If the economy does make a soft landing, you can expect the GOP to go hog wild on crime, the border, drugs, and selected cultural wedge issues.
The latest numbers on consumer prices arrived on Wednesday, and they were better than even optimists had expected. Even media reports, as far I can tell, generally omitted the “but concerns remain” qualifiers that have seemed mandatory when covering good news about the Biden economy …— a return to acceptable inflation without a large rise in unemployment.
While this is great news for the party controlling the White House, it presents a real problem for Republicans who have been rehearsing amessage on the economy for many months now.
“I think it will diminish as an issue over the course of the year if inflation continues to stay down and continues to go down,” said Sen.Some Republicans say they don’t want their party to get straightjacketed into repeatedly attacking Biden and Democrats on inflation when data shows the economic environment is changing and there are other issues that voters care about, such as illegal immigration, national security, rising crime and drug addiction.
It’s true, of course, that Republicans don’t always let objective reality control their claims about the Donkey Party. Thedidn’t keep GOP mouthpieces from relentlessly asserting that every single Democrat was avid to cut law enforcement and let criminals run wild.
