COMMENTARY

By Scott Walker - Thursday, September 12, 2024

OPINION:


For Donald Trump to win in November, he needs to remind voters that their lives were better when he was president and that they will be better again if he is reelected. He cannot take the bait. He must be disciplined to stay on message every day to win. Thankfully, the facts are on his side.

Americans are not better off today than they were when Mr. Trump was in office. “ABC Nightly News” anchor David Muir began the debate this week with a lengthy statement for Vice President Kamala Harris that ended with the question, “When it comes to the economy, do you believe Americans are better off than they were four years ago?”

She ignored the question and responded with the glib answer, “So, I was raised as a middle-class kid.” That’s because she has no real answer.

Four years of the Biden-Harris economy have been rough on most Americans, particularly the middle class. Prices have increased about 20%, while housing costs in my home state alone have increased nearly 30%. Filling the gas tank of my Chevrolet Traverse at the Kwik Trip in Delafield, Wisconsin, costs about $1.25 more per gallon than four years ago.

Ms. Harris proposes cost controls by the federal government. Anyone who prefers that approach must also select the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service over United Parcel Service or FedEx. Most of us know that the federal government is more likely to screw things up than solve our problems.

Actions taken in the past 3½ years to drive up federal spending, increase government red tape and hinder American energy production are the driving factors behind high inflation that leads to soaring prices. The Biden-Harris administration is behind these problems and should bear much of the responsibility for high prices in the United States. Giving the federal government more authority over the economy is dangerous.

History has shown governments that were given major power over their economies have seen major shortages in the availability of products such as food, fuel and housing. The former Soviet Union, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea are examples of the problems that come with too much government control over the market.
