Let’s look at their first claims:
Inflation? Primary Source:
https://tradingeconomics.com/country-list/inflation-rate-
If you sort from highest to lowest rate, we are 102nd out of 186th in the world in Inflation Rate. It is a GLOBAL issue.
Cities Record Murder Rates? What cities? They never tell us. I have maps. See a Pattern?
Gas price increase? Primary Source:
https://www.globalpetrolprices.com/gasoline_prices/
We are 43rd out of 168 countries in cost (US Dollars) per liter. The price of gas is a GLOBAL issue.
Illegal Border Crossings? 3.5 million? Citation? Evidence?
Drug Overdoses?
Former Drug Czar Says GOP Health Bill Would Cut Access To Addiction Treatment
What Trump’s GOP Health Cuts Mean For Drug Addicts
Ex-DEA agent: Opioid crisis fueled by drug industry and Congress
“JOE RANNAZZISI: I just don’t understand why Congress would pass a bill that strips us of our authority in the height of an opioid epidemic in places like Congressman Marino’s district and Congressman Blackburn’s district. Why are these people sponsoring bills, when people in their backyards are dying from drugs that are coming from the same people that these bills are protecting?”
Let’s just choose some of the GOP ‘plan’ at random, for example
“In June, baby formula was out of stock in over 70% of the country”
There was a RECALL. Babies were getting sick. Babies DIED. Regulation is a good thing!
Powdered Infant Formula Recall: What to Know
Like everything else I have read so far in this ‘plan’, I don’t see a HOW. How does the GOP plan to not have this happen again if there is another recall?
Another ‘complaint’,
“While the Biden Administration canceled leases and discouraged oil and gas production on day one, Presidents Trump and Obama each approved 10 times as many leases during the same period of their presidencies”
Let’s ask Fox Business News,
Biden approves largest oil, gas lease sale in US history, steamrolls eco review with inflation bill
Facts tend to get in the way for the GOP
U.S. oil and gas permitting has increased under Biden, data shows
“Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24, Republican politicians, conservative pundits and fossil fuel industry leaders have accused President Biden of weakening the U.S.’s economic power against Russia by reducing oil and gas production.
Last week, for example, Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said, “Joe Biden has given up the best defense we had against [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s evil vision for the world — energy independence.”
But a data dashboard unveiled Wednesday by the Center for Western Priorities shows that the opposite is true. The federal government has been issuing oil and gas drilling permits more willingly than it did during President Donald Trump’s first three years in office, and it could be issuing even more if the oil and gas industry weren’t leaving many current leases undeveloped.
Right now, the industry is sitting on 9,173 approved but unused drilling permits on federal and tribal lands. This is mystifying to some observers, who note that filing for those permits has already cost operators more than $10,000 each. The permits also expire after two years, with only one extension allowed. More than 26 million acres of federal land — an area comparable to the size of Kentucky — are currently under lease for oil and gas drilling. Of that, slightly more than half — 13.9 million acres, equivalent to the size of West Virginia — are not being used.”
GOP disinformation on COVID has caused this,
“U.S. life expectancy has decreased for two straight years, representing the biggest drop since 1943”
For red and blue America, a glaring divide in COVID-19 death rates persists 2 years later
“Post-vaccine, death rates in red states were 38% higher than in blue states.”
I have a map
I found someone that made a different chart,
https://dangoodspeed.com/covid/total-deaths-since-july
Pro-Trump counties now have far higher COVID death rates. Misinformation is to blame
“Since May 2021, people living in counties that voted heavily for Donald Trump during the last presidential election have been nearly three times as likely to die from COVID-19 as those who live in areas that went for now-President Biden. That’s according to a new analysis by NPR that examines how political polarization and misinformation are driving a significant share of the deaths in the pandemic.
NPR looked at deaths per 100,000 people in roughly 3,000 counties across the U.S. from May 2021, the point at which vaccinations widely became available. People living in counties that went 60% or higher for Trump in November 2020 had 2.73 times the death rates of those that went for Biden. Counties with an even higher share of the vote for Trump saw higher COVID-19 mortality rates.
In October, the reddest tenth of the country saw death rates that were six times higher than the bluest tenth, according to Charles Gaba, an independent health care analyst who’s been tracking partisanship trends during the pandemic and helped to review NPR’s methodology. Those numbers have dropped slightly in recent weeks, Gaba says: “It’s back down to around 5.5 times higher.””
I made some web-pages on this:
I read the entire ‘plan’. I didn’t see any PLAN. No HOW. Just a lot of complaints and lies.
