You didn't answer. He ran massive deficits prior to covid, signed off on trillions in "rescue" funds and promised more of reelected. If you're worried about costs due to inflation then putting Trump in office is suicide. The 15 days thing was also pushed by Trump as well as a slow reopening. He simply has no clue what to do and it showed.
But no, I'm not voting for Harris. If you had read any of my posts you would realize that.

No chance a bill signed in mid-March was impacting inflation numbers in April. That’s ridiculous.
The dirty secret is that inflation was coming no matter who was in office in 2021. Global supply issues were going to wreak havoc on prices at some point no matter what. The stimulus bills just distracted from it a little and ultimately just made it last longer.

*I edited your post to get to the subject I've been wondering about, as it pertains to this particular thread.
2024 Presidential Race
To anyone voting in this year's election......
Are there any left leaning PF posters voting for Kamala Harris?!? So far, in this thread, nobody has stepped up and said "I'm voting for Kamala and here's why....." and please do so without mentioning Donald Trump.

That trump said the Biden bucks weren't enough? That one? Trump was all for another package. You people aren't serious. You are sychophants of a charlatan
"Trump signed off on the $2.3 trillion package from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., days after he expressed displeasure with the spending outlined in the omnibus and complained that the coronavirus relief measure should include direct payments of $2,000 per person, up from $600.
But the delay came after Trump single-handedly brought the government to the brink of a shutdown and unemployment benefits expired for millions of Americans Saturday as the bill went unsigned."
The month before he got tossed on his ass

The $1.9T stimulus was not what Trump was wanting. The bill passed included only 10% for COVID response. It was a whos who for democrat wishes including a tax payer funded bailout of union pension funds, $350B additional funds to states to do whatever needed beyond what was already provided. This allowed states with strict lockdowns to get recouped for their efforts. Totally different bill.

That's fine but that's not why I posted in this thread today. If you're NOT voting, I didn't need to hear about your opinion or anyone else that's chimed in on my posts. I know how you and most everyone else in the PF feels about Trump and I'm asking about Harris.
The question I have posted, multiple times, has been "are you voting for Harris and can you list your reasons without mentioning Trump?". I've gotten several "I'm not voting" and "Trump blah, blah, blah". No one has answered the question.

Trump wanted bigger checks for individuals than Biden bucks. On record for saying it. If you think the $2 trillion Biden did in spending was worse than the $2 trillion Trump did then you are just picking and choosing. They BOTH drove stupid inflation. As did all the dumb spending before them. I only know of one candidate vowing to eliminate that problem. It rhymes with rump

"The United States budget deficit for fiscal year (FY) 2017 was $665.7 billion, which was $80 billion more than the previous year. This was an increase from 3.2% of GDP in 2016 to 3.5% in 2017. The deficit was also $107 billion higher than the CBO's January 2017 forecast of $559 billion."
"During fiscal year 2018: A $127.1 billion increase in outlays was offset in part by a $13.8 billion increase in receipts to increase the budget deficit by $113.3 billion (about 17.0 percent) to $779.0 billion."
"In 2019, the US federal budget deficit was $984.4 billion, which was a 26.4% increase from 2018 and 4.6% of the gross domestic product (GDP). This was described as an "unprecedented increase during good economic times".
All pre-Covid. All bs.
How did inflation happen?
