Democrats have left moderate voters behind

Top industry is….drug addiction treatment
So the plan is to knowingly promote market inefficiencies to win votes? Sounds like Democrats.
Banks rejects the supply-side tax and trade policy. Says to focus on working families rather than “job creators”.
Emphasizes non-college pathways (very popular with the coalition that just gave Pubs the presidency and both houses of congress)
Commits to industrial policy: “a detailed strategy to incentivize domestic investment—especially in advanced manufacturing and other highly productive industries”
The battles will occur
Banks and the other Republicans in recent years have become more and more the candidate and party of the average worker.
In addition the recent rise in the cost of living which the Republicans successfully attributed to Biden and the policies of Democrats helped bring the average workers into the GOP camp.
Let us face it, the cost of living in America has made life very difficult for the average worker. Consequently, is it more jobs that we need, or jobs that pay more for the average worker ?
So my question to Banks and the Republicans is, What are you going to do for the average worker so he can make more money?
He's striking the right notes to move up it, if you assume the Trump coalition is the future of the party. Traditional business Repubs may be less than impressed.
Most business is small business. Can only make so much. Can only earn so much. The unnecessary price hikes from the last four years have had and will have devastating consequences for tens of millions. We need to do the things you say to the extent possible while also bringing down costs. Maybe it’s energy that’s cheaper that will help. I don’t know
Compare the map from 2014 with that from 1979….at that time the map showed a 10-20 percent dependence on government programs (transfers) across most of the nation.
MM66, you bring up something interesting when you mention "unnecessary price hikes" in the last four years.
Would unnecessary price hikes include raising prices by businesses, both big and small, which go beyond what is necessary to cover costs and simply add to the profits?
Consumers then begrudgingly accept the unnecessary hikes and blame inflation caused by whoever is in the Oval Office or whatever suits their pet peeves.
Meanwhile the candidate running to take over the Oval Office offers "Drill baby, drill" as a solution to the inflation problem. This makes sense to most voters who have seen big increases in the price of gasoline.
DJT is simply a genius when it comes offering simple solutions to complex problems which the public then understands and accepts.
Free cheese radical leftists contributed to price increases. Opportunistic businesses conditioned people to pay more. Other businesses will arise to offer cheaper solutions to the extent trunp doesn’t torpedo same with tariffs. Drill baby drill might lower prices to the extent fuel costs contribute to the expense of moving product. My 2 cents
The biggest reason the Democrats lost is because they abandoned normal voters. Then catered to the environmentalist and LBGTQ crowd!
They will continue to lose if they annually cater to the minority and not the majority...The majority put them on their a$$e$ because they flipped us the bird with alternative lifestyles, gay living, etc...
I’ve been surprised by his rise. Seeing him as a US Senator is still kinda shocking. But you’re probably right, his rise says more about the direction of the party than it does about him as a statesman.
Hoot, I think the better question is how can Republicans increase the living standards for the average work. The most profound way would be through Bitcoin. They need to develop a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, pass crypto friendly legislation, strengthen Bitcoin property rights, and just generally promote Bitcoin. Life gets cheaper on a Bitcoin Standard.
How in the world does that increase the living standards of the average worker?
Developing a SBR (assuming they go large) allows the government to grow out of their debt issues, instead of having to raise taxes, make significant cuts, and/or monetize the debt. Growing our way out is the best situation for the average person.
SC, whether it be crypto currency or saving/investing and smarter spending the average worker must look to himself. The pressures to purchase and receive satisfaction as advertised by vendors is simply irresistible to most of us.
Thinking politicians and/or the government offer the solutions to our financial self destructive proclivities only diverts us from taking responsibility for ourselves.
Having said all that, even meeting basic needs without saving and investing can be virtually impossible for some Americans who just don't have the education and skills to make a living wage. In addition disabilities including mental health problems plague some. These problems should be legitimate concerns for pols (Dems and Pubs) and government as directed by the electorate.
