The political system has made it impossible to believe anyone. Even "experts" are not to be believed or trusted.

It would seem to be a no brainer, under the K.I.S.S. doctrine that if the USA is the number one market in the world, business' want to be involved in that system amd it would be in the best interest of business' in the US to have most of the population earn a wage that gives them money they can spend. The more the population is paid, the more they will spend, the more business' will make.

Simplicity is no longer a goal. Make it as complex as possible so the population has to rely on so called "experts" to understand anything.

Humans being human, taking care of number one is the only worldview to live by. And as long as that is true, nothing will really change for the better for all of us. Dems have honed the fear mongering to an unprecedented level. They can deliver the message. It's just the wrong message. And the Repubs have their message issue also. But the Dems being lost and leaderless, the only coherent message they have is fear. Much like the Republicans will be when the Dems eventually get in charge. And so it goes.

You are focusing on the forest, think about taking care of the trees and you will soon see a healthy forest.

Listen to what people want and give it to them.

People want to be safe in their home and in their community, so remove criminals from the community.

People want their children to be able to read, write, and compute. So see that the teachers drop everything and help the kids learn to read, write, and compute.

People want to help their family and neighbors in need. They don't feel an obligation to share their hard earned dollars with everyone who enters this country by breaking the law.

In other words, it's time for democrats to campaign on governing well.

Focus on good governance
