She's going to do normal things like let the Federal Reserve set interest rates high enough to bring inflation down without killing the economy. This approach has been slow but successful thus far. Trump and his associates were talking about taking control over interest rate policy but apparently backing off now. That would be a disaster. What is Trump gonna do about inflation that inspires you so much - think tariffs will help inflation.

It is so ironic. Move to a far right nation then abuse capitalists in America for every problem. Socialists to save the day. Most farangs left socialist countries to live in Thailand.

what is globalization?

I've heard that word for decades and still not sure what it means.

if we opened up all the borders and there was a "One World Govt" then all wars would cease. 

I'm not even sure you know what globalization means or have put much thought into it and assume it's something evil.

 

And I don't think one man can take over the world. It doesnt work that way. 

 

"Globalism" or "globalist" is what is now used in place of the 20th century's "cosmopolitanism". Both are dog whistle terms for anti-Jewish sentiment.

IMO it doesn't matter to his supporters that he is or is not part of the elites, just that he wasn't a Washington creature. IMO they hate Washington so much that they will support anyone that says they will destroy it, even if that isn't true in practice.

It was for that reason, IMO, that they loved the idea of locking up HRC, a leading Washington swamp dweller.

The fbi, cia , Nsa & MSM and others such as the DOJ of unelected officials hold the key to the kingdom of Washington .When they censor OR REFUSE to cover issues,debate or use declaring a investigation and can’t talk about it,democracy dies in darkness.

Pro-palestine movement is also an anti jewish sentiment, or at least thats what it has become for the american left. Antisemitism on both sides of the extreme spectrum

Yes, I suspect that some of the pro-Palestinian movement is anti-Jewish, perhaps a large portion. Anti-Jewish sentiment spans both sides of the political divide.

 

So far, I haven't heard much pro-Palestinian rhetoric from Harris or Walz, but maybe it is early days. Trump does state that he's against globalism, however.

Dont think youd care but inflation has to do with how much dollars are in circulation. The federal reserve prints more dollars and the money in circulation becomes worth less. Communists blame this on businesses as you have. Inflation is because of the government and solely the government

Wrong. Its a combination of money in circulation and pricing from suppliers. There are a number of other factors but big corp is one of the main contributors. You'd know that if you looked at the financials of these companies

Or "Let's move to Thailand, complain about how our countries are declining, blame the immigrants for all the nations' woes (oh, the irony), demand stronger policing and then complain when they get it".

[Cameroni]

Kamala had a cunning plan. She was going to fix inflation with price controls. What she had failed to realise, is that price controls actually cause inflation because they are superb at creating scarcity.

 

A cursory look at history form the Roman empire to the French revolution would have sufficed to learn that price controls almost always result in making inflation worse.

Absolutely, it would have been a disaster for shops and supermarkets, since groceries are already penny profit margins.

 

Thankfully, it looks like Trump is on course to win the swing states so we won't have to find out.

As is typical of these kind of attempted partisan political hit pieces, the above clip is taken out of context (no reference to when/where the remarks were given) and provides only the opening halting 1 minute portion of what in fact was an almost 4-minute long, cogent, detailed and specific answer given by Vice President Harris back in November 2021 during a press conference at the Paris Peace Summit that included a major focus on the U.S.-France relationship and international relations issues (and not U.S. domestic inflation).

 

But nonetheless, Harris' full answer to a Bloomberg reporter's question starting at the 22:30 point about U.S. inflation amid the COVID pandemic and what at the time was the administration's Build Back Better legislative proposal that ultimately became the enacted Inflation Reduction Act is here starting at the 22:55 time point and concluding at about 26:40.

 

 

 

Also, Fox News later posted a partial transcript of Harris' comments that I can only partially quote below, as per forum rules:

 

""So we have addressed it in a number of ways. One of the issues that we know is related to this is the supply chain issue that we just discussed. So on a domestic level, in terms of domestic policy, one of the approaches we have taken is to work with labor unions and to work with municipalities in opening back up and extending the hours of our ports," she said.

...

"There is also a point that is important to make on the Build Back Better framework. One, it is designed to make it less expensive for working people to live. It was specifically designed to bring down the costs of child care and increase accessibility and availability. Designed to bring down the cost of elder care and make it available to all the working families that need that support and need that help," she said. 

 

"And, Build Back Better is not going to cost anything — we're paying for it. So when we can get Build Back Better passed, and we are optimistic that we will, the American people will see costs actually reduced around some of the most essential services that they need to take care of their basic responsibilities, including issues like child care and elder care, and also preschool," Harris said. 

 

And more comments from her answer after that, as given in the above video.

When you can't argue with the content, a stammering, child like and clueless Kamala, attack the messenger.

 

Classy.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

 

Harris' full 4 minute long answer to the asked question was clear, detailed and cogent...  But readers here of only the OP don't get to see/hear any of that, because the failed Republican congressional candidate consciously decided to post only the small opening part of Harris' actual detailed answer, which came to a question having nothing to do with the event and discussion Harris was participating in.

 

Nor does the OP post make clear that the video clip in question was back from 2021 at an event in Paris where the substance of the meeting and discussions were about the U.S.-France relationship and global international cooperation, not U.S. domestic inflation. So perhaps that's why it took Harris a moment to reorient her thoughts to an entirely unrelated out-of-left-field question before proceeding to give a clear and specific answer.

 

Adams' lately posting a clipped, out-of-context excerpt video from three years ago that omitted the substance of Harris' actual answer is anything but classy.

There is a distinct pattern if you watch Harris gaffes regularly on Youtube, she takes an inordinate amount of time to struggle for something to say, to "orient" herself as you say. Only for her to then to come up with over simplistic kindergarten speak. 

 

I'm not saying she's stupid, as a lawyer and DA, she's obviously above average smart, but when it comes to thinking on the fly, she's not the fastest car in the garage.

There's nothing in the meat of Harris' actual full answer, as posted in the full video I linked above, that was "simplistic kindergarten speak." But she was a bit slow to focus in on the asked topic, which of course is why the various Republicans choose to post and reference only that brief into to her remarks, and ignore/omit the substance of all the rest.

 

No one with a non-partisan mindset who would read / view Harris' full answer as given in the video above would describe it as you have. Clear evidence below.

 

Harris transcript from Fox:

 

"There is also a point that is important to make on the Build Back Better framework. One, it is designed to make it less expensive for working people to live. It was specifically designed to bring down the costs of child care and increase accessibility and availability. Designed to bring down the cost of elder care and make it available to all the working families that need that support and need that help," she said.
