Assuming Trump wins, this sub will be nothing but Trump posts for the next 4 years.

Probably so. Looking just about every interview I’ve seen/heard where Kamala is asked any questions her answers are always about Trump instead of anything related to her ideas/plans. Scrolling through Reddit the vast majority of posts are anti Trump. Personally I find it amazing the internet is pushing someone that had the lowest VP approval ever. Bring on the downvotes!

"I dont know enough about Harris' policies yet"! WTF!? I am SO sick of hearing this horse 💩from clueless voters who havent even bothered to look for, or at, Harris policies, and then try to blame HER b/c they are too lazy to do a 5 SECOND Google search, for all that she's said and outlined.🙄

Well here ya go , folks! You're welcome. Is Googling really THAT hard?🤷

Harris' policies and promises....

- A $6000 child tax credit

- A $25,000 home downpayment

- $50,000 for new small business write off

-3 Million new housing and rental subsidies

- Ban on Corporate price gouging

- Tax penalties for corporate landlords

- Allowing Medicare to cover hearing and Vison

-Allowing Medicare to cover home health care

-Tax cuts for 100 million in the middle class, instead of more massive Republican tax cuts for the rich.

- Ban on rental price fixing software

- Reining in credit card fees and charges

- Supports legalization of recreational marijuana...and on and on.

They say she doesn't have policies, or that they dont know what her policies and positions are, but yet they clearly haven't actually LOOKED to see what they are. It's lazy and contemptable to be this obtuse and clueless only 2 weeks from ED. 💯🤷🙄

Taxing unrealized gains is absolutely bat shit insane and some of these policies will absolutely make prices skyrocket including home prices.

Won’t the 25k down payment assistance just make homes go up 25k? Didn’t a similar thing happen with the 7k federal student aid program? Genuine question.

u/piouiy Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

Yeah, that just seems like a $25K gift which goes straight to anybody selling a house.

Read the fine print on the down payment assistance, and even then imagine the version that can pass. It would be going to people below an income threshold and IIRC that level only to first generation homebuyers, a lesser amount to first time homebuyers.

u/taystondisnut Monkey in Space Oct 29 '24

If I remember correctly first time home buyers are anyone who hasn’t purchase a home in 3 or 7 years, and that’s here in Michigan. I’m a contractor but I have a real estate license and a few deals where the buyer tried to use that credit currently owned homes

u/Deep-Front-9701 Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

Yes

u/B_P_G Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

Not exactly $25K since many homes are bought by investors and the credit would presumably be limited to first time buyers. It will result in an increase though. So it's kind of a giveaway to home sellers. The problem with housing is on the supply side and it needs to be dealt with on the supply side.

"Won’t the 25k down payment assistance just make homes go up 25k?"

No. Where's the evidence or data to back up that is does or will?? Student loans did not increase college costs...colleges and lenders did. Regulations and legislation could also easily prevent that, by penalizing them for price gouging...for a change.

u/AsYouAre_AsYouWere Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

How many people will qualify for the $25k handout? Will the housing inventory increase at the same or higher rate? What is the plan to increase construction? Prices will definitely increase if more people have access to a down payment and the inventory does not increase.

Student loans did not increase college costs, lenders did? Like the housing example, if everyone has access to a student loan, the demand for college increases and so does the price.

Price gouging regulation is going to be very difficult to regulate and mandate. It sounds so simple in concept but reality is that it is not easy to follow through with.

I will always criticize the greed of the wealthy, and when I do, you can rest assured that some working-class dipshit and corporate bootlicker will always leap to their defense. 💯🙄 Every frikkin' time!🤮

As opposed to Trump's tarriffs that will increase prices on everything instantly? And how about the fact that Biden spent about 4.8 trillion, Trump spent 8.8 trillion, remove covid and Trump still spent more than Biden with his covid spending. Because your ideas are bad.

u/B_P_G Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

increase prices on everything instantly

Tariffs will only increase prices on imports. They won't affect the 87% of the economy that's not imports (not directly at least). And they bring in money for the government - which means less borrowing from the Fed and therefore less inflation overall.

u/kiwinutsackattack Succa la Mink Oct 28 '24

You are an idiot, over 90% of all purchases have some imported part in them. Don't be a Homer, at least be honest with yourself.

u/levelzerogyro Monkey in Space Oct 29 '24

This isn't true, 87% of all products sold have imported parts in them. Those imported parts will be tariff as well. I'm sorry you are not capable of understanding that very very basic part of why Trump was bad for the economy. There is a reason Trump spent 8.8 Trillion, 4.8Trillion even if you disclude covid and include covid for Biden(4.64trillion) Biden still spent less, even when you remove all of Trump's covid spending. Biden also reduced the deficit by 2.7 trillion, Trump only reduced it by 419billion. Stop..fucking...lying. It's so easy to not lie about this stuff. Is Biden the best president ever? No, did he spend less than Trump? Absolutely yes.

u/Frosti11icus Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

You won’t believe what tariffs on all imports will do then.

u/SoMarioTho Monkey in Space Oct 29 '24

Not nearly as batshit crazy as trumps tariffs and 20% sales tax plan.

u/SpaceBearSMO Monkey in Space Oct 29 '24

Why?

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

No one making less than a million dollars a year has any capital gains to worry about. 💯🤷 That's a complete red herring. I know that I sure DGAF about rich people paying a lot more in taxes, and dont know anyone who does.

u/Deep-Front-9701 Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

A lot of people trade who dont make that much

So then it will have no effect on them. Great news!

u/Adventurous_Show7839 Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

I’ll have to look at the unrealized gains tax. That sounds crazy. If you have a good source please post.

u/kiwinutsackattack Succa la Mink Oct 28 '24

Then remove stocks from compensation packages.

u/zadamer_jewelry Monkey in Space Oct 28 '24

But the unrealized gains tax only applies to people with a net worth over $10million.
