no I think it's really of the utmost importance to talk about these Americans that are living to paycheck to paycheck I know how stressful that can be and there's 23% of Americans you're saying that are living that right now do you think either candidate is doing a good job or a job at all of addressing their economic concerns Trump did it for four years and doesn't get credit for it because he insists on on daring off to some sort of personal attack Harris the argument goes we don't know what she did do because she hasn't really told us we don't know where she stands on B's Economic Policy because she hasn't told us so this is an example of where the rubber meets the road both of these candidates have the ability to speak to those voters explicitly and the candidate that does so in that first presidential debate when they're side by side you have Trump with his Bluster but his record of that the public thinks is okay and Biden with his respect but a record that public think is suspect in the end Harris has to say where she stands and she has to give us a solution to these and frankly in terms of public opinion I don't believe that wage and price controls I don't believe that telling companies that they are by law required to self for less I'm going to focus specifically on food everybody wants the workers in grocery stores to be paid more what does that mean you take it out of profits everybody wants food to Cost Less what does that mean you take it out of profits every Everybody Wants these stores to serve people and underserved communities the least profitable stores do all three of them you'll have stores closing it'll change closing you'll have stores going out of business so mam vice president which is a higher priority to you serving the underserved ensuring that workers get paid what they deserve or ensuring that food prices are now affordable in this economy we can't do all three which one you want to to give up and the problem is no one's willing to answer that question neither Trump nor Harris is willing to but that is legitimately the question the answer will get you killed but Americans deserve to know what your priorities are how important then is that presidential debate between her and Trump and her economic question there because we all remember the June 27th debate changed the course of history so what are you looking out for when it comes to the economic questions on September 10th who's asking the rhetorical questions to what I'm going to look for first are you better off today and will you be better off four years from now most important the second is how do we get there doesn't require you to dot the eyes and cross the teeth but it does require you to talk about making tough choices nobody wants to do that everybody wants to communicate that it's really easy the other side got us into this mess that we're in and they're going to make it worse what are you going to do what policies are going to create sacrifice for Rich voters tell us the darn truth and I believe that that candidate will be rewarded but I don't think either candidate will do so and the truth is Republicans want the Democrat to sacrifice the Democrats want the Republican sacrifice Independence want both sides to sacrifice and no one trusts each other and that's the fundamental problem I believe that this debate will be marked by criticisms and attacks and I'm waiting to see somebody Rise From the Ashes Like a Phoenix and say we deserve better than this and then actually make it better
