In the wake of VP Kamala Harris's recent 1 st big speech on July 25th to teachers in Houston, TX, it becomes imperative to critically analyze and explain the last four years of policies that have left the working class and blue collar folks demoralized and devastated with economic injuries.
Urgent: Democrats Targeting The American Dream, Financial Collapse Imminent... Read More Here
Harris's address provided a big reminder of the mosaic of hideous problems which were caused by failed leaders in the last 4 years. Her speech bragged about the economy, debt, crime and other key issues which exposed the DC speech writers as living in a fantasy world.
1. Democrats Doubled the Cost of Food in Many Cases
Eggs cost 100% more today than 2020, Butter up over 70%, Heating oil cost 67% more money. [i] Many can’t afford healthy food. One in 8 households (12.8 percent) experienced food insecurity, or lack of access to an affordable, nutritious diet. An estimated 44.2 million Americans don’t have affordable food anymore. [ii] Cattle Beef was up over 100% during Biden and Harris. [iii]
2. Child Care for Teachers Costs 76% More [iv] in Just 3 Years.
In 3 short years, the burden on parents and grandparents for child care has gone through the roof and many can’t afford to have children cared for anymore. [v]
3. Student Debt Burden 100% Worse during Harris and Biden in 3 years.
One of the most glaring failures is the doubling of the student debt burden by $200-400 billion within just three years. Interest rates on the poor who hold student debt were raised 100% by Harris and Biden Administration which is a 20,000 dollar tax on many families over the last 3 years. [vi] This surge has shackled a generation of young Americans, making higher education more of a financial trap than a ladder to success. The promise of education leading to prosperity has been undermined by this escalating debt crisis.
4. Worst Energy Costs which Burden Teachers and the Poor
Utilities, gas, fuel, heating oil, and diesel costs for the poor have doubled, further widening the economic disparity. This policy failure has pushed many middle-income families into deeper financial distress, making the American Dream increasingly unattainable. [vii]
5. Most Hideous Crime Wave in 40-50 Years [viii]
Crime, poverty reach horrifying levels in US in the last 4 years. Further, about 1 million have lost a child to the Opioids Genocide since 2009 which was facilitated by weak border Czars. [ix] The author was the first to warn America of “Obama’s Genocide” in 2018. [x]
6. Democrats Put Hidden Tax Hikes on Union Workers & Teachers
The administration’s decision to increase taxes on union workers has eroded the financial stability of many middle-class families. This move contradicts the very principles of supporting the working class and has been a blow to those who rely on union representation for fair wages and benefits. Higher taxes on rent, food, medicine, cell phones, car notes, student loans and more [xi] When inflation goes up, costs are up, and your taxes go up when you pay more.
Urgent: Outside Forces Secret Attack On American... Who's Really Behind It?
7. Democrats New Attacks on US Capitol with Political Violence
The recent attack on the Capitol on July 24th, 2024, by leftist extremists, and the other plots to assassinate President Trump and national leaders such as leader Steve Scalise, marks a disturbing trend in left-wing extremist political violence. These events highlights the administration’s failure to address rising extremism and protect the nation's republican-democratic institutions. [xii]
Like the terrorist attacks on police in Dallas, Baton Rouge, New York and at the Trump Rally, the left-wing extremist fundamentalists are still at large engaged in terrorist acts. [xiii] While the J6 was a huge protest of 4-5 states being flipped after election day was over, no police died according to NPR, but sadly, another uniformed officer was murdered at the Trump rally this July 13 th. Moreover, a few unarmed women who supported Trump died at the Capitol that day in 2021 during police interactions. [xiv] [xv] [xvi]
8. Four Years of Rising Rents and Housing Costs Hit Teachers and Minorities
In the last 4 years, rising rents, mortgage interest, home insurance and city and stte taxes have made housing unaffordable. Real estate taxes on teachers up 100% in some cases. [xvii]
9. Democrats Reduced Teacher Pension Values over 4 Years
Bad policies have hurt the value of teacher pensions has devalued the profession that shapes the future of our children. These policies have not only strained household budgets but also undermined the financial security of educators. [xviii] Buying power of teacher pensions down in some cases as much as 30-40%. Approximately 92% of all Americans age 65 and older in the United States claim Social Security benefits which have been devalued for 4 years straight. [xix]
10. Failure of Democrat’s 'Trickle Around' Economics
The Democrat's "Trickle Around Economics" policies has proven ineffective. Rather than stimulating broad-based economic growth, these policies have failed to deliver on their promises, leaving many Americans struggling with inflation that outweighs the benefits. [xx]
11. Leftist Democrat Book Banning With Historical Parallels
The Democrat-led book banning over the past 50 years is eerily reminiscent of the National Socialist Nazi ideology where they burned books by Jews. Such censorship stifles intellectual freedom and undermines the foundational values of a democratic society. [xxi] There are new bans on Jewish Books in the USA today due to the new form of rabid anti-Semitism coming from people within the Democrat voter base. [xxii] SEE: The Gaza War has become a war on Jewish books and authors (nypost.com)
12. One Million Jews in America are Leaving the Democrats This Year
Jewish Americans are shifting some of their vote away from the Democrats. New figures show a slight decline from the 2020 election, where 77% of Jewish voters supported democrats, but now, the vote has come down 13% to about 64% support for democrats. With 7.5 million Jewish Americans in the United States who may feel unsafe, scared and upset, Trump stands to gain 13% or 1,050,000 new votes. [xxiii] [xxiv]
Keep in mind, Trump won election day by over 1 million votes in 2020, but 5 states were flipped after the election day was over where Trump only lost by a meager 44,000 votes because the late votes were counted. [xxv]
13. Bankrupting Medicaid and Medicare
Medicaid and Medicare, vital lifelines for millions, have been driven to the brink of bankruptcy. This jeopardizes the health and well-being of countless Americans, particularly the elderly and low-income families.

14. Democrats Too Late on Same-Sex Marriage
It is noteworthy that Donald Trump supported same-sex marriage before prominent Democrats like Obama, Biden, and Clinton. This historical fact challenges the narrative often presented by the current administration. [xxvi] [xxvii]
15. Doubling Wages and Benefits for Government Workers
The proposal to double wages and benefits for government workers, while seemingly benevolent, fails to address the broader economic implications and the strain on taxpayers. Such policies must be balanced against fiscal realities.
16. Democrats Give Tax Loopholes to the Wealthy With SALT Deductions
The Democrat administration's secretly lowering of taxes on billionaires and millionaires through secret SALT tax loopholes contradicts their rhetoric of economic equity. This favoritism towards the wealthy has widened the economic divide.
17. During Democrats – The COVID Death Count Tripled
Since Trump left office, the death count from COVID-19 has tripled. This staggering increase highlights the administration's failure to effectively manage the pandemic and protect public health.
18. Unaffordable Obamacare
The rising prices of Obamacare have rendered it unaffordable for many. This has left millions without access to necessary healthcare, exacerbating health disparities. [xxviii]
19. Democrat’s Costly Overseas Wars Could Have Fed the Poor
The expansion of wars offshore has cost the U.S. an additional $500 billion. This staggering expenditure could have been used to pay off the credit card debt of every American under 40, highlighting a gross misallocation of resources. [xxix]
20. Unregulated Immigration Hits Blacks and Women the Hardest
US government documents show that the influx of 10 million people into the USA without paying any fees or taxes has displaced millions of citizens, including Asians, Hispanics, and Blacks, from their well-paying jobs. [xxx]This unregulated immigration has strained public resources and exacerbated unemployment. [xxxi] [xxxii]
21. Kamala Harris’s Record as Prosecutor
Finally, Kamala Harris's record as a prosecutor is under scrutiny. Despite her claims, she has rarely prosecuted pedophiles, murderers, or rapists, nor has she consistently stood up for victims of crime. [xxxiii] This raises questions about her commitment to justice and public safety. Meanwhile, Harris is attacked for jailing thousands of Black and Hispanic men for mere possession of weed. [xxxiv] [xxxv]
22. Debt – Biden
Trump increased national wealth by 12-15 Trillion, but COVID cost the USA almost 4 Trillion. Since 2021, the Debt has gotten much worse as debt burden rates out of control by over 100% with hyperinflation. [xxxvi]
23. COVID Death Tripled Since Kamala Became VP
The COVID Death Toll Tripled in 3 years: In 2022, the death toll in the USA had grown to from 415,285 to over 880,000 thousand deaths in just 12 months. Now the death toll is over 1,200,000 deaths in just 3 years. Thus, Trump left when death was 415 thousand and COVID death tripled in 3 years of the Biden/Harris Administration. [xxxvii]
Conclusion
The last four years have been marked by policy failures that have deepened economic disparities, undermined public services, and eroded trust in government institutions. As we reflect on Kamala Harris's first policy speech, it is crucial to expose these shortcomings and advocate for policies that genuinely address the needs of all Americans.
In contrast, Conservatives, Populists and Republicans advocate for the unionization of all workers into a viable Coalition to secure better benefits from state, city, and local governments for all families who contribute to the nation’s productivity. This vision represents a proactive approach to ensuring fair treatment and economic security for all workers and families.

As Bill Murray once said, "It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person". If America remains blinded by big media as to the damages and injuries imposed upon citizens i
