Another Conspiracy

The Fed's interest increase today Could change the election in play Their latest rate rise Is meddling in disguise And Republicans say hooray! Author's note: Do we believe the Fed didn't realize inflation was a problem until recently? They didn't raise rates during the previous administration--OMG that would have made the T-rumpasaurus look bad. They could have held off this month, but this way they can bias the electoral process.

I don’t think people understand economics enough too have it affect their vote, go by what their party line says it means I think. Another provocative piece.

And people generally only think short term. Your right on target with your assessment.

Not living in America i only know what is said on CNN which we follow every night as well as BBC i would probably vote democrats. I enjoy your wonderful Limericks which convey in a few words, the essence of a situation or happening. Well penned Duke, however, I dread that the two parties would ever take up arms against one another. hugs, blessings Jennifer.

Thanks Jennifer. It does seem to me as though the election coverage of crime, which gets very intense right now, hurts our incumbent majority even though they generally do a better job than T-rumpasauas' party. I have criticism for them all, but at least the democrats aren't totally corrupt. Unfortunately, big money influences what our law makers do, and most are in this for themselves not for us.

We need a third party of honesty because the two before us are corrupt as hell. I don't even want to vote. I have no clue what to do. but i gotta do it nonetheless.

Whatever you decide is cool!! There is no longer a factual, calm, and rational discussion so it’s not easy to understand what is at stake. I’m glad im getting old because what’s to come may get even more crazy.
