GOP policy innovation: Let's screw the poor and the economy

As I wrote recently, I should have predicted that bottom-half white men would get a lot more excited about social safety net spending. I did predict decreasing demand for male labor, after all.

The Republican Party is not letting a good crisis go to waste.

As the face of public assistance changes from that of an urban Black woman to that of a rural white man, and the Republican Party is increasingly reliant on bottom-half men with declining economic and social prospects in shrinking rural areas to win elections, party leaders are starting to change their tune.

GOP VP nominee J.D. Vance is a textbook example.
