    You retained the Senate and still have Biden so you have majority control.
    So what now? What do you want them to do? What should be their first concerns? What should they immediately do to get inflation way down?

    What's the plan I never heard it during the campaigning. All Biden would say is "nothing different".

    Oh this ought to be good... You could easily do one thing but first they have to get out of denial about the things that he has done that made it that way.... Stop being so hostile to the gas and oil industry.

    But of course all of his good little fans will tell us that he has done nothing to harm it. He has no control over it you see.... Nothing is his fault.

    Democrats? You'd think this would have attracted more comments... What will democrats do now? Cripple US energy more than they already have? Continue to punish the people with their artificially triggered inflation? More cash giveaways?

    There's nothing that can be done other than watch the Fed's rate hikes work their magic.

    As for the Dem's agenda, it's DOA in the House. Biden has said he wants to meet with McTurtle on reaching compromise in order to get some things done but I imagine the Repub caucus in the House has other ideas. What ideas, IOW how Crazy they are, depends in no small part on who the Speaker will be. Something that is uncertain.

    Kevin McCarthy will take his first step toward the speakership this week. It’s looking increasingly like a leap straight into chaos.

    As Republicans begin grappling with the reality of a much smaller majority next year than they’d hoped, the GOP leader’s once-clear ascent to the top House gavel is now under threat from the right — an echo of the circumstances that helped derail his 2015 bid for the spot. And a full picture of his problems could emerge as soon as Tuesday, when McCarthy is slated to be nominated as the GOP conference’s pick for speaker.

    Blah blah blah.. republicans... says about what I'd expect from democrats now. There is no agenda, other than the one that has already failed, for which Biden has promised he's not going to change. Are you intentionally trying to pre-blame shift here? Do you suppose that as you wrote that phrase "compromise" that you actually understood that the only compromise democrats will tolerate is just doing what they demand? It's like having to deal with pre teen girls. There is only one outcome that democrats want, and that is simple capitulation.

    We expected Trump to lower gas prices and he provided the policies that did just that. Biden reversed Trump's policies and we see that result when we gas up.

    You have to readjust your software, it's typing Democrats when you obviously mean Republicans.

    By 2024 Biden will have most of his present agenda done and be moving on. The Pubs will still be going on about how we have to cancel Social Security and HealthCare or Elon Musk will move to Somalia. Hopefully, Trump won't have enough money left to finance that much of a Civil War in 2025

    Nah. I meant democrats. As in, this is what they mean when they say 'compromise'... There isn't a compromise for them. Only the demand. I take it that you don't support his future run for 2024. Most democrats I know don't either. Why? Because Gavin is their golden boy who will fully implement the duplication to China.

    More Dem propaganda and excuse making "Elect us we are the best to run the country and the economy" then "Hey don't blame us or expect us to do anything" There is PLENTY they can do on the fiscal side to get the economy back on track from the train wreck their policies have produced.

    More Dem propaganda. Remember Biden ran on the proclaimed statemanship his long tenure in the Senate and government would bring that HE could bring both sides together. Of course more excuse making now. Bill Clinton on the advice of his political adviser "triandulated" he moved to the Gingrich/Kasich policies on taxes and regulation and budgets and produced a thriving economy and budget surpluses.


    The Dems are still in charge and as expected you cannot clearly and concisely state what it is we got with your votes.

    Who controls regulatory and fiscal policy?

    See more excuse making and not a word on what exactly we got out of this election.

    And he and his fellow Dems are just helpless bystanders only there to comfort us and keep telling us how bad are the Reps.

    What is the agenda and what are they going to do NOW to get it going? What is the goal? And note how you have to make fallcious statements about Reps for lack of being able to state what the Dems including our President are going to do about Social Security and HealthCare. You do show the Dem propaganda worked though.

    do you think that any regulations are passed without industry lobbyists approval?

    fiscal policy is set on wall st and implemented by the federal reserve.

    Yes.

    Fiscal policy is set by Congress and the Executive the Fed sets monetary policy.

    There is a lot he could work on I think:

    Is marijuana legal at the federal level yet?
    Is prostitution legal, regulated, and taxed?
    Do you have universal single payer health care yet?
    Did the big infrastructure repair and rebuild get done for roads and bridges?
    Is the science budget much higher than it was before?

    Any of the above would be a good step forward. Maybe one of them can get done for you?

    A good step forward for what? Permissive self absorption? So, as long as you can be high, denigrate sex workers, make others responsible for your personal health care, these are things that you'd like to see?

    As for infrastructure, what is the agenda here? Whose infrastructure is most in need? Just democratic cities what have allowed their infrastructure to fail around them while they paid off their electorate instead?

    Priority, nominating qualified judges by President Biden to the district and appellate courts as the seats become available is the first priority. The rest is going to depend on what the House does, assuming it is controlled by the GOP.

    Another possibility is to take up the Trans-Pacific Agreement and hopefully it will pass by 51 votes, if Biden signs the agreement and sends it for confirmation by the Senate.

    Some states, including some conservative ones, have decriminalized small amounts of possession for marijuana. But for the Federal Government to do so is not in the cards. Personally, I think they should allow medical research on Marijuana for arthritis, pain management, and other ailments that hemp/marijuana is known for helping. And to make the exception for banks in those states to allow them to accept direct payments for legalized marijuana at those states. The rest is more of a Libertarian point of view than anything else and neither major party will go that route.

    I was just reading about him imposing onerous new rules about methane emissions from the domestic gas and oil industry.

    But of course none of that's really happening.

    The monetary policy conducted by the FEd is the right one.

    And it is done without political hindrance... which is in total opposition to what Trump was doing.

    Inflation in the US is in line with the average of the other G20 countries, neither worse nor better, which shows that Biden has few levers to counter it.
