    >The MN Republican party reports that they have $53.81 in their bank account.

    Also, they have over $335,000 in debt.

    Budget control?

    > MI Republicans are in chaos, with those "in charge" having a fight resulting in a broken rib and police. They're struggling with QANON leadership. They have a grand total of $93K in the bank, and 16 prominent Republicans including their co-chair charged with felonies for trying to overthrow our democracy as "fake electors".

    >CO Republicans are essentially broke. Their fundraising is pathetic. They stopped paying any staff. Too many other seriously bad news on funding, so read:

    > AZ Republicans are also essentially broke. They blew vast amounts trying to overturn 2022 elections - spending it on lawyers. Now, they have no money, no Republican senators, and no Republican governor. Plus, they have Republicans asking themselves why they should donate to a party run like the AZ Republican party. Analysts say it isn't so much that AZ isn't still pretty red. It's that there are idiots in control.

    The above are all states where Republicans wanted to make a show of their influence.

    Except for this damned heat wave, Arizona is doing just fine with the Dems in control … I do wish though that the ridiculous 8% sales tax will be reduced… beer prices are out of control…

    Spending money chasing stupid conspiracies doesn't help the political wallet.

    Ah, this is the third time I've seen this story on various media; the powers that be in the Democrat/authoricrat axis must have order their minions conduct a full court blitz.

    I agree, while they are down they should figuratively bury them.

    LOL! Maybe.

    But, for me it's a matter of the real evidence when it comes to budgets and leadership.

    Republicans can't even figure out that our economy is doing very well, with Biden's decisions being important to that success.

    Yeah, the people seeing their real wage diminishing, being unable to find affordable housing, and costs going up agree with you :rolleyes:

    I guess it's more than Republicans, since Joe Average and the low/no income groups are being crunched with rising food prices, rising medical costs, rising fuel prices, rising basic clothing costs and being priced out of housing.

    But hey, the economy is 'fine' according to those who look at incomplete and unrelative data.

    Yes - the inflation problem.

    Let's remember that economists identify the reasons for the inflation spike to be the spike in oil price (with us depending on oil for so much of transportation) and COVID (which screwed up the international supply chain). Neither of those can be "fixed" by the executive branch.

    Interest rates are the only tool the executive branch has for directly addressing inflation. Thus interest rates were raised and inflation is a fraction of what it was by oil prices moderating, supply chain working itself out and the interest rates that slow demand.


    One way we can reduce our vulnerability to world oil price volitility is to diversify the fuels we use for transportation. More than 70% of our oil consumption is burned for transportation.
