This is what the 65+ seniors (i.e., voters) see:
- Biden: a jump in social security benefits by almost 10% in two months. Whoo-hoo!
- GOP (McCarthy): maintains pledge to remove Omar Ilhan from foreign affairs committee. Whoo-hoo!
From my perspective: why didn't Kevin McCarthy post a 10-point plan to help middle class Americans as soon as the midterm elections were over?
He's had two years to prepare.
What has he been doing for the past two years; he's had a lot of spare time to work on that list.
He appears to be unable to think "big" (strategically).
A ten-point list?
- bring interest rates down; bring mortgage rates down (it's going to happen anyway; might as well take credit)
- college tuition assistance plan; tweak the Biden tuition-debt cancellation initiative
- a green-energy program that makes sense
- ex: Daimler EVs and state of California partnership
- Americans' right(s) to basic utilities (electricity, water, internet)
- ex: everyone gets $200 tax credit -- credit -- for utilities to include free basic internet -- tax credit must be spent on utilities, internet
- military funding overhaul
- immigration overhaul with emphasis on embracing the "southern surge";
- streamline, expedite citizenship-path process from current ten years (or longer) to max of three years with aggressive requirements (language, job history, job skills)
- Abbott lost four of the five big cities in Texas; and, almost lost all five
- Beto easily won the border counties
- Abbott is on the "wrong" side of history
- Beto was simply "a bridge too far" for 45% of Texans
- recreational drug policy: align federal law with state laws;
- let private enterprise manage recreational drug use;
- screw China (he probably needs to use a different "word")
- go full Monty on an EV charging network on the US interstate system
- photo-ops in California, Florida, Texas, New York City, Chicago, and Detroit
- move toward a four-day workweek for federal bureaucracy
- focus on productivity, not hours in office
