But it was said that Trump was elected because he connected with the working class.

[Independent thinker]

You didn't trick anyone. Most of the 86 million people who didn't vote will show up, that is how it's going to happen.

Keep on thinking that. Funny how you think that only racists vote and non racists don’t vote. I tricked your sorry ass.

Trump’s agriculture secretary claims meals ‘can cost around $3’ as food prices surge

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said Americans can meet their nutritional needs on just $9 a day, claiming that one health meal “can cost around $3.”

According to the Consumer Price Index, food prices continued to rise in December, climbing 0.7%, which was the largest month-over-month increase since October 2022. Produce prices jumped 0.5% while coffee spiked 1.9%. Beef rose 1% last month and 16.4% from the year before.

On Wednesday, Rollins appeared on NewsNation, where Connell McShane noted the government’s revamped food pyramid and asked how the increase in grocery prices could affect some Americans’ ability to eat healthy and affordably.

“We’ve run over a thousand simulations,” Rollins said. “It can cost around $3 a meal for a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a, you know, corn, tortilla, and one other thing. And so there is a way to do this that actually will save the average American consumer money.”

MSN

I read on another site that what she said was right. A person can eat for 3 dollars per meal. However, the meal would not provide enough calories to meet human needs.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture defines one portion of chicken as 3 ounces when cooked. For this estimate, we're defining "a piece of broccoli" as 1 ounce, since an entire head is usually around a pound. So, based on that math, Rollins is right. The meal she described would average out to about $0.68 per person before that "one other thing" is added.

The question now is whether the meal Rollins described is healthy.

While the government's new guidelines don't give specific advice for how many calories a person should eat, the general guideline is 2,000 calories per day.

A three-ounce portion of chicken breast is between 120 and 160 calories, one broccoli floret is between 1 and 3 calories and one 6-inch corn tortilla is 50-60 calories. That means this meal would range anywhere between 171 and 223 calories (again, not including the undescribed "one other thing.")

Assuming a person ate three meals a day with no snacks, that means the fourth item would need to be 495 to 444 calories to meet the 2,000/day requirement.

SECTION 2: Build an Opportunity Economy to Help Americans

Get Ahead and Build Wealth

Help Americans Buy a Home and Afford Rent
Unlocking 1.2 million new affordable rental homes through historic incentives for the private sector. By passing a historic expansion of the LIHTC program, Vice President Harris will unlock the full potential of America’s building sector to provide an affordable rental home to every American who needs one.

Creating a new tax credit to rehabilitate affordable housing for homeowners who want to stay in their communities. Vice President Harris would fill this gap by creating a new Neighborhood Homes Tax Credit, which would support the new construction or rehabilitation of over 400,000 owner-occupied homes in lower income communities. As with the LIHTC program, each state would receive an allocation of Neighborhood Homes Tax Credits that would then be allocated to specific projects, calculated based on the amount of credit needed to make a construction or a preservation project in a particular community financially viable. The credit would only be available for single-family affordable homes that will be occupied by the owner, with the goal of supporting individuals or families that wish to set down roots in a community—not supporting private equity homebuyers that simply seek to turn a profit.

Building up supply through the first-ever tax incentive for building affordable homes for first-time homebuyers. Vice President Harris is proposing the first-ever tax cut specifically targeted at encouraging homebuild ers to build affordable homes for first-time homebuyers. This would provide significant tax relief for homebuilders who build homes sold to working families and meaning fully change the economics of building homes that are within reach for younger families. This would complement the Neighborhood Homes Tax Credit, which encourages investment in homes that would otherwise be too costly or difficult to develop or rehabilitate.

Launching a $40 Billion Local Innovation Fund for Housing Expansion. Vice President Harris’s plan would provide state and local governments, and private developers and homebuilders, funds to invest in innovative strategies to expand the housing supply. This could include financing the construction of new housing paired with efforts to reduce regulatory burden and cut red tape, employing innovative building and construction techniques to lower costs, and using self-sustaining financing mechanisms to scale new housing construction. This will be a results-driven innovation fund with one core requirement: state and local governments must show that they will deliver results in building rental properties and homes that are affordable.

LOWERING COSTS BY TAKING ON ABUSIVE CORPORATE LANDLORDS

Taking on algorithmic price fixing, which distort markets, and ending unfair practices that help large corporate landlords dramatically raise rents. Vice President Harris is calling on Congress to pass the Preventing the Algorithmic Facilitation of Rental Housing Cartels Act, to crack down on companies that contribute to surging rent prices by making these unfair practices illegal under antitrust laws.

Stopping Wall Street investors from buying up and marking up homes in bulk. Vice President Harris is calling on Congress to pass the Stop Predatory Investing Act, to curtail these practices by removing key tax benefits for major investors that acquire large numbers of single-family rental homes.

This is the plan you guys rejected, and now that Trump comes up with part of the same idea, we see people like you making claims that really don't stand up to the scrutiny of fact.

Finally, it was Trump's Ag Secretary who made the idiotic comments. Trump ain't about the working class. The only working class he apparently connected with was the white working class, and that connection really had nothing to do with their economic condition.

Kamala's plan all sounds fine on the face of it... but how does that take away from Trump siding against Corporations in favor of independent home buyers?

According to you guys Trump is all about big corporations? So in terms of this thread, I dont believe I'm wrong. Even if Kamala Harris did what she was planning, subsidies can often cause prices to actually go up..
it creates an upward pressure, just as we have seen with the out of control prices in Health Care.

Secondly.... this is not why Harris was not elected. Trump mostly won because of immigration and the effect people were seeing in their cities. For the longest time Harris denied there was even a problem at the border and that concerns were just from right wingers being political... but eventually even she had to change a little towards the end when city mayors could no longer remain silent.
Harris'es plan would have trouble working while simultaneously allowing millions of illegal aliens to come here at such a rate that housing availability cant keep up. Good luck with that thought.

Seems to me it was Kamala and Biden who were both showing being out of touch with the American people and the WORKING CLASS who are effected by illegal immigration. Illegal immigration wasnt the only issue that effects the working class, it was also crime.

Trump is doing exactly what Harris wanted to do, and if you elected Trump because of immigration, then you didn't pay attention to the border policy Trump sabotaged. Crime was reduced during Biden. The working class is not affected by immigration. Because the only working class that voted for Trump was the white working class, so none of the stuff you said is why Harris lost.

The Biden Harris administration did more to raise the price of housing across the nation by giving illegals
And assorted h1b types priority and access to loans
Illegal aliens were buying houses with taxpayer money and government Assistance
Not to mention flooding poorer communities with illegal aliens, driving up rents for everyone around them...

I don’t “whine” about the election being stolen in 2020. If anything I laugh my ass off about it. If Dems hadn’t stolen it, President Trump would now be retired. But stealing it, then importing 10+ million illegals has greatly shifted the cultural war in our favor. Now you idiots are defending Somali scammers who stole billions in tax dollars. So much more about the left has been exposed with DOGE and all the rest. You’re far worse off now and we still have 3 more years of President Trump.
