Economy

Admo and Archy couldn't possibly think this Abbott trucker check point thing for illegal immigration was a good thing, right? I mean this has to be trolling? Something that resulted in 0 illegal immigrants, drugs, or anything other than over 1 billion dollars lost. Surely fiscal conservatives would find this as an utter waste in lost revenue and resources by the government. Right? 

How is it that "conservatives" are willing to waste billions on a useless border wall and useless trucker check points? 

I'll agree, immigration is an important topic that needs to be addressed. But these methods are stupid and nothing more than a political stunt to make the economy worse in hopes to deflect blame on the party in charge. If that's not it, then its complete incompetence.

That's a nice personal attack, thanks. That belongs in the Shed.

But which part of "no drugs and no illegals were found by Abbott's stunt" was confusing to you?

A  funny gif that has been used in other threads outside of PR forum does not belong in the shed lol.  A question is not a personal attack. Nice try playing the victim card tho.  Again, let's agree not talk to each other and move along.

Are good, Amazing people, that have differing political opinions, views and values than you.  

Is that so wrong?  Can you not handle that?

At the end of the day, thought we were all Husker friends.

All he did was ask if you could actually think that a costly plan to combat illegal immigration and drugs, and failed at doing either, was a good thing?

Is that so wrong? Can you not handle that? :P

I would be interested in hearing what parts of this is Biden’s fault.

Well you can bet plenty will be made of him allowing more ethanol for fuel in the summer. IMO sure that will contribute to increased food prices but it also will contribute to lower fuel costs. Probably a wash at the end of the day.

There isn’t much he can do about the other things quick enough to matter. And if he did do something like relax immigration to help with the labor shortage, you can be sure at least half the people would only b!^@h about it.

It is his economy as unfair as that may actually be. Politicians can only influence so many economic matters so far, they pretty much are controlled by the market. Partisan games won’t acknowledge that reality.

Yep. 
 

So, many people have been complaining about high fuel prices which, the increases since in invasion, can directly be contributed to that invasion. He’s taken certain steps to elevate those high fuel prices. One, was to allow ethanol to be sold over summer. So, now they are going to complain about food prices. Meanwhile, farmers who are heavily Republican, are benefiting from that. 
 

Republicans are swimming in circles around this trying to blame it all on Biden. 

 
I once believed I would be buying a home in the Phoenix area for retirement...not looking good.
