Do results matter more than intentions?
For the last two years, poll after poll, the top two issues of concern for the 2024 U.S. presidential election are:
- The Economy
- Illegal Immigration
While we all know the issues and failings of Kamala Harris and the Biden administration regarding border security are well-documented, even after the media has recently attempted to whitewash the situation. However, Vice President Harris's record may be even worse on the inflation front.
The Vice President in 2021 cast the tie-breaking vote on the American Rescue Plan. This $1.9 trillion COVID relief plan came after the pandemic was already over and was the catalyst for skyrocketing inflation.
VP Harris, in 2022, was also the tie-breaking vote on the Inflation Reduction Act. Another trillion dollar bill that, despite the name, was mainly a giveaway to the climate change industry and most likely made inflation worse.
Now, my detractors hate it when I write about national politics. They tell me I should focus on Maryland, so let me bring this back to how it impacts my constituents.
I recently was emailed a report on inflation and want to share it with you.
The Joint Economic Committee in Congress released a report, and the amount of money Marylanders are losing through inflation is staggering. The average Maryland family now spends $1,193 more monthly on the same goods and services as in 2021. This reality hits home for anyone who shops at a grocery store in Maryland.
"The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency." ~ Ernest Hemingway
In conclusion, the economy and immigration are still at the forefront of concerns for the upcoming 2024 U.S. presidential election. While there may be differing opinions on addressing these issues, one thing remains certain—results matter more than intentions.
From Vice President Kamala Harris's record on inflation and border security to its impact on Americans like those in Maryland, tangible actions and outcomes genuinely make a difference.
As we approach the election, let's not forget our responsibility to hold our elected leaders accountable for the results of their policies. It's not just about their intentions, no matter how noble they may seem. It's about the tangible impact on our lives and the future of our nation.
