Hamilton said Congress should focus on clawing back Trump’s tariffs and ending the war with Iran.
Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton, who flipped deep-red Kansas for Democrats, said Sunday that he hopes to prioritize lowering costs for his constituents in the next Congress and that he would be “deeply disappointed” to spend two years investigating members of the Trump administration.
“The bigger priority for me, and I think for most people in America, especially people living paycheck to paycheck, is ‘please help us with the cost of living,’” Hamilton told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
Specifically, he said the new Congress should immediately focus on ending the war in Iran and “claw[ing] back tariffs policies.”
“If I spent the next two years — my first two years in the Senate — in investigations, I’d be deeply disappointed. I want to get to work helping the people in my state and helping the people across the country,” Hamilton said.
So fun fact, it would cost more money than the totality of all assets privately and publicly owned in the US to switch away from diesel overnight.
Also a fun fact, without export tariffs on domestic production of oil (which would cut off the US from the international oil trade) there is no possible way to lower the cost of living for the average American without removing Trump or completely neutering his ability to wage war. The Latter is much harder than the former.
Also a fun fact, unless the Iran war is stopped, there is no possible way to secure enough fertilizer to lower the cost of food in the US. Period. At all. There are no other sources of global fertilizer that could be secured.
Also a fun fact, without an executive branch that is willing to carry out the will of congress, nothing congress can do will ever have any effect. Meaning we need Trump and Trump related sycophants out of office before anything can be done for the cost of living or improving the lives of the average American.
