Not being personally held hostage by either democrat or republican parties, how will affordability be more affordable in the near future in this country. Payroll, health insurance, finance and taxes are a few overheads of business and companies that will never go down and will pass down to the users. We may have some downward fluctuations in gas prices and a few other items but that’s it. For the most part everything else in cost will rise. If the Democrats ran on affordability and won, how are they going to accomplish this feat in such a short time?
