Apparently there's an issue with not enough black men who are automatically going to vote for the Harris/Walz ticket. Heresies and blasphemies! Obama has admonished them and now Kamala Harris has promised $20K in forgivable government loans for 1 million minorities to start businesses. Harris also wants to legalize pot not an uncommon position but is also looking at it from a business potential angle. I recently took out two loans through my union but nothing in the fine print about not having to pay them back. On the pot front my neighbors are big potheads. I'll be enjoying my fine Navy Flake MacBaren's pipe tobacco on my front porch and the smell of pot is always wafting over from the porch next door. Modern-day Americana. Norman Rockwell with a modern flair.
So too many black folk have a nostalgia for the Trump first-term pre-pandemic economy. Even the Trump loathing media admits the price of groceries was lower back then. Black voters thinking out of the box. A problem for the Dems.
The black male vote is interesting, given that Trump lowered their
ReplyDeleteunemployment rate from 21.7% to 19.6%. Then Biden lowered it from 19.6% to 17.1%. IMO, that is a talking head POV and I may be wrong, but think that a black woman in power may be a factor for them as well. There are several other reasons that voters have as well, so we will have to see. Now, regarding the neighbor pot heads,
where is the famed Yonkers Pot Control Team? They all get transferred to side walk inspection?
Ever get one of those aw shucks you can't pay back your loan we're OK with that kind of loan?
ReplyDeleteNever. On the other hand I haven't taken out a loan in the last 25 years.
ReplyDeleteNo home improvement loans? Nothing?
ReplyDeleteThe Kamala Proposal. Offering forgivable government loans to minorities but not to the many poor whites who may want to start their own business. Would seem unconstitutional on its face.
ReplyDeleteA 'forgivable' loan sounds more like a plain giveaway to me. Probably won't fly.
ReplyDeleteBetter known as a grant.
ReplyDeleteI used to pay 9% interest on house loans. Now people just complain.
