Posts like this show how economic messaging has become central to politics. At the end of the day, most people just want affordability and clarity about who’s responsible for what.

    1992, a Clinton campaign catchphrase was, "It's the economy, stupid" and the New Deal in 1933 was about "economic messaging". In 1890 Republicans lost big time in part due to the McKinley tariffs. Economic messaging in the U.S. has been central to politics for far longer than living memory.
