Republicans Correctly See That 90% of Our Country's Biggest Problems Are CAUSED By "Government"
Only About 45% of Democrats See the True Scale of Our Big Government Disaster ....But Improving
A Recent Gallup poll shows that the (general category) “Government” is the biggest problem facing our country today. It’s even the biggest concern for Democrats, who more transparently and historically call for Big Government as the solution to all of our problems. That’s less true now in our days of a “uni-party”— meaning that Republican office holders also drink the Big Government Kool-Aid.
The headline is 24% of Republicans and 18% of Democrats call “Government” as the most important problem.
But the real headline is that 90% of Republican Respondents Correctly See That Our Biggest Problems ARE CAUSED by Government:
Inflation, CHECK!
Immigration, CHECK!
(Poor) Economy In General, CHECK!
Moral/Ethical/Family Decline, CHECK!
Federal Deficit, CHECK!
That’s about 90% or damned near everything in the Gallup survey. Both parties in Goverment entirely share the blame for the following accumulated disasters:
Government (and Fauci) created the COVID virus, then they lied about it. Then, they needlessly shut down the nation in a hail of panic-mongering and thereby destroying small businesses and families that are still recovering. Amazon and Netflix and other Big Tech prospered handsomely.
After wrongfully shutting down the economy, and withering supply chains, the “Government” then CAUSED the recent Inflation with excessive spending. That spending was funded by $6 or $7 Trillion in willy-nilly money creation ex nihilo by the captured Federal Reserve. This caused a huge surge inflation along with the government-crippled supply chain. The Spending Continues (and so will inflation).
Government 40 years of “globalization”successfully de-industrialized our once great economy and it’s best jobs.
Our hollowed-out economy and inflation continues to be a huge disaster for the entire country— especially the next generation. The next generation is completely priced out of everything. THEY ARE SCREWED! AND GOVERNMENT AND THE FEDERAL RESERVE IDIOTS CAUSED IT!!
“Immigration” is entirely a Democrat insanity and INTENTIONAL disaster.
Disastrous monetary policies including massive money “printing” and zero interest rates (mispriced cost of money), especially since 1971, are significant causes of economic decline, vast wealth inequality and our current surge in inflation.
The richest folks in America are literally getting rich off the bottom 90% of the country. We’re now in “Great Gatsby” times except the wealthy now are even wealthier than Jay Gatsby.
We’re at wealth inequalities not seen since 1929. And it seems likely that only a Great Depression can reset that inequality where asset prices collapse. It’s either that or hyperinflation, then Depression.
Government policies of Johnson’s Great Society continue to cause minority communities to devolve into poverty. Ironic, isn’t it? Might they have actually meant to help??
Nah, it was all about buying votes and power! And it worked! It’s brought us to this moment in history as vote buying has given the Democrats a reliable 10% edge in vote power thanks to the steady 90% Black Americans, many who enjoy govt benefits.
In regard to the poll results, Democrats believe in so much other bullshit besides big government. They’re still hung up with the illusions that “racism” and “homophobia” are the big problems, but they confuse poor reputation and/or poor behavior as a source of these two group’s difficulties. See my recent post Wokeness is Racism and White Hatred for a full measure of inconvenient truth.
Hell, it’s a golden time for gays, drag queens and especially blacks these days, and vast resources are thrown at blacks — literally at the expense of the non-gay, non-black population. Did you receive your Thank You card? No? You got a big “FUCK YOU” from “Woke” idiots!
Other programs, such as indiscriminate student loans (a welfare programs for idle youth who are sidelined by a government-destruction of our economy) have yet to completely collapse, but it will in the next crisis.
As always, Democrats remain mostly with their heads up their asses. They are still are the party of Big Government. They wouldn’t want to admit to the real and immense scope of disaster that they support. Still, about 45% of Democrats correctly see Government as our biggest problem (in total).
But it’s the Republicans, at about 90% of respondents, who correctly identify that Big Government (and it’s captive Federal Reserve?) are the sources of nearly ALL our problems.
