Kamala Economy vs Trump Economy - Well Defined By Rachel Maddow

I've noticed this latest version of Trump will destroy the economy!!! rhetoric accelerating in the final days of the election.
Didn't we go through this same kind of nonsense eight years ago?
I honestly don't know what to think about either candidate's economic platform. Both platforms are loaded with pandering giveaways. Many won't pass Congress and some are likely unconstitutional.

Do you think 100 or 200% tariffs will be good for the economy?
How about his recent declarations that he'll tax the middle class and give breaks for the rich?
Thank you for proving my point about people not having the capacity to think critically. Well done.So believing the Bullshit that is Kamala Harris is critical thinking?
Do you really think there are five million Trudeau supporters? There are people who support the Liberal party, just not him as leader...
Also, no, not all 75 million are in the cult. There are many who are just ignorant enough to believe all the crap Trump says, or believe he will do things to help them. And, maybe in some cases he will. There are obviously many business owners who are hearing him talk about ending overtime pay requirements, and their ears perked up....
That's unfortunately democratic politics. It's not just a Republican or even American phenomenon.
What do you call people who believe the democrats that Biden is in good shape...and now Kamala as the pantsuit messiah?
He didn't fail to deliver on many of his promises. In his first term before the plandemic hit in March 2020 the economy was humming because he got rid of bullshit over regulation. Real lower middle class incomes rose markedly for the first time in decades. They were on track to a peaceful solution in the Middle East. Iran was held in check as was Russia. No pipeline for them. And he stood up to China's unfair trade practices and intellectual property theft. All without fighting a war. He renegotiated free trade agreements in North America and the Trans Pacific that looked out for the US interests as well. And he devised a policy that finally secured the border which Biden/Harris completely undid the 1st day of office. Let the flood begin. You think you had a problem with undocumented immigrants then try adding another 10-15 million to that total. Fucking morons!
Yes Trump lies (more exaggeration actually) and for me the biggest one was saying that the U.S. became energy independent on his watch. They were on the way to becoming energy independent with the help of major trade partners Canada and Mexico but they weren't close to being there. They still imported oil from Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia, Nigeria to satiate domestic demand.
I look at it this way. Trump gets in for another 4 years there is no way he can come close to doing the damage that Biden/Harris have done for almost 4 years. Its a disgrace.
LOL. Sure. He inherited Obama's economy and rode that...until his inaction led to the largest job loss in US history since the Great Depression. Then you have to realize that his much vaunted tax cuts did nearly nothing for the lower and middle class (with the average of maybe $75/a year in savings, if that). And that also ballooned the budget deficit (which I thought the GOP was against).
He did bugger all with infrastructure or reforming the Affordable Cares Act (which he has "concepts of a plan" four years after he was booted from power). As for the border, he forced his cronies in the Senate and House to vote down a border bill that basically gave them everything they wanted.
Now, his current economic policy would put tariffs on nearly everything that is imported into the US. Who is that going to hurt? The average American. The US tried this back in 1930....and it basically led to the Great Depression. Because when you place tariffs on stuff, other countries tend to match them in retaliation. The consumer does not win....And, economists say it will cost the US economy trillions! And it wouldn't fix his budget problems....
And I'm not even going to touch his rhetoric about going after internal enemies or being a dictator for "one day." The man is inept, unstable and demented. After January 6, he should never be allowed to hold office. And there is a very real chance that he will be in a custodial facility as of December....
Did I offend your Cult Leader........Of course when You are suffering from the Trumptard Devotee Syndrome!!Your TDS is breaking out...take your meds...
Most of us cut the cable a long time ago.......... You still paying for it?? Wake up!!
Well the Trump Cult Followers watched him lying, then coming up with some blatantly false allegations for example that it was all over the news with regards to the Haitians eating dog, cats and "other things'. Of course we all know that the sources were not any real news outlets but more like Mitchell's online gospel truth sources.
Rachel Maddow on the other hand got the real facts correct about the economy etc based on the reliable sources that did the proper research. Now she even uncovered the breaking news that Trump's lawyers have tried to keep Stormy Daniels hush hush once again during these elections. Stormy just turned down the offer from his lawyers..........Good For Her!!
Madcow is not someone any sentient human being should listen to.
I think that the righties are confusing Maddow with Hannity's constant profanities and zero facts!!
Also watch the video and Trumpty Dumbty's response:

Trump now claims he's not responsible for peddling lies about Springfield, Ohio, because he saw some stuff online. He's made eerily similar comments before.
Private jet business catering to the needs of wealthy folks who cry climate change
while finding flying with common folks beneath them would flourish in Kamala's economy. I bet flying private jets will become more popular with Harris as the
nation's climate leader.

The fret over tariffs in the U.S. is so overdone. If you look at economic history the U.S. was the world's big exporter by far, of course tariffs in that period hurt the U.S. The U.S. is now the biggest importer by far and it's causing dangerous economic imbalances. Giving our leaders flexibility to negotiate with trade partners like Germany, South Korea, China and others is not a bad thing. It's merely matching mercantilism with mercantilist countries.
I'm sorry but I think you need to read more on the Great Depression particularly the Fed's monetary policy during the crisis. Economics today don't believe that tariffs led to the Great Depression.
Per the National Bureau of Economic Research: By almost any measure, the monetary policy of 1930-33 was a disaster: the money supply and price level both fell by one-third, ex post real interest rates rose well into double digits, and banks failed by the thousands. How could the Fed have let this happen?
I think you are cherry picking political talking points that you like. I'm not at all convinced you care much about tariffs beyond the election. Perhaps as they pertain to Canada, but Canada is covered under the USMCA trade agreement. By the way, for several years some economists and observers have advocated strengthening regional trade pacts as opposed to expanded global trade.
You're right, most economists do not think it led to the Great Depression. It just made it significantly worse.

What Is the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act? History, Effect and Reaction
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act raised U.S. import taxes to protect American businesses from foreign competition. Global trade plummeted as a result.
And the reality is that it will increase the cost of virtually all goods in the US....a new national sales tax that will be passed on to the consumer. If you thought COVID inflation was bad....just wait for this. But the thing that is interesting is that Trump says he would put tariffs on stuff coming from Mexico...which (checks notes) is part of the USMCA trade agreement....So, is he lying? And if he's not, is he just confused? Remember, he said basically tariffs across the board. How is that going to help the lower and middle class?
