Conservatives Should Vote for Kamala Harris
(OpEd) Neal Urwitz | The National Interest
Vice President Kamala Harris might not seem like a choice GOP voters should consider over Donald Trump. Nonetheless, the facts and history speak for themselves.
Trump’s Tariffs Are a Terrible Idea
(OpEd) Ambassador Miriam Sapiro (Fmr) | U.S. News and World Report
Harris’ policies promise to strengthen the middle class and build partnerships with allies to address economic threats, including China’s anti-competitive practices. As president, Harris would lead an economy that helps everyone, not just those at the very top.
Trump ‘policies’ explained, finally
(Interview) Major General William Enyart | Labor Tribune
"I don't like Trump, but I like his policies."
Once again, I heard that this week from a guy I like and respect as an attorney. He's what I call a reasonable Republican. I didn't have time to ask him which policies those are, so I'm posing that question now to all you friends and acquaintances who've made that statement.
The impact of Trump tariffs on Arizona
(OpEd) Minister Counselor James Carouso | Arizona Daily Star
The end result of the Trump economic plan would see Americans facing increased inflation, reduced employment, and an uncertain global economy for which the U.S. is blamed. If your main concern when voting is taxes and economic stewardship, think which candidate would actually leave more money in your pocket and a more certain economic environment.
Donald Trump’s Tariffs Would Be a Disaster for America
(OpEd) William K. Krist | The National Interest
Voting for Trump in the upcoming election means endorsing a trade policy that could significantly raise the cost of living, jeopardize American jobs, and strain international relations. A targeted and strategic approach to dealing with China’s unfair trade practices, as seen under the Biden-Harris Administration, provides a more balanced and effective solution.
Why Former U.S. Military Leaders Endorsed Kamala Harris
(OpEd) Major General Randy Manner | U.S. News and World Report
On Election Day, we face a choice between ensuring that America remains a beacon of hope and opportunity for the world or allowing fear and division to tear us apart. Elections are about protecting what makes our nation strong and securing the future for our children. We must choose unity, decency and progress – for ourselves and for generations to come.
Trump will make inflation far worse
(OpEd) Stephen Craven | The Tribune-Democrat
He didn’t mean to, but Donald Trump has made clear he is delighted for you to pay higher prices. That and he doesn’t understand how tariffs work.
That’s the only conclusion you can draw from his many threats to raise tariffs. The self-proclaimed “tariff man” has threatened and used tariffs to “punish” countries he doesn’t like. He is expanding his threats without thinking about their impact on Americans.
Trump will make North Carolinians' lives more expensive
(OpEd) Stephen Craven | Morganton The Paper
To The Editor: When I was born in Morganton in 1948, North Carolina was a deeply different place than it is today. We've gone from tobacco and textiles to tech and tourism. When I was born, we were legally segregated (I'm proud that my dad, a North Carolina judge named Brack Craven, helped put an end to that). Today we're a strongly diverse state. Yet what we value is consistent. We value our families, the outdoors, college basketball, and whether we can afford the essentials. We'd rather refrain from talking politics at the dinner table.
But that's only if we can afford to put food on that dinner table.
Trump will jack up your food bill
(OpEd) Stephen Craven | CNN
If Trump is telling the truth about his policies, his claim that he will tame inflation is simply wrong. He will do exactly the opposite.
Trump’s tariff plan would hurt America’s taxpayers and national security
(OpEd) Colonel Gene Abel | The Morning Call
Trump’s proposal would increase prices for every segment of the American economy. In effect, this would be a tax increase on every American without lowering the deficit. As the center-right American Action Forum found, such a tariff would “distort global trade, discourage economic activity, and have broad negative consequences for the U.S. economy.”
Donald Trump Can't Save Social Security
(OpEd) Tom Davis | The National Interest
Conservatives have a point: it needs a tweak. It does not take an economics professor to tell you that a program that dispenses more than it takes in is unsustainable as it currently exists. But Donald Trump will not fix it.
