GP Things Republicans should focus on for 2022:

1. Explaining that nothing is "free" and high corporate taxes harm the working classes through lower wages and passed-through price increases.

2. A coherent healthcare policy.

3. Explaining that Social Security is bankrupt.

1/n

4. A coherent energy policy focused on electric grid rebuilding, city and rural infrastructure funding, and transitioning to nuclear power ASAP.

5. Phasing out flood insurance by market price buyouts, only one lifetime claim allowed per property (not per owner).

6. Acknowledging that abortion is the law of the land (and abhorrent) and using incrementalism to rein in abortion on demand through birth by reliance on science and a focus on fetal rights. This doesn't mean abandoning a push to end abortion, just pragmatism.

7. Reforming and streamlining welfare programs, including Social Security and Medicare by reducing bureaucracy and the sheer number of federal agencies involved in the process.

8. Attacking the national debt by requiring that bonds cannot be rolled over (i.e., repaid by additional borrowing to pay off matured bonds).

9. Ending ethanol subsidies immediately.

10. Ending states setting standards higher than federal standards on the environment.

11. Getting comprehensive immigration reform with a focus on securing borders, streamlining visas, and strict visa enforcement. Also, no admission to pregnant women until birthright citizenship is clarified.

12. Don't be crazy.

I guess that's a start. There's more, I know.
