    Seems to me like Harris has some people a bit worried

    I was only joking

      @Jolly

      I’m sure she will keep many similar to identical policies. But the process is the same. She’d get a team of advisors to work on a policy platform and when they finish they would publish it. That takes a bit of time for all confidantes. Harris just got a late start.

        @Jolly Of the 19 things you listed, which of them realistically will be completed>

        For example #3

        End inflation, and make america affordable again

        What does that even mean????? LOL. We are not going to have deflation (or at least I hope not), so prices will never be what they were before. I am not even sure that 0% inflation is a good thing (though my understanding is that there was 0% inflation for hundred + years before the industry revolution.) At the end of the year, I think that inflation will be <3%. What handles can he turn to control this? It is almost 100% sure that there will always be inflation. Same with #5 (manufacturing jobs). He already had a chance with this, and the US lost 175K manufacturing jobs during his first term. What is he doing differently?

        Easy to campaign - tough to govern. He is lucky that President Biden has been a weak and poor president.

            I bet he has precisely zero ideas on how to bring the price level down.

            In fact he and Vance often talk about appliances being too cheap.

                No, I've heard two or three specifics. You're welcome to listen to him. 😀

                    I’ve heard them get really specific but it’s about how to goose inflation.

                        On the 'swipe of my pen' clip, I would recommend watching it in context. It starts aroud the 50 minute mark, maybe a bit before.
