned about crime, inflation and immigration too.

It's not possible to reconcile support for the GOP as the party of law and order when they do nothing but justify the Trump Insurrection, which was not only an attack on our democracy, and on the Constitution and the rule of law, but also a direct attack on the Capitol and Washington police departments who were deliberately left short-handed there by the instigator of the insurrection. If the Trump administration were really concerned about law and order, and about the crime rate, which started heading to where it is now during his administration, their budget commitments would have reflected this desire. Depending on how you categorize the expenses, the Biden Administration spends 35% more on first responders, police and fire fighters, than Trump's administration, which ran up the biggest deficit in the nation's history on tax cuts, did.

The pandemic disrupted employment, displaced workers, caused early retirements and produced supply chain problems and product shortages. In a capitalist economy, supply and demand drives prices of consumer goods. And, of course, many of the major corporations, those who have the capital to weather the storm, want to reclaim "lost profits" due to the downturn in business resulting from the pandemic so they are charging higher prices now. It's starting to balance out, because people aren't buying the goods at the high prices.

The Biden administration is doing exactly what I would expect them to do with the immigration that is headed our way. We are a haven, a refuge for the oppressed, the hope of the world and the most prosperous country in it, with resources that go well beyond our ability to care for any individual who manages to reach our border. Our policy should be to listen to them and their story, offer them food, drink and shelter and ask how we can help.

1. The same here. And I know Republicans have zero plans to fix any of it.

I believe a lot of voter’s share the author’s perspective. Fingers crossed that the so call ‘Red Wave’ fizzles out on the 8th.
