….and Trump’s answer to the same question: “Our cities are overrun with crime, our borders are lawless places, jobs are being taken by illegal aliens… probably from mars… some people say… I don’t know but they are bad people… our economy is dreadful, the worst it has ever been… and frankly, we were so much better when I was president… what was the question again?”

our economy is dreadful
Fox "News" the other day was showing Trump yammering about how bad the economy is while a stock ticker in the corner was green. They realized about a minute later and took that part of the screen down. lol
At first I thought the headline said 'Trump's finances will never recover under Harris' and thought 'I'm ok with that.'

If Trump had Biden's stock market performance, he'd be saying he's the greatest leader in the history of the world. I mean, he already says that, but this would be one more piece of evidence he'd be talking about constantly.

You know what makes me so angry about the whole, "Trump had a great economy," point you hear?
Trump INHERITED, like SO MUCH in his life, a GREAT economy that was saved from a recession by Obama, and in turn the Democrats. Was it gangbusters? NO it was LEVELED and MEASURED to keep a boom or bust economy from truly driving us into the Great Depression. And ya know what Trump did? He shit all over it.
He shit all the returns we were getting from somewhat properly taxed corps. The mortgage bust was held by a thin, paper thin, streak of red tape to keep the whole thing from busting. Now we have to compete with major corporations in subdivisions built by the last near fucking recession. What does anyone think will happen under a Republican economy, right now? A loooot of regulations were let loose to allow corps to build back their revenue to keep from a crash, but some corps found loopholes and tax credits, as they often do, to sweep entire markets off the consumer table during these lucrative short months.Do you bet on the Administration that enforces a somewhat regulatory status against such monopolism, or the one the cut loose all Regulations, and allows these corporations to buy more and more homes to the behest of your own population? Trump sucks at everything. Including the economy.

That made too much sense… you really gotta fixate on a single thing…
Migrant crimes… it’s bad. It’s real bad those migrant crimes. The criminals… from these other countries. They come here as migrants. They do crimes. They come from far away places… like Mexico to do crimes… and the democrats. They’re ok with it. They’re giving them drivers licenses. Did you hear that? I heard that they’re giving migrant criminals drivers licenses. They don’t got the cars. So they get these licenses and they steal the cars. All kinds of cars. Mostly trucks… some cars. Probably SUVs too. Then they sell em back to their home country for Pennies on the dollar. It’s a shame. Real bad crimes. Then they use those stolen cars to bring the drugs in. And Kamala’s not doing anything about it. She’s ok with it. Worst border czar in American history. She’s a failure. Not like me, I was the best at border security. They said Mr president you’re so good at this, how do you do it, I say it’s not hard. Not hard for someone like me. But for her, shes bad….

Every day with Trump it's all about gloom and doom. "We have the worst economy, the worst president, the worst vp, the worst...", military members are "suckers and losers", immigrants are "murderers and rapists", etc... He said he would "drain the swamp" when in fact he was the swamp and brought more swamp monsters into government (Bannon, Giuliani, J6ers, etc...) as well as nepotism (his kids and spouses). It's a never ending drumbeat of negativity with him. He is, as Spiro Agnew once coined, a nattering nabob of negativism.
Kamala is a breath of fresh air. She has a much more positive message, a more invigorating one.

What people don't get about civic fiscal spending is...if you set aside expenditures towards investing in public improvement policies like free healthcare, free college education, free vocational training, free internet...those INVESTMENTS...have awesome RETURN OF INVESTMENT rates.
What I never got was why don't we funnel a shit ton of funding into schools for a few decades...and actually upgrade and update our educational system...not none of that "No Child Left Behind Bullshit"...but actual improvements to how students are taught. Then see how other problems evaporate...like crime, poverty, malnourishment, obesity, environmental degradation...and so on.

Yeah he just explained inflation by holding up a pack of tic tacs and mini tic tacs and MSM is like “Sounds good to me!” While Kamala breaks down every question with bullet points and they’re like “ I don’t know…”
MSM wants this to be a tight race so they’re actively doing what they can to boost Trump because if this is a blowout (which current trajectories show) it’s not as dramatic news coverage.
They don’t want to call election night at 8:14 Eastern for her because what’s the coverage after that?

So people will talk about Democrats leaning into these “handout” programs but they often miss the part she mentioned about how investing in the people and giving them a better chance at financial comfort and prosperity widens the base for taxes. Investing in the human capital in this country is essential, and proven to be effective time and time again. She’s a baller. Love that she’s able to answer these questions coherently and quickly.

Fear mongering and 3 word slogans like “Drill Baby Drill”, “Build The Wall” and “Lock Her Up” are much more compatible with other morons.

u/optimizingutils Aug 20 '24
Kamala's hitting that ROI phrase to take a swing at the base of small business owners who may be socially liberal but generally more fiscally conservative; I think it is a brilliant move by her. These aren't giveaways, they are strategic investments with a documented history of positive returns. Using the technical term might make some folks think "okay, so she does care about costs, but she has done what I would do when buying a new machine- cash flow analysis."

Media: great answer that’s so smart!
Media to Harris: what specific solutions do you bring to solving the climate crisis, can you provide your exact policy with cited page numbers and the estimated impacts on the environment?
Harris: we have to…
Media: I’m going to cut you off there to ask a follow up, how will your policies accomplish anything while billionaires and oil corporations continue to skirt the regulations?

While she didn't directly answer the question of how she'd pay for the tax credits (in a way that is budget neutral or positive), her points on ROI for said credits are great and something I don't see from the GOP at all.
They talk about "helping the little guy" which sounds great, but then they give enormous subsidies to rich douche bags that basically have no ROI whatsoever.
How does giving Jeff Bezos an extra $100M a year that he's just going to reinvest into stocks and whatnot going to help our country grow and prosper? He's not even buying shit that drives any kind of real employment like if he bought a yacht or 50x Rolls Royces or whatever where people would have to be hired to make those things.
