7. Even if the issue has been discussed, even if trump's

deputy communications director says trump will discuss this next year, "affordability" is a mantra like word that Mamdani rode to a win.
The Democrats can focus on the word and accompanying programs they support, to take serious direction and application.
We live in a world of semantics and driving home a simple, unifying goal makes sense.
Trump pushed groceries and bringing down prices.
Once again, he has not delivered on his promises.
Should democrats focus on a mission to provide affordable child care, for example, nearly every one in America would be in favor. It would expand jobs and free existing workers from some anxiety and improve their contributions to their employers.
New Mexico has headed in this direction and I'm sure plans are in some folder to set the ball rolling.
How could repubs not want to support this measure? It would actually unite congress.
I say commandeer the word " affordability" and make it our goal.
