The Economic Illiteracy of The Democrats Proceeds Apace
- Donald R. McClarey
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
The left continues to labor under the delusion that if they can just find the right tools they can been immutable laws of economics to their will. Started with Marx and Engels and continues to this day with the likes of Bernie and AOC.
The default response of Democratic pols is to manufacture patron-client relationships (financed by the bond market).
Oh, good. It will help pay for my gas when I move to Texas later this year.
There’s some (perhaps local) ubiquitous ads from the democrats here that go something like “Republicans want to raise taxes and cut spending. This means that they want you to pay more for less. We can’t live in an America where your dollar doesn’t go as far, don’t throw your vote away by voting Republican.”
I wonder if even the dumbest normies can hear that and not immediately think about how much more expensive gas is compared to when we had a Republican president.
This is all about making energy more expensive. Constricting the flow of energy, restricting access to health care, and stupidifying the education system do exactly what the Democrats want done: curtail freedom and make ordinary regular people clients of rich corporate-government patrons to be manipulated at will.
This is not economic illiteracy amongst democrat politicians. They are doing this deliberately. The illiteracy lies among their voters,
