On the difference between Democrat and Republican Thinking

I didn't read the thing, but I looked at Kamala's 82-page PDF "A New Way Forward for the Middle Class: A Plan to Lower Costs and Create an Opportunity Economy".  Note that her plan, first thing, is "to lower costs". This was without doubt a response to the widespread, often repeated conservative focus (and the near-universal media attack) on "the Biden inflation".

I'm not saying it is wrong to want to lower costs. I'm not saying the Biden inflation was good for anyone other than Donald Trump. But the post-pandemic inflation was the biggest economic problem we have faced in decades. And what did Kamala say? She said she wanted to lower costs. That was not a strong argument. It was more like an apology for what her boss did, as if Kamala herself blamed Biden for the inflation. No wonder she lost the election.

MSNBC's favorite word for Donald Trump is "chaos". But the Republican plan is far from chaos. Their plan is to cut federal spending. Everything Republicans do is part of the plan to cut federal spending. Seen in this light, the Republicans are far from chaotic. The opposition to vaccines and vaccinations, for example, will increase the death rate of elderly Americans, reduce the number of people receiving Social Security, and reduce federal spending on Social Security.

As a bonus, the spread of highly communicable, sometimes deadly diseases like COVID-19 and the flu will be far more rapid without vaccines -- particularly in areas of high population density such as cities. And cities are home to many more Democrats than Republicans. But ending vaccinations will help solve that problem for Republicans. 

And health care is just one aspect of their plan. Happy New Year.
