A recent blog post by Robert Reich has the title “Should Harris give more details about what she’ll do as President?” Yeah, right. Now that Donald Trump has renounced “Project 2025,” he has provided us with a large number of specifics about what he actually plans to do instead, like, uh, like. . . .
Providing specifics is like throwing red meat at Trump supporters, they will tear into any such and distort them and create a whole new set of lies. For example Harris indicated that unsupportable price hikes on groceries and other staples would have to be addressed, maybe through an excess profits tax as has been done before. Trump supporters immediately morphed this into “Price controls, she wants price controls!”
I think the wise thing to do is match Trump specific for specific, which means one as of now. So far, Trump has promised rich people another round of tax cuts for them and Harris has promised to “tax the rich more.” That’s it, I think.
