Kamalas economic cost of living plan

[Tommy Tainant]

There will obviously be more to come but it isnt a bad start.

• Combating “price gouging” on groceries and food by authorizing the Federal Trade Commission to impose large fines on grocery stores that impose “excessive” price hikes on customers.
• 
  
• Eliminating medical debt for millions of Americans, possibly by using federal funds to buy and forgive outstanding debt from health providers.
• Capping the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35 per month for all Americans.
• Limiting Americans’ annual out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs to $2,000.
• Providing up to $25,000 in down payment support for more than 1 million first-time home buyers.
• Calling for the construction of 3 million new housing units over the next four years.
• Expanding an existing tax incentive for developers who build affordable rental housing.
• Removing tax benefits for Wall Street investors who bulk buy single-family rental homes.
• Preventing corporate landlords from using algorithmic price-setting tools to increase rents by large margins.
• Passing a child tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life.
• Expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit for lower-wage workers by up to $1,500.

Its a bit timid but its a good start. Just as important its a powerful list of measures to beat trumps "campaign".
Kamala aint black butters no parsnips.
I gott big attendences doesnt pay the rent.

Measures to stop profiteering and boost the housing market. These are things for the people. What is trump promising outside Project 2025 and banning books and not teaching history and banning all abortions and banning IVF ?.

Do the GOPreally want to battle on policy ?

Kamala Harris just unveiled her economic plan to 'lower the cost of living.' Would it work — and how does it compare to Trump's?

Friday's populist speech marked the first time Harris has delved into any significant detail about her governing vision — and clearly tried to differentiate herself on policy from President Biden.

It was a catastrophic start, but you already knew that. You can pretend like these are good ideas, but they are clearly awful ideas, which is why Kamala is being crushed by the media for them. Democrats cant win an election if they actually tell people their ideas. Kamala should have continued hiding her bad policies from the voters, but she is going to lose the election now because she merely spoke about them. You NEVER speak about democrat policies to the public, if you actually want to win an election.

An ordinary voter would welcome an investigation into prices. Our Monopolies Comission has been doing it for decades.

Young adults would welcome help in getting on the housing ladder. So would their parents.

Capping drufs prices will not be unpopular. I literally cant imagine paying for insulin. Its wrong.

Whats not to like ? All trump has to offer is tax cuts for billionaires.

Well that goes for both parties. Build less bombs.

LOL!!!

Actually, the GOP prior to W and Faux News was for less spending. Newt actually cut spending. Then came Faux, the SUBs, Zionist Fascism and W, and since then the GOP has not cut spending once...


Debt when W took office = under $6 trillion, with almost no inflation at all

Since Faux, Zionist Fascism, and IQ<5 Pro Israel SUB voters took over = over $35 trillion and no concern from Faux, SUBS, and Zionist Fascists

So how did trump cut spending ?

Actually Trump came AFTER W, not before...


Trump tried to get PRO ISRAEL RINO and Hillary supporter Paul Ryan to fund the border and cut spending, but Ryan did not see any benefit for Israel by doing so, so Ryan refused.

Ryan now sits on the Faux "News" Board of Directors, a great example of Faux being totally anti conservative, anti American, and completely Zionist Fascist.

Why? If you dont like one persons price, go find a different seller. THAT by the way is the fundamental principle of capitalism. Its how you end up with competition so steep that grocers only have a 1-2% profit margin. We have a million different sellers of groceries and we also have no shortage of food in the US, so anyone who tries to inflate their prices will instantly go bankrupt because they cant compete with everyone elses ultra low prices.

There is no such thing as "price gouging" on a national level. Its simply impossible. Democrats REALLY need to study Milton Friedman.

What I wonder is where the money will come to pay for all these new giveaways? Print more money and devalue the dollar further, thus driving inflation?

What a plan!

The Trump plan.............



Donald Trump had a specific response Wednesday morning, when a supporter asked him what he would do to bring down rent prices to help his children: “Drill, baby, drill.”

“We gotta get the energy prices down and everything else is gonna be tumbling down with it, the prices,” Trump said to the supporter in South Dakota during an interview on “Fox & Friends.”

The voter, who Trump spoke to during his interview when he called into Fox News, described his kids’ plight to afford a home.

“Out of eight children that I'm a father and a stepfather to, five of them are struggling, and I'm giving them part of my income on a regular basis,” the voter said. “How are you going to make the economy — not just the food and electricity — but bring down the rent prices, the housing prices, so that these kids can survive without their parents’ help?”

“We're going to bring down the cost of energy,” Trump said. “Energy is what caused the worst inflation, I think, in the history of our country.”

The Republican presidential nominee then lamented about the rise in costs during Joe Biden’s presidency — “Bacon is quadrupled. You can't order bacon” — and compared it to lower costs when he was in office.

“Four years ago, I could ask you. You were in great shape. You had low energy costs. You had low food costs. Everything was good. You could buy a house. You had low interest rates, 2% interest rates. You had gasoline at $1.87. Now it's $5,” Trump said. “And, by the way, going up, and going up very substantially.”

WTF?

Absolutely. The market sets the price.

We take into account the underlying COGS, and then add a reasonable profit. If we are greedy, then competitors win our business and we go bankrupt. Too little profit, and we have no margin to make adjustments as needed - hire a more experienced person, add in an extra marketing campaign to capitalize on charging circumstances, absorb price increases in utilities, rent, insurance, etc. - and we go bankrupt as well.

That is why prices all tend to fall in around the same amount, for similar quality.

The ones with the line through them are just bad ideas all around and mostly outside of the power of the Fed Govt.

I do not like using the tax code for social engineering, but it is what we do in this country so at least those seem worthwhile

Not sure which Americans she is talking about as far as limiting out of pocket for medicine, I am assuming only those on Medicare

Smashing the cartels will pay for itself. She is also cutting corporate benefits. Taking from billionaires to help families.
