[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harris is sane, has a few specific proposals, but spends most time on selling her personality and upbringing, and attacking Trump for being Trumpy, not her performance or plans.

She's trying to play it safe, and let Trump lose. But she's not giving much to the people who know Trump is a moron but are voting for party/cabinet not the person. I think that's why she's not winning. [/quote]
She put out 82 pages of specific economic proposals. It’s not as long a Project 2025 but there’s a lot there, check it out.[/quote]

I don't care about hopes, dreams and aspirations. I care about the mechanics of HOW it works.

[b]What do you damage to give someone else something for free?  These are equations.  There are two sides to the ledger.[/b][/quote]

Yes. You are correct. But should the freebies always go to corporate interests? Big ag? Fossil fuel subsidies? Minuscule tax rates?

Maybe we could reduce some of those subsidies and redirect them to American citizens who are actual breathing people. [/quote]

What subsidies are you talking about?  You provide a whole litany of industries and say nothing about the actual subsidies.

How about we cut out ALL subsidies altogether and let the economy float on what it is worth? Clear out the deadwood.

The tax code today looks like spaghetti and it's not good.

And every time a democrat wants to promise more free stuff for votes, you pull out[b] mythical subsidies with no specifics.[/b]

I'm tired of income being transferred from one group to another through these idiotic proposals.

No, vote as you may, but we aren't giving you free money to burn. You want something....WORK FOR IT.[/quote]

There are literally hundreds of subsidies and loopholes.
