\nThis election is about as clear as any presidential election in our lifetime. Both candidates have been a key part of a presidential administration, Trump as president and Harris as Vice President.\u00a0 Harris has made her alignment with the policies of the Biden-Harris Administration clear. Furthermore, because of Biden\u2019s weak cognitive state, it is more than likely that Harris was leading more than Biden.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\nFor these reasons, there is no excuse to not know the affect of our vote. We need only compare the policies of the Trump years to that of the Biden-Harris years.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\nBelow are comparisons between Trump and Harris on five major policy areas.\u00a0 They unequivocally show that who is president of the United States makes a massive difference to millions, perhaps even billions, of people.\u00a0 Indeed a vote for Trump is not nearly as much about Trump as it is about loving our neighbors, from next door, to across our nation, to around the world.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\nIf you are inclined to not vote, please consider the outcome for millions of Jews in Germany because the people in the German churches decided to stay out of politics. Staying on the sidelines, when the differences have real consequences is putting comfort above the well-being of your neighbor.<\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The chart below shows a stark contrast in regular gasoline prices under the policies of Trump vs. the policies of Biden-Harris. Once Biden-Harris policies drove the price of gasoline above Trump\u2019s highest level, the price of gasoline never dropped down to even the highest cost under Trump.<\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This is not simply about gasoline prices. Almost everything we buy \u2013 groceries, clothes, home products, building supplies, cars, tools, toys, etc. \u2013 is tied to the cost of petroleum. The Biden-Harris high inflation is directly related to their dangerous opposition to oil being readily available at a low cost. The impact of that mindset on the third world is devastating, even deadly. (For more information on the good vs. bad debate over fossil fuels, consider reading Fossil Future, by Alex Epstein.) Small businesses, especially minority businesses, which had thrived under Trump, were hit especially hard under Biden.<\/span><\/h6>\n\n
It is dishonest for Harris to promote a livable wage when the policies she helps advance produce unlivable inflation. Policies are enacted intentionally to achieve goals. High inflation works as well as low wages to create a discontented working class that can be easily exploited to gain power.<\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Even without being able to finish the wall, Trump border policies created far more orderly immigration processes and a more secure border. When given the reigns of government, one of the first thing Biden-Harris did was overturn policies of Trump that were working, including ending work on the border wall.<\/span><\/h6>\n\n
Trump border policies helped inhibited drug and child trafficking across the boarder. Under Harris, empowered as the Border Czar, annual\noverdose deaths in America were over 100,000<\/a> in both 2022 and 2023 impacting millions who lost their loved ones. There is likely not a person in America who does not know someone who lost a friend or family member to Fentanyl. We need a serious president.<\/span><\/h6>\n\n
We must be cautious that we don\u2019t embrace ideas that do not accomplish what proponents claim they will accomplish, or even worse be counter-productive. Here is a simple gumball model on world poverty<\/a> that helps bring clarity to our current immigration policy.<\/span><\/h6>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Under Trump no new large-scale wars started, instead unimaginable moves toward peace and better relations took place.\n<\/span><\/h6>\n
