Do you understand how stupid the rest of the world actually think of people like you? We are all amazed by the stupidity it takes to uncritically, actually accept all the GOP lies.
Once upon a time, we all laughed at the Jay Walking show, when Jay
Leno asked US people simple questions that even we in the free world
could answer, but not even highly educated USAians could. Now, ten years later, it seems like you are even dumber than then...
The USA is definitively going down the drains. Even your teenagers knows it, and they see no other way out but going out with a big AR-15 suicide by cop bang.
Presumably Ron is referring to the inflation spike that the US is currently
experiencing.
It's no coincidence that Catholics and evangelicals tend to buy into all of
the GOP lies. They are trained from infancy to accept things without evidence. And that is a very useful trait for the population to have in a tyranny, not so much in a democracy.

Oh, give it another decade. You'll be wishing for today.
There's an oil crisis going on.
But of course, that would hurt the big GOP donors, so it won't be happening
anytime soon.
True. The most important thing for you in the USA at the moment is to elect lawmakers that will make it illegal for any "donations" above $200 to either persons nor parties or other organisations. Corruption problem solved without even changing or amending your sacred constitution.
This country sucks at handling elections. Do they have more integrity
in Sweden?

Such a rule would
help, but it would not solve the problem of "independent" PACs spending all sorts of money in support of some political candidate.

Don't you have some law that makes them tell the IRS
about "donations" above $200? If not, I'm sorry, I got lost
somewhere in the labyrinth of US corruption. :-)

Not that I know of. Note that there is the IRS who collect taxes and
the Campaign Finance folks who monitor donations to political
candidates.

Well, excuse an effin furrener for not being able to keep track of
all the corruption going on in the US of A. But I *DO* know, that
at least in some states, there was attempts to put a limit
to the bribes.
Like e.g. this:
"County residents, frustrated by money's influence on
politics, set the $200 cap by a vote in 1990. Since then,
use of the corporation loophole in campaign financing has
become a familiar phenomenon in Sarasota County."
Yeah, well, good luck with your rampant corruption, that probably
will not end well, unless you at least first cap all donations, and
secondly get rid of that corruption capitol of yours, the
senate, that has not contributed anything positive to your
country for more than a century.
This country sucks at handling elections. Do they have more integrity in Sweden?
Well, maybe not, but if anyone is caught taking bribes, all hell is being raised. It is totally illegal here. :-)
secondly get rid of that corruption capitol of yours, the
senate, that has not contributed anything positive to your
country for more than a century.
I would not go that far. Think Civil Rights Act, ACA (aka Obamacare).
I could not argue with for more than a decade though.

How exactly did the Senate contribute to any of those two? Isn't it
the Congress that writes the laws, and the Senate that blocks
them? At least those that does not conform to the will of
their major donors...

The Senate is part of the Congress. No bill becomes law without being passed by the Senate (and the House).

I know that. Hence my question, how has the Senate ever
*contributed* to anything? Do they make the laws any better
in some strange way?

Sometimes the Senate contributes, sometimes they take away from a house bill before passing it, and sometimes they originate a new bill -- such
as the (weak) gun control that was just passed by both chambers and
signed by Biden.
