39. Let's try this (yup, it's hard)

Inflation/prices
Problem: Inflation is out of control!
Republican solution: Tariffs on foreign imports will force made-in-the-USA products, lowering prices.
Democratic solution: We will punish the greedy corporations stealing from your pocketbook every day.

Immigration
Problem: Dirty hordes of violent illegal immigrants are stampeding across the border!
Republican solution: We'll round up all the immigrants and send them back where they came from.
Democratic solution: Close the borders until immigration laws can keep up.

Jobs & the economy
Problem: The gig economy sucks! Where are the good jobs with great benefits?
Republican solution: When all the immigrants are gone, you'll have great jobs with great benefits
Democratic solution: Fine and highly tax the Amazons and Ubers who enslave their workers.

Abortion
Problem: Women are killing their babies for fun!
Republican solution: We will force them to stop killing their babies.
Democratic solution: Paid parental leave and subsidized child care supports parents and children

Healthcare
Problem: The price of drugs is too high!
Republican solution: Obamacare is to blame, so we'll finally get rid of it.
Democratic solution: Drug makers will lower prices or we’ll nationalize their patents.

Climate & the environment
Problem: The government is going to force us all to buy electric cars!
Republican solution: Drill, baby, drill. Climate change isn't real anyway.
Democratic solution: Standardize and increase charging stations and improve hybrid tech.

National security
Problem: We're giving billions of dollars to Ukraine even though they started the war with Russia!
Republican solution: We'll stop funding Ukraine, and pull out of warmongering NATO as well.
Democratic solution: We’ll stop funding Israel’s war against Gaza.

Taxes & government spending
Problem: My taxes are too high, and I don't get enough benefits!
Republican solution: Savings from corporate tax cuts will flow directly to you, and the immigrants are taking your benefits.
Democratic solution: Tax the capital gains of the corporations and uber wealthy who are robbing you.

Civil rights

Republican solution: We'll end wokism, DEI, and affirmative action.
Democratic solution: Not sure about this one.

Education
