At the end of the day Kamala is just Biden 2.0

[Moonglow]

If you are a Marxist Chinese clod.

like this guy

 

[TNHarley]

Thereis no pedophiia to criticize. This is another lie.

Just like Harris took money from FEMA to pay undocumented immigrants.

You excuse it. You are no better than him.
Disgusting.

 

[Foxfyre]

Biden may still be smarter even in his condition!

That could be possible. At least more knowledgeable about stuff a President needs to be knowledgeable about.

 

[Care4all]

People's grocery bills say otherwise. So do gas prices. Interest rates. Insurance rates. 15 million illegals mulling around committing crimes.

Nothing we can't deal with and nothing we haven't dealt with previously.

My first home mortgage was at 13.5% during Reagan... and my second home bought, the mortgage was at 8%!!! That was during Clinton...

It stunk to high heaven, BIG TIME, multiplied by 100! Especially when younger and lower income.

Guess what? We survived and came out with making a huge profit on the second home bought, and those high interest rates that we suffered through, came back to us.

And, haven't you noticed, mortgage rates are coming down again...

And that ridiculously high inflation rate has subsided also...

And gas rates have also dropped since Biden's high...

Prices on goods will never go down much lower than they are....capitalist/businesses saw that we would pay the higher prices so they have no reason to bring them down.... If we had resisted the higher prices there would have been incentive for businesses to lower prices to sell their inventory....

But the shortages from covid and lack of inventory on hand, it took a year or two to increase their inventory back to normal operating levels.... This kept prices high initially.... to slow the rate of sale until the next shipment arrives, owners didn't want shelves to be empty...

Even if gas prices go down, businesses will not pass this savings of theirs on to us...because they know they don't have to because we will still buy it, so they will profit from reduced fuel prices....not us.

Trump's economic plan of tariffs only results in us, the consumers, paying the tariff which ends up in the treasury...basically we the people will be paying much more in taxes to the govt, via those tariffs...and the higher prices we will have to pay will be...inflation Part Deux!

I do not blame Biden/Harris/Democrats for all the inflation when the economy opened back up. It was pretty much a COVID caused world phenomenon.

I do blame them mostly for the economy being shut down too long that severely exacerbated inflation. I do blame them mostly for insane spending bills that helped pretty much nobody but exacerbated inflation. I do blame them most for policy/regulatiion that kept and keeps prices at artificially high levels. I do blame them for a needlessly sluggish economy in which wages nowhere nearly kept up with the rate of inflation, in which most new jobs were in government, healthcare and hospitality instead of where they would have helped the most. Hospitality jobs are generally lower pay with fewer benefits and are less stable than other jobs.

And the cruel aspect of inflation is illustrated:
Year one you gain 50 pounds. Unacceptable yes?
Year two you gain 35 pounds. Much better but still distressing and unhealthy.
Year three you gain 10 pounds. Improving but you're still getting heavier.
Year four you gain 5 pounds. Almost nothing at all.

But you still weigh 100 pounds more than when you started.

In 2019 I was paying roughly 65 to 75 cents for a head of lettuce. The last I bought was $1.99.

In 2019 I was paying 84 cents for a loaf of Albertson's store brand bread. The last I bought was $1.89

The government is reporting low inflation numbers. But we are seeing prices continue to go up at the grocery store et al but our incomes are not increasing, at least proportionately.

Those who can afford the inflation don't mind it so much. But those of us who have to seriously compromise to be able to afford to buy groceries do mind. And my heart breaks when I see people looking at the price on a ham or hamburger or produce and you know they want it so badly but they put it down and walk on because they can no longer afford it.

A Trump economy may not be able to bring prices back down to 2019 levels. But it will likely produce good paying jobs and increases in wages or reduce expenses/taxes etc. in other ways that will help more people enjoy increased quality of life. And if that results in increased supply and demand, lower prices will result.

Administrations work best when there are many differing viewpoints with them. Otherwise it just can't work as well.

That is true when everybody's goal is to come up with the best possible policies/legislation for America and Americans. Otherwise they never reach a good consensus on much of anything.

Administrations work best when they do what is best for America and Americans instead of what benefits those in government and they don't care what the short or long range affect on the citizens might be.

That is why I voted Trump this year instead of for Biden 2.0.

Correct that's why I won't be voting.

You should be voting for Trump. Whatever you think of him personally, his first administration was wonderful for almost all demographics in America. And there is no reason to think a second term would be any different.

When someone tells me how to vote it just pushes me further away from voting. I don't see even a respectable choice so I'm sitting it out and letting the rest of the masses quibble over it.

Your choice. It's a free country. I prefer to put my convictions into a vote for a strong, secure, free America where the people can enjoy peace, prosperity, choices, options, opportunity. To not vote for Trump and the GOP would be to encourage more of the disaster the Biden/Harris administration has been.

If she is Biden 2.0, she is way better than trump.

I'm sorry. But a non vote is a big 'screw you' or "I don't give a damn what they do to you' to America and Americans in which the foundation is a government of, for, and by the people.

Because we secure the unalienable right of every citizen to feel, think, believe as he/she does, it is your right to give a big 'screw you' or "I don't give a damn' to your fellow Americans. But in my opinion that is exactly what a non vote is.

And this year we have clear choices:

More militarization/weaponization of an increasingly authoritarian/totalitarian minded government under Harris/Walz or

Liberty, opportunity, choices, options, more peace, less risk, more prosperity for all Americans under Trump/Vance.

Trump would be bragging from the rooftops about how great he is, if he had been able to accomplish with the economy as Biden has....we are the envy of the world. Your media has brainwashed its viewers in to all NEGATIVE POUNDING, 24/7, that simply is not true.

The robust U.S. economy is leaving ‘other rich countries in the dust’​

International observers agree: The U.S. economy is “the envy of the world.” The question is which presidential candidate will keep it that way.

It wasn’t long ago when Republicans expected to focus heavily on the economy in the 2024 elections. Reality has gotten in the way.
In fact, it was just a few weeks ago when The New York Times reported that the U.S. job market “is as healthy as it has ever been” — as in, in the history of the United States — and described recent economic growth as “robust.” A few days later, The Washington Post’s Heather Long explained in a column that by “just about every measure, the U.S. economy is in good shape. Growth is strong. Unemployment is low. Inflation is back down. More important, many Americans are getting sizable pay raises, and middle-class wealth has surged to record levels. We are living through one of the best economic years of many people’s lifetimes.”

The same day, Politico described the status quo as “a dream economy.”
But there’s also an international dimension to this. The Wall Street Journal reported:

The U.S. is increasingly pulling ahead of the world’s advanced economies, with a surge of investment paying off in higher productivity and wages. The International Monetary Fund highlights those divergent paths in its latest global scorecard, released Tuesday. In what has become something of a trend, the IMF upgraded the outlook for both U.S. and global growth, though moround this time four years ago, Donald Trump told supporters that Democratic policies would “unleash an economic disaster of epic proportions” and force the country “into depression.”

---------------------------

Oops.

Of course, the larger question isn’t just about the status quo, it’s also about the future. The U.S. economy is strong now, but what about what’s to come?

-------------------


As it turns out, 23 Nobel Prize-winning economists endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris over Trump in a joint letter released this week, explaining that the Republican’s agenda would “lead to higher prices, larger deficits, and greater inequality.”

“Simply put, Harris’s policies will result in a stronger economic performance, with economic growth that is more robust, more sustainable, and more equitable,” the letter added.

I'm sorry but leftist propaganda doesn't work with me whether via MSM or presumed Nobel winning economists who probably don't know many people who live in the real world. I live in the real world with real people who have real problems because of an economy that is not working for the vast majority of Americans.

They said the same of Obama but those of us who were running businesses and trying to make a living, we knew better. Those who swallowed the propaganda probably believed it. The truth is the economy was sluggish and miserable for many.

More than 90% of all the jobs created under eight years of Obama were part time jobs that offered few if any benefits. Most of those created under Biden/Harris have been government jobs that take as much out of the economy as they contribute or jobs in the hospitality industry that are usually low paying and offer few if any benefits.

Most jobs created under Trump were full time jobs with benefits and that situation was getting better and better until COVID hit.

The leftist economists and MSM can put all the lipstick they can find on the current pig and most people won't believe things are good for them.
