As affordability concerns mount, Hill Republicans are struggling to act

[Ol Janx Spirit]

6. This is like a pyromaniac being concerned about what people will think about all the buildings burning down....

What part of Republican policy over the last 50 years been geared towards helping ordinary Americans afford anything?

In fact, they have actively blocked efforts by Democrats to actually help ordinary Americans afford things like healthcare, childcare, starter homes, education, and almost anything else you can mention at every turn.

Look at the total meltdown they have had over trying to make healthcare affordable for Americans since way before the ACA even.

Republicans can't care about corporate profits and affordability at the same time. They can not care about tax cuts for billionaires and making things affordable for ordinary families at the same time.

Quite the contrary. Their policies have made most things more expensive for ordinary Americans while transferring their generational wealth to the top 1%. They've also done everything in their power to undermine even basic protections and other policies that make work-life tolerable for ordinary Americans.

But they've done a heck of a job convincing a lot of those ordinary Americans that it is all worth it because of God, guns, and the individual freedom to be a jerk to all those around you--and that they just might somehow be billionaires one day.

But good luck with affordability GOP! Your entire mindset will need to change. But you are following a madman into the abyss as we speak, so I guess nothing is really off the table.
