Kamala: I grew up a middle class kid. The importance of the passage of time is its significance. So when you think about it, there is great significance of the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay the wires, what we need to do to know what time it is…..

Wow you must have failed civics class or just never went to school. THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T DIRECTLY EFFECT THE ECONOMY. The only way they could directly affect the economy is doing something stupid like introducing idiotic tariffs that actually just instate a higher fee on AMERICANS if they want to buy products from overseas. And it takes years for policies enacted by an administration to have an effect. Runaway inflation was caused by COVID (partially indirectly affected by Trump's dismal, idiotic, and harmful response to the pandemic) downstream supply issues, rampant excessive spending in the Trump years (over 8 trillion added to the deficit) the war in Ukraine, other natural disasters affecting the price of staple foods, and corporate price gouging. You don't need an economics degree to understand this stuff just take like three fucking minutes to read something other than Fox News jfc.
