16. Not much of an action plan, IMFO.

From the AP article:

We are going to focus on five issues in terms of lowering people’s costs. They are health care, housing, tariffs — you know, costs of goods — food prices, because of food monopolies, and child care.

Trump and the Republicans are in a bubble, and they don’t understand it. They are ignoring it, and that’s why things keep getting better and better for us.

Snip...

The cost issue is really having an effect already. Look at the elections of 2025. Look at how (Democrat Abigail) Spanberger won by 15 points in Virginia and (Democrat Mikie) Sherrill won by 13 points (in 2025 governor’s races). But it wasn’t just those two states. We won elections in Georgia. We won elections across the country. And that is because voters, young and old, poor and middle class, don’t think Trump was serving them well. So, there’s been a whole turnaround about Trump.

And in large part, we helped make it happen by focusing on costs.
