$100k is peanuts, you are right on this. But $100k is more than these jobs are worth. They are also one of the few jobs in the US where they get paid past their death at their salary to their beneficiary depending on state. So it can be amortized indefinatley, which is a burden on tax payers.
Honestly I don’t know how food prices would have behaved under Trump. It was a given that inflation would increase due to money influx from the govt during Covid. Im not bringing up food prices because of that. I’m mentioning food prices just to give you a comparison that at least immigrants can show tangible benefits. I just don’t agree on how many immigrants were allowed to come through in the Biden administration.
Regarding Trump vs Kamala, you can’t say who’s smarter unless you know them personally. Kamala struggles at freeballing speeches and in interviews. Trump is not articulate. Trump went to Wharton and became very successful. Kamala didn’t go to great academic institutions but has an impressive resume. Only people who have no biases and work with them can truly know. I honestly think both have average intelligence but also have high EQ.
Which jobs exactly are you referring to that folks keep getting paid after death?? I am not asking as a gotcha but out of curiosity because I've never heard of such jobs but then again I don't live in the US.
Money spent during COVID here and in the US certainly didn't make anyone rich! A couple of thousand a month to pay for bills and food by unemployed folks didn't make anyone rich. Should the government that ordered lockdowns which I agreed with and still do be responsible for helping and keeping families from starving??
Again, considering the US was coming out of a pandemic, Joe and Kamala did a fantastic job and the stats bear that out. A Trump administration would have completely ruined the economy had he won a second term.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see Kamala is much more intelligent with a higher IQ than let's inject folks with bleach guy, or throw a nuke into a hurricane guy, or anonymously send in a cruise missile into Mexico to kill the cartel guy.
