On Tuesday, Sept. 10 the major political event to happen was the Kamala Harris and Donald Trump presidential debate. This was the first time Harris and Trump met, and it is predicted this will be the first and only debate between the two presidential candidates.
Throughout Tuesday’s debate, Harris was both well-mannered and well-spoken.
She highlighted her campaign, which focuses on uplifting middle-class families by expanding the child-tax credit to $6,000, growing small businesses by increasing tax credits from $5,000 to $50,000, overturning the recent Roe v Wade ruling and making home ownership more affordable by giving first time homebuyers up to $25,000. This aligns with the Democratic Party’s goals: allowing homeownership to be within reach for middle class families, investing in small-businesses and increasing access to abortion.
While Harris’s policies sound promising, I am concerned about the economic impacts that may follow.
During the Biden-Harris administration, inflation peaked at 9.1% in June 2022 and is currently 3%. This is higher than when Trump was in office. Since Aug. 2022, groceries have increased by 13.5%. With the extra money in the already bad economy that Harris is promising, inflation will continue to rise and could have detrimental impacts on the low and working class of America.
