Here are six of the likeliest candidates as of November 2021.

Public Opinion Is Unified on Lowering Drug Prices. Why Are Leaders Settling for Less?
Democrats and Republicans are crystal clear in polls that they want government to be allowed to negotiate down high drug prices.

“So Much For The Cars Under $20,000,” lamented Jalopnik on November 1.

Marjorie Taylor Greene saves taxpayers thousands of dollars with this one neat trick
Love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is dedicated to protecting the interests of the everyday taxpayer.

The Coming Recession, Predicted by McDonald’s
On August 4, 2006, McDonald’s Corporation (MCD) closed the day at $35.41 per share. It was a respectable performance for the fast food giant; known for cheap, quick meals, McDonald’s had struggled in the 2000s during a time when consumers began looking at better options.

If you think inflation is bad, wait until you see rent prices
Inflation, reports CNN, is “a political nightmare for Biden.” Over the last twelve months, the cost of living rose 6.2%. That’s the highest rate since the Clinton administration, and it means an expensive holiday and winter for Americans, something they usually aren’t super keen about. Food prices are up. Toy prices are up. Home heating costs are up. It’s bad news for the Biden administration. … Continue reading If you think inflation is bad, wait until you see rent prices
