Harris will be bad for the country
To the Editor:
This is in response to Cory Vaillancourt’s two articles in The Smoky Mountain News’ August 21 edition.
Mr. Vaillancourt stated that Trump is struggling to communicate effectively against Harris. Millions of voters, Republicans, independents, and yes, even Democrats, would beg to differ.
The only messaging problem is countering Harris's policies because none exist. She refuses to have press conferences, unlike Trump repeatedly does, to subject herself to answering hard policy questions from the press.
This is probably because she has no actual policies to share. It also seems like a Democrat Party strategy to keep her from speaking without teleprompters because she struggles to articulate her thoughts.
I misspoke. During a recent speaking engagement, Kamala spoke about her economic plans and policies. She stated she would create a price-gouging review/oversight agency to ensure businesses price their products appropriately. This is nothing more than Marxist government price controls on services and products sold.

Under her economic policies, the federal government fixes prices based on what it feels the cost of any item should be, not on market supply and demand. Any amount over their baseline is considered gouging.
Whether one chooses to call her the border czar or not, her open-border mindset is overwhelming our health care, education, welfare, housing and law enforcement systems, costing taxpayers over $12 billion a month nationally.
She stated that her policies would focus on ensuring equitable wealth distribution, regardless of status. She also said she would build upon the Affordable Care Act to provide government-controlled cheap health care. However, she did not limit this care to citizens-only in her statement.
She stated that she would make free education available to everyone, including a college education. Again, she expanded this to something other than citizens-only.
In other words, she intends to transform our constitutional republic into a Marxist-Socialist nation, completing Barak Obama's promise to transform America fundamentally.
The few policies she has put forward are plain and straightforward: Marxist Socialism.
Her few stated policies would fuel inflation, diminish family financial stability and destroy our Republic.
