Inflation and immigration remain the voters’ top concerns heading into the contest between President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris this November, and the policy platform put out by the Democratic National Convention would only make both problems much worse.

On inflation, Harris has embraced all of the huge spending that President Joe Biden couldn’t fit into his original inflation-causing $1.9 trillion spending plan. Remember all that free preschool, free paid leave, free child care, and free day care Biden had in his original Build Back Better plan? You know, all the stuff that centrist Democrats flinched at including in what they already knew was a bill with too much deficit spending? Well, Harris wants to spend all that money now.
