What Vacation?

Short term pain for long term gains says Republicans.

If you haven't notice, you see the costs of food, gas and life are increasing. 

You are likely not able to take a vacation with the cost of gas, hotel expenses and insurance.

Oh, we also have a partial government shutdown. Those who work for the TSA and several other federal agencies are not getting paid for the work.

Travelers using our nation's airports are lashing out at TSA workers who are not getting paid for the 8 to 16 hours of work. Some are outright calling in sick or quitting.

People who are planning vacations are going to have frosty reception if they plan on traveling overseas to countries the U.S. damaged relationships with.

Who deserves the blame?

For Republicans, they will blame former president Joe Biden and Democrats for the economic turmoil.

In reality, President Donald J. Trump is totally responsible for all the chaos inflicted on the working class. The Americans are souring on the aggression in Iran. They are fed up with Israel leading us to World War III. 

Even Republican voters who are not aligned with MAGA but with the America First movement have vowed to punish Trump come November.

But don't think the Democrats are off the hook. Many progressives are not tolerating this weak, ineffective and "wait and see approach" leadership. Progressives are not tolerating pro Israel Democrats and their generic responses to the chaos.

They are tired of performative acts by the lawmakers.

If you are only filling up gas and going to work and home, you're not alone.

If you are cutting back on doing things like keeping all the lights on at the house, stopping eating at fast food restaurants, not enjoying that gas station quick snack or even night at a bar, you are not alone.

White people who are raised in privilege are more likely to blow their finances without realizing the threat of uncertainty exists.

We are at a point where white leadership, billionaires, the well off and the war machine are no longer tolerated.

The war in Iran has really backfired with the president. Many see it as a distraction from him doing what he was elected to do.... lower the damn prices.
