This is part of what gets me about the GOP talking points, and I don't mean you specifically, but it's that whole "you'll never struggle if you are willing to work" mantra combined with the whole "everything sucks and it's not your fault, so I'll fix it if you elect me" solution.
When I think about it I think back to Regan beating Carter on a platform of "Are you better now than you were 4 years ago?" and then once he's elected starting with the talk about how many people are "choosing" to be poor.
Either the power is ours alone or it isn't. Just seems like it's a "pull yourself up by the bootstraps....er, unless we need you to blame democrats" mindset.
If gas is too expensive, not your fault really, but you'd better elect a republican so you can afford it.
If you can't afford your $100k of medical bills, tough luck pal, get a flip phone and stop buying avocados.
Isn't that what every election should boil down to ? Am I being selfish in looking at things that way ?
