First, we know little of what Vice-President Harris and Governor Walz bring forward as their policy because they are avoiding meaningful interviews or questions on their policies.  We do have a history for both and policies that they have supported in the past.  If they won’t conduct a proper interview and let people know what they stand for then it falls on others to investigate and let you know what they plan when they are in power.

So far, what we know for certain is that Harris/Walz are proposing the largest tax increase in the history of the world that would translate to 5 trillion dollars of new revenue.  At the same time, they do not talk about reducing spending.  So, it is a tax and spend scheme of historic proportions.  If we find dogs and cats living together, we are surly in trouble.

The Harris Administration has not been vocal about eliminating your private health care insurance but comments and votes from the past confirm that is her intention.  Harris co-sponsored the Berine Sanders 32 trillion-dollar socialist healthcare takeover bill.  With our national debt now at 35 trillion, this wrongheaded plan could almost double our national debt in short order.

As the border czar, Harris oversaw the illegal immigration and drug problems on our border and in our country.  Harris believes that illegal aliens should receive taxpayer funded social security and Medicare.  In addition, she proposes no plan to protect Social Security and Medicare benefits for legal residents.
Finally, the Harris Administration is promoting and making it a central promise to her campaign of price controls.  This dangerous idea is a page out of the communist playbook and history is rife with the wreckage of controlled prices.  What happens is very suddenly we have a black market of goods and services and very few of those goods and services are available legally.  Most recently Venezuela implemented wide-sweeping price controls from food to fuel and all that happened was the goods and services disappeared.

As for the Trump campaign, it is much the same as in 2016 and 2020.  Many of the same policies are being brought out.  One difference is that Robert F Kennedy Jr. has suspended his campaign in 10 battle ground states and endorsed Trump.  He had made the statement that if he became a spoiler, he would withdraw from the campaign trail.

In his speech where he endorsed the former president, he explained his reasoning for backing Trump over Harris.  First, he said the Democrat party, today, is unrecognizable.  “It has rejected everything that made America great in this world”.  He further stated that “While (the Democrat Party) decries racism, sexism, homophobia, Islamophobia, and other great evils, the Democrat Party has a pattern of using members of identity groups to help advance its own goals even though those goals are often against the best interests of the American People.”

Kennedy said, “what alarms me the most is the Party’s resort to censorship, media control, and weaponization of federal agencies.  When a U.S. President colludes with, or outright coerces, media companies to censor political speech, it’s an attack on our most sacred right of free expression.”  He expressed his concern on how the left was willing to give freedoms and trust in a vaccine that hadn’t been tested or vetted to make his point on this.

Kennedy went on to say that the Democrats have a plan to destroy the U.S. Supreme Court’s autonomy by stacking the courts with liberal justices expected to render decisions that have been long sought by the liberal side of things.  He suggested that Democrats would love to turn this country into a socialist nation.
Finally, during Kennedy’s endorsement speech he stated that the Democrats have been taken over by the military complex and have participated in the never-ending wars and support of those wars across the world.

When we look at the Presidential Candidates we find stark differences.  We have one who hasn’t done an interview in almost 6 weeks.  Today, August 29thwill be her first one.  Maybe she will explain her policies or maybe she will avoid it.  It seems she is trying her best to make it seem that she is a moderate, but a five trillion-dollar tax increase is not moderate.  Harris is seemingly running, not as the incumbent in this administration but rather as the challenger.  She claims she will tackle the immigration problem, inflation, and others but what has she been doing for 4 years?

I for one will be voting for the candidate who best fits my thought process and that is Donald J. Trump.
