Really broke . Record stock market , record employment number, Better GDP than Trump, better everything than Trump, envy of the rest of the world economies.
I have said in the past that the US should protect industries that are vital to our national security.
So the CARES act signed by Trump providing over 2 trillion of fiscal stimulus was not inflationary?
Real wages are a problem as ya boi drove the cost of everything through the roof. Welcome to reality!
Probably was, but he had to do something as he let the left's hero Dr Faucci talk him into all sorts of dumb things such as closing a major portion of the US economy.
Marxism predicts that capitalism is doomed and will be replaced by socialism. Socialism is defined as a political democracy where the people own the means of production and determine how it should be employed. Socialism does not state that all people should be paid the same but should be paid based on the value of their output. Marx did not use the terms socialism and communism consistently do there is a justifiable confusion between the terms. By the way, a true socialist country as defined by Marx has never existed. In addition, the predictions of Marxism have never been realized so it is a failed economic philosophy and system. Marxism really falls apart in the manufacturing of goods with a small labor component.
Kamala is talking about programs to help first time homeowners, first time business owners etc. I perfectly understand that it sounds like gibberish but it is not even close to Marxism as Kamala is working within the structure of capitalism. I don't recall Kamala espousing the nationalization of all industry in the country.
It would really help if people knew what Marxism is before making statements about it on X. Just dumb.

No actually it was your boy Trump that fricked up Covid pandemic, remember. Quarantines, plants closed unable to import or transport. Once Covid was defeated during Biden and things came back to normal production, retail, and transport wise things returned to normal. Inflation coming down. Wages increased beyond inflation.
Kamala is talking about equal outcomes. You have to go through a bunch of mental gyrations as you have been for weeks defending your new girl. She was further to the left of Bernie Sanders in 2019. Her dad is a Marxist. She isn’t talking specific programs. “Equity” the crap on the back of every college athlete’s warmups/practice tops for several years is equal outcomes. Communism and equal outcomes are discussed in Acts chapter 5 and the story of Ananias and Sapphira. Greed always ruins utopia. It’s human nature.
You know you have nothing in argument when you get “I wish people wouldn’t get there information from X”. You were clueless thinking Biden would be a moderate and you are a clueless, if you think Harris’ language and intent isn’t Marxist.
It's not about picking winners and losers. For example, the US needs to develop its own rare material elements industry. It needs to encourage companies to extract and process these materials for the benefit of the US. Despite the name, these materials are fairly common. It is the extraction and processing of these materials thar are complex. Currently, China produces about 90% of these materials. Should not the government encourage the development of this industry or should we be at the mercy of China?
Marxism does not talk about equal outcomes. You continue to ignore that fact. It talks about common ownership and recognizes that people should be compensated according to their production capabilities. If one worker can assemble product as at a faster rate than another worker, the better worker should receive more.
I see the clip was from 2020 so I was wrong that it was about her current proposals.
