From the article: "In 2024, Donald Trump made a simple promise: “Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again.” It didn’t matter that he was lying. It didn’t matter that he had no plan. What mattered is that voters believed he saw their pain and was going to do something—anything—about it....look at Zohran Mamdani’s upset win in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary. His message? Freeze rent, free buses, free child care, city-owned grocery stores, higher minimum wage—all cost-of-living....There’s so much we could do! Higher Social Security benefits, Medicare for all, universal child care, universal school lunches, better food assistance, eliminating sales tax on food, limiting credit card interest rates, free community college, free public transit in metro areas, a ban on junk fees, and so on...."
Thank you for putting into words exactly what I am feeling...what so many of us are feeling.
Mick quotes from his book: "There are things about this nation that shame me, that anger me, many of them related to a pervasive cultural insistence on monetizing everything. According to Kos of Daily Kos, the cost of living (monetizing everything) is today's most important issue, and Democrats need to stop over thinking it. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/7/4/2331392/-Stop-overthinking-it-Cost-of-living-is-the-most-important-issue?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=more_recent_news&pm_medium=web
