OOTB's Political Thread . ..

lol, your copout is so typically transparent. True I am not familiar with the journalist in question other than what I saw of her interview, and that interview is what I was basing my remarks on and only what I was basing my remarks on simply because we were not talking about anything else UNTIL YOU made your 'more often than not' generality about credentials.

You may have been applying that to the interviewer in question but still it was a simpleton notion, tellingly made in a general way, which I quashed; as it applied in general and thereby in regard to the woman in question.

Too bad you didn't read more of my post, you missed an opportunity to see what a fool you make of yourself when you try too hard. You're fool enough when you do that, but even more so when you try to retreat without looking like one.

You lost money in 2021 when the S&P 500 was up 27%? That's "special".

It makes no sense. I think he's got a 401 Special K

all I had to say was the entirety of what I said? OK. Thanks, I guess.

Nice GIF, BTW.

It's just more I have to scroll past. When they're especially long, I will take the time to count the paragraphs.

It's mind-numbing to imagine that anyone is dumb enough to believe this delusional dotard.

I just wonder if Nikki Haley's prediction will come true.

Kamala vs Trump - Economic Plans

Democratic presidential nominee and sitting vice president Kamala Harris has promised to continue the economic policies of the Biden-Harris administration and focus on cutting costs for families. She has called for a federal law against price gouging on groceries during times of crisis, cutting taxes for families, and enabling Medicare to pay for home health aides. She has proposed $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers and promised to work with the private sector to build 3 million new housing units by the end of her first term.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which focuses on the direct effect of policies on the federal debt, estimated that Harris’s plans would add $3.5 trillion to the debt.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has promised to extend his 2017 tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and to impose a 10% to 20% tariff across the board on imported goods and a 60% tariff on goods from China. Tariffs are taxes paid by American consumers, and economists predict such tariffs would cost an average family more than $2,600 a year. Overall, the effect of these policies would be to shift the weight of taxation even further toward middle-class and lower-class Americans and away from the wealthy.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that these plans would add $7.5 trillion to the debt.

A report from the Labor Department yesterday showed that inflation has dropped again, falling back to 2.4%, the same rate as it was just before the coronavirus pandemic.

That tariff idea should be enough for anyone to not vote for the guy.

That tariff idea should be enough for anyone to not vote for the guy.

Especially after the dumbass continues to not understand how tariffs actually work.

She has called for a federal law against price gouging on groceries during times of crisis,

well, certainly it would qualify as a time of crisis if she gets elected and continues bidenomics. I wonder if there would be a czar of price-gouging or if she would deny any czardom. I can imagine the interview....

"Have you been to the grocery store?"

" I don't understand the question."

"There is a crisis of price-gouging at the grocery store."

"I don't know what your question is getting at."

"There is price-gouging going on at the grocery store, and you haven't been there."

"Well, I haven't been to Macy's either. CACKLE, cackle cackle cackle..."
