      I think citizens want civilisation to end. We have a major party that is in favor of guns, in favor of childhood diseases, in favor of inflation, and opposed to the environment. Their candidate most memorably talks about eating pets, injecting people with bleach, and controlling hurricanes with a Sharpie.
      I don't see any suggestion of “improve the economy” in that list, and the talk of immigration on the Right is not about lawful and measured, it's about destroying the moral and economic fabric of society with mass detention and deportation.

      You are right. Immigration must be lawful. Who would just open their front door to anyone on the street and allow strangers to just do what they like in their home?! It's common sense. If any individual wouldn't want that lawless in their own home or neighborhood, why should it be allowed with our country's borders? During democratic convention there were barriers put up all over the place. They aren't that keen for this at the border.
      The Biden admin likes to blame the state of the borders on the Republicans, but it was he that opened it wide. And when there was a outcry by citizens, he decided to take the problem to Congress for political stalling. He opened the borders, he has the power to close it.
      The democratic leadership is trying to create a new voting population.

      I generally agree with this (may have to dig a little to confirm the 50% number), but have to ask: Would you rather have the prices continue to increase at 9% inflation or the most recently reported 2.5% inflation rate? Yes, prices are higher, but give credit where credit is due when it comes to slowing the rate of increase.
      Aside from the 2008 housing crash where home prices tanked, I can't think of many-if any-years where prices this year were lower than previous years. And I would not want another 2008-like crash just to lower prices.

      Inflation isn't measured by the selling price of common consumables. Those are the absolute last effects of inflation.
      If the inflation rate instantly dropped to it's absolute negative equivalent, it would still take months for prices to drop.
      I's possible to have very low inflation, yet still be more expensive than a recent high inflation level price environment.
      So he's technically accurate, but not qualitatively accurate, in my opinion. I agree with your feeling about high prices.

      Exactly. Thank you. The constant complaining will not be solved by a republican. Democrats historically have been the party that takes care of the people and Republicans are for big business. The prices that went up during covid have not all come back down. Trump wants to give even more tax cuts to the wealthy, big business and oil, which already post record profits. They will go to shareholders, not trickle down to us. That lost revenue has to come from somewhere.
      Trump's tariffs will raise prices on imports by 10-20%. As goods enter the US, import tariffs are charged. Tariffs go to the govt but WE pay them in the form of higher prices. Those countries in turn will impose tariffs on our exports, bringing those prices up. Trump doesn't seem to understand this.
      He is now desperately saying that overtime will be tax free. That is doubtful. Social security is already only partially taxed if your income is at high levels.
      One of the biggest losses could be affordable health care, which Republicans have tried to repeal since Obamacare was passed. In that case, the people here complaining about their finances will be one health crisis away from medical poverty.
      People should understand that things could be much worse. If people want more to spend, they should stop buying all the stuff coming from China for a while and save for what they need. It has always been this way. With that said, Harris is offering large tax breaks for new small businesses, $ 6000 tax credit for newborns.and protection of our health care system (Obamacare).

      Yeah the gas lighting is really real with these people.. day and Democratic politicians are always projecting who and what they are on to people who are conservative moderate or just ordinary everyday Americans
      . My gosh Donald Trump is far from perfect and often times he can open his mouth and be his worst enemy but he always means well.. I don't know why he ran for president but I'm sure glad he did because he sure as he did not need to and he knows he didn't need to put it on his resume when he was 70 years old.. he used to be on the View all the time and they absolutely loved him. It's so bad over in Great Britain that they've had immigration going on since 2008 or 2010 and 75% of the jobs are more have gone to immigrants and not any of the British people and now they've been treated like second-class citizens in their own country.. it was not so bad until they elected somebody from the labour party because the Tories/conservatives were too much like George Bush mitt Romney etcetera etcetera well they elected a labour party and they're not labour party but they are COMMUNIST!! THERE WERE 12 LITTLE GIRLS AND TWO DANCE INSTRUCTORS THAT GOT STABBED IN ENGLAND. Three little girls died and that's when the people in Great Britain absolutely had it. There have been stabbings and stuff going on from the radical Muslim population (not all but the ones with the mass migration) & and they were doing all kinds of studies here and there but this was the worst because it affected little children and and most numerous.
      they took out to the streets to protest and all they were doing was cursing and yelling and the government would not do anything hardly do these people and they pamper immigrants and of course the British citizens pay their welfare just like we pay the welfare for all the 30 or 40 million immigrants we have here.. granted probably 15 or 20 maybe come into the United States and work and the majority of them do not and they know they can come here and get a free ride but they could not until 1996 or 1997 and then they started allowing migrants to have welfare and SSI.

I have seen cities that were thriving become ghost towns. Some call them deplorables. Our country is divided into the haves and have nots. For some the economy is not bad, for others it is terrible.

Your real purchasing power has likely improved - real economic growth in the US has been better than in the majory of developed countries. US real GDP per capita grew 15 faster in the US than in Canada in the last 3 years - mostly because of the incompetent Canadian govt, but also thanks to competent economic politics of Biden/Harris administration.

      It's not that simple. What you express is an attempt at egalitarianism. Instead, would it not be better for the working class to also have a path to financial independence for their hard work and talents, to include becoming a millionaire or even a billionaire? Oprah Winfrey, for example, has provided significant value and inspiration to her many viewers and has likewise poured millions back into the economy. One might consider her part of the monied elite. Should she be beat back down into the working class? Instead of the approach you recommend, I would recommend focusing on policies which ensure the opportunity for everyone to become wealthy based on their merit (hard work and/or talent) rather than attempting to push those who rise to the top back down (meritocracy vs. egalitarianism). And if you really want to get into economic theory, the truly devious way the rich keep getting richer while the poor keep getting poorer is that our current debt-based economic system rewards the rich who borrow money to buy assets (which are virtually guaranteed to rise in value with inflation) more than those who must save money to buy assets (and often get priced out before they are able to do so, as we saw for the past several years). What exactly does standing up to global business elites even mean? It would be far more effective to reestablish an economic system based on a stable currency backed by something like gold, for example, like we had before Nixon took us off the gold standard.

      @@bigverybadtomno, that is the literal definition of inflation, its the rate of devaluation of your currency, and thus an increase of prices. Its measured year by year. There is no benchmark for the dollar. It is down from 10%. If you want your pay to adjust for new dollar value you fight for better wages. If you want better wages faster, you back a party that hasn’t historically hugged anti-union values and whined and opposed raising minimum wage and start calling people lazy. What pisses me off is minimum wage was never set to increase at an amount equal to inflation year by year.

      There is a recent interview of Rahul Gandhi in Georgetown University where he analyses issues of income, job and price, manufacturing, sustaining democracy and defending democratic institutions which are being undermined in India. China is also discussed. He said that China has built a manufacturing economy with an authoritarian state, whereas democratic India, US and Europe have become service economies managing consumption. And as the economies of the latter stagnate, democracy is attacked by Modi in India, AfD in Germany, Meloni in Italy, Wilders in NL, Trump in the US.
      That Modi character's following is not based on income, job and price, it is based on Hindu chauvinism against minorities. Likewise, Trump's following is based on white chauvinism and anger.

    I am neither Dem nor Rep.
    But the economy is not strong.
    - Inflation boomed because of massive government/Fed spending during Covid. The government still is running ridiculous deficits and the Fed balance sheet is over 7 trillion.
    - The GDP growth rate is still barely adequate at 3.1% (it averaged well over 4% during Clinton's term for example and he/Congress semi-balanced the budgets).
    - The stock and real estate markets are still being powered by cheap money. The latter making home ownership difficult for the middle class and rents difficult for the middle/lower classes.
    - Forget the U-3 (unemployment rate). It is a joke. If only one American had a job and every other American did not, wanted one but had given up looking? The official U-3 rate would be 0.0%. Look at the employment:population ratio. It is much more accurate (though not perfect). And it has never recovered to it's pre-Great Recession rate.
    The rich are getting richer, the poor are growing in numbers and the middle class are drowning in debt. Not to mention the national deficit skyrocketing.
    America's (and much of the world's) economy is a mess. Trading cheap money for fake prosperity.
    And both parties are to blame.
    Yes, immigration is part of the problem.
    But the main problem is the government/central banks 'printing' huge amounts of money, bankrolling the wealthy and doing nothing for the rest but offering relatively cheap credit and more handouts that do little but put a bandage on the problem.
    The government must lower it's out-of-control spending.
    And - more importantly - the Fed's 'full employment mandate' musts be repealed so they cannot create trillions of dollars to prop up their wealthy buddies.

The pricey, consumerist lifestyle flouted by the haves remains out of reach of the have-nots. Not everyone can be a Wall Street lawyer, venture capitalist, chief neurosurgeon, or IT whiz kid. Normal jobs too often don't pay enough for folks to make ends meet.

People are tired of Trump and his incoherent rants. He will go down hard and we will be rid of him once and for all. I base my prediction on Harris’ quick rise in the polls.

    Yeah, I do not agree that failure to deal with immigration is the common denominator in the rise of fascism.
    The 1930's rise in fascism was preceded by crippling debt imposed by the winners of WWI. There was runaway inflation in the midst of a global depression. The economic conditions were absolutely terrible.
    The genius of the Marshall Plan was to undo this understandable but ultimately harmful economics of punishment and vengeance, and actually support strong economic development in Germany and Japan in particular. But this fascist vote takes place in formerly East Germany which was freed from the Soviet Union in 1989. What was the dominant economic model in 1989? Neoliberal "Free Market" economics. Keep wages low and allow the elite to get all the benefits. There is still a marked difference between East and West Germany as far as I understand.
    Correct me if I am wrong and enlightened German leadership poured money into East Germany to make sure the citizens would get high wages and low interest loans for decent, affordable housing.
    It's not as bad as the 1930's today, but we are at the tail end of 60 years of neoliberal economics across the globe. That's the common denominator.
    The winners in the game of economics take 99% of the prizes, while the average citizen is told to fight over the scraps. We are told how great the economy is, but for example, in the US, wages are stagnant, education means loans that amount to indentured servitude, and homes are unaffordable while corporations and foreign capitalist billionaires are allowed to vacuum up real estate for endless rental income. And then we are told immigrants are the problem to hide the reality that the wealthy are getting all the rewards of the astounding boom in economic productivity.
    To say that it is actually immigration is ultimately right wing, neoliberal economics ideology that should be considered thoroughly debunked as of 2007.
    I guess Fareed Zakaria has a job on TV because this is the way he actually thinks. He has faithfully absorbed the neoliberal mindset as if it is reality.
    In some ways, these guys are worse than Fox News, because they are intelligent and well meaning while essentially leading us all on the same path to fascism. Like a pack of Neville Chamberlains.

    You know, I can accept the fact that there are right-wing populists in our population. This is America, and EVERY American citizen has a right to make themselves heard and to know that their voice is at least heard and considered. That's the BEDROCK of our nation, and one of the biggest problems I've had with the left in years past has been their tendency to try to "shame into silence" large segments of their opposition.
    What I cannot abide, though, is disregard for our political process and the recent tendency there has been to try to "win at any cost." That's not how America is supposed to work. We have elections. We vote. And then we ABIDE BY THE RESULTS. Anyone - ANYONE who opposes that simple formula is my enemy. My nation and its cultural customs and processes - those things matter to me more than any particular policy issue. I never thought I'd see the day when I had to VOTE based on that criterion, because I thought it would always be the case that both parties embraced those ideals. But recent times have given me strong cause for concern, and that is what will determine my vote.

      When any faction thinks it can take your civil liberties away from you because they think they know better, want to force you behave in a certain way, or just out of sheer greed - then we are in trouble, and it is every citizen's duty to speak up. And the most effective way to do this at present is to vote blue across the ballot, even if you don't like everything that candidate is for. We may not be able to stop them from trying to gerrymander in every state, nor may we have an easy time of cleaning up the supreme court, or reviving laws and regulations that are necessary, but we must protect our country, our Constitution and the liberties of all Americans, not just the ones they deem special. And who knows when or if the republicans in congress will ever return to some level of sanity and stop kissing Trump's ass, but we have to stay on our toes and hold every single one of these treasonous, horrible people accountable every single day. Vote 💙💙if you love your liberties.
