Deficit spending causes inflation, and Kamala Harris spent $891 billion dollars under the guise of "reducing inflation." So she HAS contributed
to the problem, although she is not the root cause.

Again, with the "Harris did this"? You still don't understand a single shit about the US political system. You parrot the latest memes from MAGA HQ. Do you know what the Soviets used to call people like that? "Useful Idiots" because they had many of those in the US during the Cold War.

As for the spending, you seemingly missed maths class at school, if you even got that far, where they explained the difference between investments and expenditure.

Every impressive (by international standard) law that the B-H administration managed to pass during the first two years, when they still were able to overcome the MAGA resistance, was a pure investment. Well, there was, of course, the mandatory DoD waste, but other than that.

Then came the now infamous two-year 118th Congress, where the MAGA freeloaders in the House spent all their time, on the taxpayers' dime, trying to find any dirt on their president. Isn't that borderline treason even in the US?

This compared to the Stable Genius, who managed to raise the national debt by a record-breaking almost 50% on pure expenditure, not a dime on investments.

And y'all try to tell the world that everything terrible is Kamala's fault, and everything was beautiful and pleasant during the infamous Con Man's years? Holy Smoke! I just say: COVID-19.

It's a fact. It was Harris' administration (Biden) who ratified the bill and it was their treasurer who cut the check.

As for the spending, you seemingly missed maths class at school, if
you even got that far, where they explained the difference between investments and expenditure.

There's no return! How can you call it an "investment" when there's no return? If it was supposed to return anything, it didn't return it, and unless such a return shows up within the next couple months, the voters who have any clue whatsoever are going to "Say no to the ho!" on Election Day!

Then came the now infamous two-year 118th Congress, where the MAGA freeloaders in the House spent all their time, on the taxpayers' dime, trying to find any dirt on their president. Isn't that borderline

I don't know. Was it treason when Congress did that to Trump for 4 years?

This compared to the Stable Genius, who managed to raise the
national debt by a record-breaking almost 50% on pure expenditure, not a dime on investments.

Any way you look at it, Trump kept the government running without breaking any records for deficit spending (which you refer to as "investments with no return.")

Yup, you missed that class, that's for sure. But, generous as I am, here's another piece of education that you missed all your life.

An investment does not give an instant return. It's like investing in something and the next day asking your broker, "Where is my return?"

A good investment is a long-term project that slowly but steadily gives a return.

Some that call themselves investors (like the filthy parasites on Wall Street) but expect instant return, are not investing, they are speculating.

They don't contribute shit to the society, they only suck its blood. Those are the guys to focus on if you want to blame anyone other than yourself for your misfortune, not Kamala Harris.

I get what you're saying. A return on an investment can take time, but unfortunately for Harris/Biden, it's taking too much time. If we won't see it until after the Harris/Biden term is over, then they are out of luck because there's 161 million voters who will vote based on what they see and not on what's to come later.

They don't contribute shit to the society, they only suck its blood. Those are the guys to focus on if you want to blame anyone other than yourself for your misfortune, not Kamala Harris.

Inflation Reduction Act aside, they've ripped us off on other record-breaking cash-grabs too like Build Back Better. They promised to replace all the lead water pipes in America, and they are already patting themselves on the back even though we're still drinking lead in most of the small cities. It never got done, and they can't expect us to believe that it's still on some contractor's to-do list.

Why "aside"? You seem to understand now how it actually has been beneficial to everyone.

What you obviously don't know is that the IRA was only one part of the BBB act. If the BBB in its original form had passed, all the other great B-H acts would have started the incredible restoration of the ruins, that Your Lord left behind, years earlier.

As for wasting *YOUR* money, if you really are a taxpayer, maybe you should know that Your Lord's $1.9T tax cut cost every single one of the 85M (yearly average) US taxpayers (calculator mode... 1900/85...) a whopping $22,353. How's that for stealing taxpayers' money?

No, I'm just taking your word for it that "it's an investment and the return may take a long time, but it will come."

the BBB act. If the BBB in its original form had passed, all the other great B-H acts would have started the incredible restoration of the

I'm not concerned about the IRA loophole, I'm concerned about where is all the infrastructure that was promised? That stuff is taking too long. We can't wait for a return that takes longer than 4 years to materialize because our country is suffering >right now.<

As for wasting *YOUR* money, if you really are a taxpayer, maybe you should know that Your Lord's $1.9T tax cut cost every single one of the 85M (yearly average) US taxpayers (calculator mode... 1900/85...) a whopping $22,353. How's that for stealing taxpayers' money?

It takes money to make money. Without our corporations, we'd be a third world country. Our corporations are leaving in droves. And that's something that hits home immediately; it doesn't take beyond 4 years to feel it. Tax cuts for corporations keep jobs in America, which boosts our economy and in some cases boosts GDP.
