President Kamala Harris

BTW, were I living in the US, I would have been inclined to vote for Biden.

A summary of how I see Biden/Trump. With Harris now injected.

 

Industrial policy: Biden has done well here. Reshoring and increasing industry where Trump utterly failed to complete his promises. (But that isn't making my dollar stronger.)

 

Medical expenses: Biden did well capping prices for medicine. But there should have been Medicare for all. And non-citizens should not be eligible for any medical program or subsidy at all. (But that isn't making my dollar stronger.)

 

Inflation: Biden has brought the inflation rate back down. But he and Trump with their Covid spending both were responsible for the spike in the first place. Biden has also flooded the country with illegal labor to cut wages and bring down inflation. Not to mention draining the strategic oil reserve. (But this only made my dollar marginally stronger.)

 

The Border: a catastrophe. And everybody knows it. Overwhelming the country with 3-4 million border crossers is the equivalent of a cultural neutron bomb. And spending money on them has deepened the deficit. (This made my dollar weaker.)

 

Ukraine and Israel: I support both countries and think Biden has acted correctly to back both of them, although I fear Harris is a terrorist appeaser. (But this isn't making my dollar stronger.)

 

Taiwan: I think that neither Biden-Harris or Trump will do a thing to defend Taiwan or the Philippines. Both fear China openly. Trump is probably worse about buckling under to Xi. (This marginally weakens my dollar.)

 

Interest rate policy: Biden-Harris cut rates prematurely to juice the economy with a sugar high. QE is next. (THIS is destroying my dollar.)

 

 

Your vote is up to you.

For me, it's easy.

Trump is a fascist and I don't want that for my country.

You could say the same thing about Australian Aboriginal but it would be racist wouldn't it

You could bring up about just about any off topic thing you want and you probably will.

Keep in mind as you likely know it is the Fed decision to cut interest rates - not politicians. It may not be good for the dollar in the short term - it is a hopeful sign of beating inflation and is a boon to the economy and spending power of borrowers.

As for the US economy under trump (given that he hasn't got a clue)...........

 

“If Donald Trump did half of what he’s promising, the results for the US economy would be chaotic and negative,” says Jason Furman, a former White House economist in the Obama administration, who is now a Harvard professor.

“The biggest thing we have on our side against China is we’re part of a bloc of countries that get along pretty well. Putting tariffs on all of those countries would rip that apart.”

 

 “Sixteen Nobel laureates have described his economic plan as something that would increase inflation and, by the middle of next year, would invite a recession,” Harris said in the debate.

No one knows the answer to that, no one will until after the 5 of November.

 

 

Some people already know who will win. Let us recall what happened in the last elections.

Yes, let's do that, and since you brought it up why don't you start?

She has not been "border czar" the past 4 years either?

Kamala blames the border crisis and the invasion of millions of illegals on Trump. You can’t make this up.

 

Are you a charter member of "Foreigners Against Illegal Immigration - in America"?

 

Does it really bother you that someone enters the US illegally ? How about those North Koreans sneaking into China?
