Kamala Harris and the Economy: Why Trust in a Democrat Matters

As a Democrat, you might wonder why I trust and support Kamala Harris on the economy. Is it blind loyalty, or a rational assessment of policies and outcomes?

Understanding the Current Economic Picture

The perception that the economy has been 'broken' in the past four years is more about ill-informed opinions than reality. Kamala Harris has not managed the economy; the President and his policies have been the primary factor affecting economic conditions. As a vice president, her role is to support and advise the President, not to take direct control of economic policies. Therefore, it's important to understand that her influence on the economy, while significant, is secondary to the leadership of the President.

Comparing Economic Conditions and Policies

Four years ago, the economy under the Trump administration was in the worst shape ever. Millions of Americans faced unemployment, poverty, and hopelessness. Trump's response was utterly inadequate, recommending dangerous remedies like ingesting disinfectant. This period was marked by a massive economic collapse and a lack of competent leadership to address the challenges.

When Biden was elected, the country faced a critical juncture. The administration faced an unprecedented task of recovery and rebuilding. Key policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act were crucial in reversing the negative trends. This bill, being the largest investment in the American industrial base since WWII, has significantly contributed to the recovery and growth of the economy.

Contrast this with the ndoctrinal plans of those advocating for a return to the Trump era. One of the proposed ideas is an increase in tariffs, similar to the disastrous policies implemented during the Trump administration, which further undermined the agricultural sector and required constant bailouts.

Economic Recovery Under Biden

Since Biden took office, the economy has demonstrated resilience and growth, far surpassing predictions. The United States and Mexico are now recession-proof for at least the next decade, due to the significant investment in industrial infrastructure. The administration's efforts have not only stabilized but also strengthened the economy, creating a more stable and sustainable economic future.

Challenges and Future Directions

It's imperative to consider the stark differences between the current administration and the one being called for by challengers. The previous administration's policies led to significant economic challenges, including increased poverty and economic recessions. The greater good lies in supporting the current administration's efforts to build a stronger, more resilient economy. The ongoing pandemic has magnified these issues, with many families and businesses struggling to recover. The choice in November is clear: support a leader with a proven track record of positive economic policy, or revert to a destructive and unstable economic approach.

Conclusion

When I trust Kamala Harris on the economy, it's not blind loyalty; it's a trusting vote for a functional, effective, and forward-thinking administration. I believe that the current policies, under the leadership of President Biden, are better suited to address the complex economic challenges we face. Supporting Kamala Harris means supporting a future where the economy continues to grow and prosper for all Americans.
