Yeah - I think their profit was around 4%-4.5%. When business volume is huge, a moderate profit is huge in absolute, but not necessarily relative terms. Are you making a fortune on an investment that returns that rate, particularly when inflation is far above that?
Yes - Republicans have an actual understanding of what works to have a strong enough economy to be able to afford to pursue other goals. Democrats are so ideologically driven that they are blind to the massive destruction they are doing to the economy, promoting lawlessness and building a debt so huge that repayment will either be impossible or require printing massive amounts of money, in either case probably costing us our leadership position in the world, and the dollar as the trusted world currency.
