    They are primarily running on culture war grievance and that Democrats are bad.

    But what are the party's solutions for all their complaints e.g. inflation?

    Maybe try to answer his question. What is the GOP’s plan to battle inflation?

    (and spare me the whole “not elect democrats” crap)

    You can expect a rollback of all the things Biden did to Oil & Gas, including pipelines and permits. I don’t see oil prices going back below $60/barrel since it was bad financially for the producers.

    Stop funding for that many new IRS employees
    Secure the border
    Stop fentanyl coming from Mexico
    Increase defense spending
    Reduce other federal spending
    Increase police officers in the country by 200,000 - reduce crime
    Impeach Biden, Harris and head of DOJ
    Investigate social media to see if they should lose Section 230 (right number?) status making them subject to suit light other media

    See the Commitment to America for entire list.

    LOL. Those IRS employees are over 10 years and includes a wide variety of employees and IT spending as it has the most out of date systems in the federal government.

    Secure the border with what? A wall that you can climb over with a cheap ladder?

    Increasing police doesn’t really stop crime as they are reactive in nature.

    I never cease to be amazed at the gullibility of folks on the far right.

    Why? So wealthy people can cheat on their taxes? So the deficit stays high?

    How? Build an expensive useless wall? Why didn't Trump secure the border and stop fentanyl coming from Mexico?

    One thing we can be sure they will do is increase defense spending. But they never reduce other spending and they usually run higher deficits than Dems do because they cut taxes for rich people.

    Right, increase police officers to reduce crime, but decrease IRS agents to increase (tax) crime. Rich people tax crime is ok with right-wingers, poor people street crime is very bad though.

    For what?

    So Trump and others can reach a wider audience with their lies and hate?

    Like I said, if the GOP had control right now we'd have funding for a wall and lower taxes for businesses. They'd probably pass some bill on transgender bathrooms or something related to drag shows as well

    The GOP has a plan it's called Commitment to America much like Newt Gingrich and his Contract with America.

    You can read the PDF file as the platform highlights their commitments and solutions for:
    • An Economy That's Strong
    • A Nation That's Safe
    • A Future That's Built On Freedom
    • A Government That's Accountable
    Concerning inflation Government policies can certainly contribute to inflation but controlling inflation is the responsibility of the Federal Reserve which is not a government institution. The Federal Reserve does however have ties to the Federal government. That said our faith is placed in the belief that the Federal Reserve will take necessary measures to the benefit of the nation and the populace.



    Is the Federal Reserve System a Governmental or a Privately controlled organization?
    The ambiguity arises from a combination of misleading appearances; the fact that our President appoints (with consent of the Senate) the Chairman of the Fed to four year terms, and the 5 member Board in Washington to 14 year terms; the fact that the Fed is supposed to promote governmental fiscal policy; and the fact that the system was originally set up in law by Congress in 1913 and can be altered, nationalized or even dismantled by Congress.


    Most Americans understand that the Fed controls our money system, but they believe its part of our government, as would be expected of any organization holding that much power over the destiny of our country. Americans also erroneously believe the banking business consists of accepting deposits from clients and then re-loaning them to borrowers at a higher rate of interest. Though the number is definitely growing, most Americans have no idea that money (or more accurately interest bearing bank credits – purchasing media which serves as money) is created by the banking system when loans are made, through the fractional reserve provisions. This is understood by few novices, and often economists and even bankers fail to comprehend that they function as part of a money creation system, when they issue credits, and deposit them into their client’s accounts when loans are extended.

    Therefore most Americans would be surprised to learn that almost all of what we use for money is not issued by our government, but by private banks. They have been “allowed” to form erroneous assumptions about our money and banking system that are far from reality and that serves to shield from closer scrutiny, whether the Fed is truly operating in the public interest or advancing more private agendas, either on purpose or by default.

    Seems like a good strategy. It worked for the democrats in 2020.
