Brent Budowsky thinks Democrats should run on their record of "accomplishment"
- Democrats have been trying to scare voters for months.
- A Republican victory will mean the rise of semi-fascism, women will be shackled to their birthing beds, and democracy itself is at stake
- Despite endless news reports about how Democrats' chances in the midterms were improving, the needle just isn't moving
- So, will they try to run on accomplishments of the Democratic Congress?
On drug prices, a new analysis finds that wholesale prices for brand-name drugs went up 4.9% in the second quarter
- The alleged drug cost savings from the Democrats' "Inflation Reduction Act" are highly uncertain, limited to a small set of prescription drugs, and won't take effect for years.
- On gun violence, gun-related deaths hit an all-time high in 2021 and show no sign of slowing down this year
The American Rescue Plan accomplished nothing
- All it accomplished was to fuel inflation
- It was Democrats who couldn't get the child tax credit expansion renewed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act
- The last item on the list, the infrastructure bill, was a bipartisan one which means Republicans aren't likely to do anything about it should they take control of Congress
