Ep. 34 - The Economy: Moving Forward or State of Debacle

Are the president’s policies really helping Americans? In this episode, I analyze the economic issues discussed in the State of the Union address. Find out why Americans are not truly moving forward and why we should challenge the president’s claims of creating jobs in manufacturing. Let’s dive deep into the impact of unemployment and inflation, the proposed Inflation Reduction Act, and the idea of requiring companies to buy American products. I also examine Biden's proposal to prevent junk fees from businesses and debate its necessity.

Quotes:

"The president of the United States never builds the economy. It's capitalism, it's investment, it's the creation of jobs, it's the creation of products, and it's the enjoyment of those products and the growth of the economy that actually gets us out of that." - Quinton Harris

"The backbone of that Inflation Reduction Act is actually on the middle class. Because what's going to happen is the taxes that are going to be passed down are going to be passed down to the middle class to pay for that inflation reduction act." - Quinton Harris
