All of this guy's threads are. Could just start a regular thread about Harris and her policies, but if it's from FortSanders it's going to be overly dramatic and nowhere near objective

I don't see you chiming in with anything that defends/supports what she has proposed. Here's your chance.

No, I think they're both economically illiterate and anyone claiming superiority over spending by either is a moron. Neither will be good for the economy long term

OK. we are ****ed financially with either choice. Let's move on to the other aspects of their administrations. Here's a slam dunk. Border security. Who's better? International relations. (this will be fun).

Or do you somehow you believe that you can change the course of this oncoming train on an anonymous web forum?

Trump will try and build another wall. Hope this one doesn't fall over. Other than that he had no policy to fix it. Deport everyone? Not gonna happen

When your foreign policy consists of paying people off to sign docs there's really not a policy. Freaking Kushner is your bored diplomat? Yeah, you're out of ideas

It's screwed either way. I just wish both parties would stop pretending it's not

So remain in Mexico wasn't working? I agree that they won't all get deported, but at least Trump will put a tourniquet on the severed artery that Puddinhead opened.

Then again, maybe we should all just kill ourselves.

There's not a policy to address the ones already here or the country wide need for labor. No, there's no real policy

Oh. OK. well one thing is for sure (of course no doubt you will disagree) Trump acknowledges the problem and is at least talking about doing something about it. HeelsUp will only throw gas on the tire fire she started.

Harris' thoughts and positions deserve their own thread, they may last through the election.

We are beginning to see the initial outlines of the Harris Doctrine- turning this country into Venezuela. Instead of fixing the root causes of inflation, government policy, Harris wants to fix prices by attacking price gouging.

Catherine Randall in the Washington Post writes...

“Price gouging” is the focus of Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic agenda, her presidential campaign says. She’ll crack down on “excessive prices” and “excessive corporate profits,” particularly for groceries.
So what level counts as “excessive,” you might ask? TBD, but Harris will ban it.

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is. It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels. Far-off Washington bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk.

At best, this would lead to shortages, black markets and hoarding, among other distortions seen previous times countries tried to limit price growth by fiat."

I started to create a thread for the Harris economic plan because I think it won't be the last buffonery we hear from Harris.

I will have to analyze it more but even CNN had an economic analyst who said it was reminiscent of Venezuela, Soviet Union and other failed economic plans.

Consider this is CNN, so this analyst is attempting to be as kind as possible.

At this point it doesn't matter if Harris walks it back after putting her finger in the air to see which way the winds are blowing.

The democrat ticket is a disaster. It might be further left than Bernie Sanders.

Did anyone hear Kamala Harris say "price gauging instead of price gouging?"

I think she doesn't even understand economics enough to know the basic nomenclature. Even if the word was spelled wrong on the teleprompter it's a common sense correction.

It is the same political tactic that Biden used in 2020 and after he took office he stopped the flow of oil that increased the price of freight, that increased grocery prices, that robbed middle class Americans of their earrings. If I were the big oil companies and pharmaceutical companies I would pour money into the Harris campaign to sustain the large profit margins they are getting from the Democrats.

Not for the informed. Facts are facts. Use some stats and prove it wrong.

You have to wonder if she even has an economic advisor.. basic supply/ demand principles.. and giving people the money just makes houses more unaffordable and in turn will probably make rents go up as well.. who in the world is advising her?

Basic supply/demand concepts were front and center by mid 2020. We've been manipulating our economy for 40+ years. It took a heavy duty catalyst, like the pandemic, for the actual science to take effect. We were flooded with cash and then production of real goods almost grinded to a halt. Of course prices at the stores zoomed upwards. The trek down is always much slower, BUT we must allow the market to determine pricing. Not controls
