GOP is going to need to be a hybrid populist party in order to win. Trump changed that. The Democrats are now a very elitist party, so their populist flank is very open to attack. DeSantis knows this & has been exploiting that in Florida.

I agree, though I think the power of campaign contributions (i.e., bribes) will prevent the GOP from doing what it has to do to be a viable party.

This is what "quantitative easing" has always been. The Fed just prints money then uses that money to buy securities like stocks & bonds.

Amazing how it took 11 years for me to figure out what QE is precisely. I knew it was pumping money into the economy, but I thought it worked through interest rates - by lowering them and allowing the creation of more money.
