It is great here in Florida under a Republican governor who chose to reopen the state while Biden and Democrats wanted to shut it down. Everything bolded is an excuse. Trump had our country energy independent, now Biden policies have us buying dirtier oil products from foreign countries and dipping into oil reserves. It amazes me how bad democrats manage money.
Democratic states and cities tax their residents to death and then waste the money on BS initiatives. There is a reason there is a massive exit from NY, California, NJ and other Democratic states, it is called bad tax policy, soft on crime and fear of being killed walking down the street. Please explain to us all why regardless of the party in power, these states continue to lose tax payers.
As far as the debt ceiling, GOP has a proposal. It is Biden who fails to negotiate and has no plan. I hope we default, if so it is on Joe Biden and Democrats.
I believe the shutdowns were under trump if I'm not mistaken. Also we had been on a steady trend toward energy independence since the early 2000s and we only hit energy independence during those shutdowns of 2020 when our oil usage dropped. But we were also still energy independent for 2021 as a whole.
I do have a question though. Republicans or at least the ones I know want to say that the main stream media is biased. But then they go and only take in media that is clearly biased. Do you ever stop and second guess the news that your getting because it fits so neatly into the Democrats are terrible box. I'm just curious. I've watched some of MSNBC and even though I didn't necessarily disagree with what they were saying I still thought they were going beyond the story and adding they're own opinions. So I stopped watching. I'm going to have my own natural bias but I don't want someone giving me a skewed opinionated side of the news. I just want the facts and I'll decided for myself how I feel. You may say that you don't watch biased news but again all the Republicans I know say the exact same issues with the exact same points of view. Almost like they're is one media presence that is brain washing the conservative side of the country.
