I watched Kamala Harris’ recent Raleigh economic speech online. Two Harris observations:
1. She believes policy problems are solved with government spending.
2. She is economically illiterate with limited leadership skills, characteristics that disqualifies her from presidential consideration.
Take, for example, fighting inflation with price controls. When inflation started raging, the government letter agencies were tasked with finding price-gouging examples. They found none. The San Francisco Fed looked, same result. The PPI and CPI price gains tracked in lock step, no gouging. Price controls never work; they lead to product shortages,black markets and small business failures.
Failed outcomes for her other policies could be demonstrated if space permitted, policies for economic growth, border security, crime, taxes, regulations, housing, health care, etc.
I have been voting in presidential elections for 60 years, and in the upcoming election we have a clear choice. I consider Donald Trump the best president during my 60 years of voting. His policy choices were simply outstanding, and his ability to get policies executed in the face of massive opposition was unbelievable. Correct policy choices and execution performance are the only criteria that matters in selecting political leaders.
So, vote Trump and be part of returning America to greatness.
