hi y’all in BBQ-land,
I received an email from Bre Maxwell, Rural Coalitions Director, DNC, with commentary and links to an interview with VP Kamala Harris on The View.
I have never watched The View because I don’t watch mainstream TV. I googled information and learned that it is “a venue for lively, informed debates on current events, especially politics.” Originated by Barbara Walters and currently led by longtime host, Whoopi Goldberg, five women with very different outlooks on politics, Hollywood and its stars, and current events discuss these and other divisive topics of the day.
In addition, The View also conducts interviews with prominent figures, such as celebrities and politicians. Thus, the interview with VP Kamala Harris.
I also learned that it’s viewed by more than 2,000,000 viewers. Wowza! That’s a lot of folks watching The View.
I have copied and pasted below an excerpt from that commentary sent to me.
This is part of the reason why I am voting for Kamala Harris to be the next President of the United States.
Respectfully submitted,
Om peace namaste

• The Vice President’s plans to lower care costs for millions of Americans stand in stark contrast to Trump and his Project 2025 agenda.
o As president, Trump tried to cut Medicare and Medicaid in every single one of his budgets, has called for raising the retirement age to 70, and said privatizing Medicare would create a “stronger system.”
o He denied millions of families the full child tax credit and tried to cut federal child care funding by nearly $100 million.
o His Project 2025 agenda will actually raise costs on families by $4,000 a year.
Unfortunately, the chart in the message i received won’t post on BBQ. You know, it’s the “wrong format.” Aargh! Technology!
So I have copied the two sides of the chart in the narrative below.
“Kamala Harris wants to expand Medicare to cover home care for seniors for the first time ever.
Donald Trump wants to make devastating cuts to Medicare.
Kamala Harris wants to cut average child care costs in half.
Donald Trump, when he was President, tried to cut funding for federal child care and youth services by nearly $100 million.
Kamala Harris wants to expand access to good child care options.
Donald Trump will raise costs on hardworking families by nearly $4,000 a year.”
Having read this, are you surprised that I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for President and Vice President of our country?
