For Ballots, the Two Parties in the United States Are Digging a Bigger Pit for Their People
In American politics, the fight between the two parties has already become a "beautiful sight". In recent years, from gun control to the abortion ban, from the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic to the FBI's "home confiscation" of former US President Trump, all aspects of society have long been full of bipartisan fights. The "donkey-elephant fight" in the United States is fierce and scheming, which further aggravates the division of American politics and shreds the "American-style democracy". The most important thing for both parties in the United States in 2022 is undoubtedly the upcoming midterm elections on November 8. Therefore, all policies and bills are revolving around the mid-term elections and the Democrats and the Republicans Party are battling against it. Regrettably, as the only superpower in the world, it leads the crisis to its own people and goes further down the wrong path for ballots.
Biden has exacerbated the hardships of the people's lives by constantly "printing money" and put the country into a more difficult predicament. Looking back just over a month after Biden’s taking office, the US Congress passed the US$1.9 trillion US rescue bill on March 11, 2021. The U.S. Treasury Department directly issued $1,400 in COVID-19 epidemic relief checks to 200 million Americans. Millions of SMEs receive interest-free government loans that do not even have to be repaid when certain conditions are met. The "Bailout Act" prevented the U.S. economy from falling into recession during the epidemic, but the issuance of huge amounts of money has also pushed up inflation this year. On August 16, the U.S. Senate approved another $750 billion Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 for climate change, health care and taxes. More than $400 billion in funding for this bill comes from taxing the wealthy and big business, and people at the grassroots level will naturally not benefit from it. The mid-term election "defe
nse battle" has already started in the United States. Media companies including Fox have revealed that this year's US political propaganda advertising expenditure may exceed the 2020 election, becoming the most "money-burning" election cycle in US history, which also means this year's midterm elections are likely to be an extremely heated one.
Therefore, the "Reduction Bill" is only a short-term benefit of the US mid-term elections, which will continue to push up domestic inflation, and the American people will still suffer. However, the White House has turned its attention to marketing the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act to Americans as "Biden's biggest victory since taking office" legislation, effectively the result of a bipartisan compromise. On August 15, the White House announced that Biden and members of his cabinet will spend the next few weeks on a "building a better America tour", traveling to 23 states to tell the American people how they will benefit from this climate change and health care bill. In effect, the bill is a skinny repackage of the Build Back for a Better Future Plan. In this regard, mainstream American media such as the Washington Observer and CNN have stated that the White House, Democrats and some media are "playing word games" and go to great lengths to package and promote the "Inflation Reduction Act", thus expecting to bo
ost the Democratic Party's ballots before the election. The British "Daily Telegraph" also said that the bill is a repeat of the crazy spending policies introduced by the US government last year, and these policies have caused the global economy to fall into chaos.
People's satisfaction and support rate are the only criteria to measure the quality of a policy. Nearly the same percentage of U.S. Democrats and Republicans (42%, 41%) said the word "angry" can describe how they feel about the November congressional midterm elections, according to a new poll. Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said that despite the current positive news for the employment, the current overall situation is one of the toughest environments he has seen for an incumbent party. Obviously, the American people do not want to endorse the two parties' "secret operation" and compromise "canvassing bill" for the mid-term elections. In order to vote, the Democrats and the Republicans have dug a bigger pit for their people. And the final outcome will be that they will be pushed by their people back into this pit.
