And the recent Dem economic policies have been downright awful. The Inflation Reduction Act should have been called the Inflation Acceleration Act (Heck there wasn't any part of it designed to lower inflation, and its' actual results weren't really a surprise to anyone) - that was a massive hit on the middle class.

I made this comment in another thread. Inflation post COVID was a worldwide issue, if you look at where the US ranked in 2023 on the list we are far far down that list. To blame the Biden Administration for a problem that was a global problem and far worse in so many other countries is flat out wrong. By the way the Inflation Reducton Act succeeded. Inflation was cut nearly in half from 22 to 23. .

As for the ACA the income limits for subsidies goes to $58,320, For a 2 person household that figure goes up to $78,880. That is most definitely middle class in America so again your claim that the ACA prevents lower and middle class workers from qualifying is simply not backed up by the facts.
