My friends- all the govt and analyst ‘markers’ of our economy continue to indicate that this is still a troubled economy- nearly four years after Biden and democrats decided to tamper-and touch off 40-year high inflation- with policies that harmed entire industries and every working- and middle-class family in this country...
And one worry that the democrat’s accomplices in the media have been expressing ever since last Friday is: what if the economy tanks right as people start to vote?
I mean-we can’t keep gaslighting for Kammy- if it’s only going to make the American people angry, because they know better.
These ugly economic reports are starting to have some liberal talking heads saying: the Harris honeymoon may be coming to an end.
This week’s news-includes the news that Americans now owe a record amount of credit card debt-and this is after we paid a massive amount of it off-during covid. Remember?
Most Americans were stuck in their homes. There wasn’t much to spend your paycheck on. Other groups of Americans were getting bigger, enhanced, welfare and social services payments. One positive side effect of covid is that large numbers of people paid off-or paid ‘down’ their credit cards.
Well- after three years of Biden’s inflation and most Americans being unable to meet their bills or live their lifestyles with only their paychecks-
Americans are now carrying over 1.1 trillion dollars in credit card debt. The most ever-in the history of the country.
And -wow- was this a fast turnaround.
And-wow- can it be blamed on one reason: Biden’s inflation. And for Harris and other democrats? - it’s terrible news that the American people know exactly who to blame- as their debt grows.
The interest rates on virtually everyone’s credit cards have also gone up due to Biden’s inflation and the federal reserves’ myriad interest rate hikes, right?
That credit card that might have been charging you 13 or 15 percent interest- pre-Biden- is now charging you 20 or 23 percent interest...piling even more financial harm onto you.
Having a lot of credit card debt is a- terrible situation-for young people and those on the lower income rungs to get into: man, you are wasting significant amounts of money on credit card interest. Especially in this era.
Live within your means, if you can.
But understand- a massive amount of this new credit card debt comes from responsible Americans on the lower rungs or just starting out -who cannot- live within their means in Joe Biden’s America.
And it is those people, especially, who need to understand that another four years of Kamala Harris and democrat control of the economy is going to mean another four years of continuing hardship and even more accumulated debt.
You’ll only get out from under these debts if the economy turns around, and the only way that happens is if you ‘vote Trump’ and he wins.
And it -really-is that simple. There are no exaggerations this time: you just lived thru four years of democrat policies.
Not specifically ‘Biden’ policies...or ‘Bernie’ policies. These are party policies. These are ‘Kamala’s policies’ now- because she’s clearly not smart enough to run an economy and is going to have to rely on the same crappy advisors Joe Biden and Barrack Obama did.
You also-most of you- just recently lived thru the Donald Trump era-and what was the best economy in 50 years- by nearly every measure.
I can also tell you that-if trump wins- the same economists and experts who were advising him will be back- to do it again. Brilliant men like Larry Kudlow and Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore...
How you vote-determines your financial fortunes in a more direct way than, perhaps, ever before....in most of our lifetimes. Certainly, more than in any presidential election since at least Carter/Reagan in 1980.
Oh-there’s also this news this week, after the post-covid boom- raises and benefits are now shrinking and the ‘owners’ and ‘bosses’ have the upper hand in the ‘paycheck game’ again.
There will also be fewer opportunities to ‘job hop’ in 2025...so if you don’t like your job now and have been thinking about switching over to something else I wouldn’t delay.
You could find yourself with very few offers-and no leverage- in a few months, here.
This should all be ‘added’ to the reasons that ‘flights of fancy, aside’.... voters cannot be tricked into voting Kamala Harris into the presidency.
So how in the hell can Kamala Harris be this close in the polls?
It makes me believe- again- that if Ron DeSantis or a fresher, more compelling face, was the face of the other side of the aisle- these polls would be showing wider margins.
But with all of the advantages tipped in trump’s favor- if he loses this race in fall- any talk of Donald Trump being a future candidate or the ‘continued leader’ of this party needs to end immediately.
If Trump/Vance cannot ‘pull out the win’ with all of these different winds at their back-
With all the issues ‘on their side’-
With 65 to 70 percent of the country saying we are on the wrong track and wanting change-
If trump can’t win this fall-
He should never. Ever. Be heard from again.
He shouldn’t even be allowed to ‘chime in’ on GOP matters moving forward if he blows this one.
And I’m not kidding.
