If you think it's obvious that the majority of people who you'd think to consult on their opinion as to who has been the worst president have considered that to be Trump, then you'll get a lot of agreement.
Can you show me where Harris says that, "taking away tax cuts from one group will provide all the money that's needed for another group to be happy"? I seem to have missed that.
I don't know why some people think that there are no positive reasons to vote for her (and thus only negative reasons to vote against Trump). These are both solid reasons to do so and there are others. Even if you disagree with these particular reasons it should not be hard to imagine that others find them compelling positive reasons.Harris recently proposed a policy to give families help to care for older family members at home--and she had a way to pay for it.
Recently she and President Biden reduced prices on ten well-used drugs for Medicare patients, such as insulin. They achieved this by beginning to use Medicare's huge market share advantage to bargain for lower drug prices. The money the government saves can be used to help families care for older members at home.
We all know that the benefit we could provide with those savings would be small, but it would be a start.
We can learn how other countries manage elder care--and cull the best ideas.
Models for Long-Term Care Policy: What the U.S. Can Learn from Other Countries
The need to provide Long-Term Care (LTC) for growing elderly populations is a public policy issue in all industrialized countries. Unlike other OECD countries, the U.S. lacks a foundation for universal LTC benefits. Much can be learned by examining other industrialized countries. LTC systems. In...www.nursingpracticejournal.com
In 2020, the federal government spent $200 billion on long term care for adults through Medicaid. Helping families care for elderly relatives at home could drastically lower those costs, and the money spent on family assistance would be much less expensive.
One idea would be adult day care availability, especially good for patients who need memory care services. This would help working caregivers, and give retired caregivers some respite time, allowing them to focus on their loved one's needs in evenings and night time.
But the referenced article even talks about how technology helps. My friend who lives alone and had a stroke now wears a device that will call 911 if she has a fall. Fortunately, she has been able to resume driving, enjoying an active social life, etc., but the device reassures her that she will be helped in an emergency.
Blood sugar monitor readings can be shared with family members who can get their senior back on track if his sugar is too high or low.
There are assistive devices that can help seniors dress themselves, get out of bed safely.
Services like meals on wheels make sure they get one good meal a day--and if a senior has a working 'care partner,' that daily check in from the meals on wheels volunteer is a help.
Door-to-door senior bus services can help patients who can no longer drive get to medical appointments.
Harris' plan to make it easier for seniors to stay in the family home could easily be financed by nursing home Medicaid savings--and seniors would have a better quality of life.

It is an accurate description.
Sure, after all we caused everyone elsea.problems because we are a horrible, horrible country. The worst ever even.
Calling it dehumanizing is excusing the behavior of the illegals who decided to come into this country illegally, and do know-knows-what-else after they escaped immigration process.
Then the "middle class" she claims to speak for while partying with the rich black celebrities won't be happy no matter how much those who keep the economy going pay.
Even Harris can't think of much to say positive about herself when asked by friendly reporters as to why we should vote for her. She only has anti-Trump rhetoric to spew out, and her followers do the same as a result.
Does it equally bother you when a person in jail or prison is referred to as an inmate? Or when a person convicted of a felony is referred to as a felon? Or how about when Donald Trump is referred to as a criminal, felon, or any other number of derogatory terms?
At least the legals had the right to be in the country in the first place. The illegals don't have an excuse for being here, let alone raping and murdering those who do.
LOL! How hard did you look?
Here's the deal. If you want to decribe a group of people by what illegal things they have done then we need some eqivalence. We'll expect you to now refer to your preferred candidate as 'the convicted felon Trump'.
There were and still are Republicans who don't like Trump. Establishment types are typically the ones and these historians are certainly of that type. Trump is a wild card, and academics and many politicians don't like that.
I think you left out murderer and child molester. I also think you forgot to mention that Trump wants to bring back slavery and throw gays off of the Trump Tower. I think need is also planning on invading Canada.
