For some reason, I've turned myself inside out and all my guts have spilled onto my blog. Truth and vulnerability or the currency of content. NM in chess.

I'm hesitant to post this because I don't really like any aspect of the political system. But here is what I heard last night at the Must/Trump conversation and I'm curious what part of this people disagree with:

A) do more vetting at the border (as in legal immigration) to prevent criminals coming in.

B) Have an energy policy that doesn't depend on our enemies for fossil fuels while we continue to explore and innovate on solar/nuclear

C) The biggest threat to not only America but the world is nuclear weapons in the hands of bad nations.

D) Cut Dept of Education because US is consistently getting lower on education vs the world and yet spending more per student.

E) Have a more efficient government in terms of spending. Everyone says this but nobody does anything about it. Is there a way to do something about it?

F) Inflation is the result of an increased money supply due to higher government (and inefficient govt spending). If money supply increases faster than our goods and services than inflation results.

G) A "strong" president deters bad foreign actors. Examples can be seen (this is my own comments on this) JFK (Bay of Pigs / Cuban Missile Crisis), Carter (Iran hostages), Bush (9/11, etc), and Trump implies Biden (Ukraine, Iran).

So: Am I missing something? And what part of this doesn't seem like common sense? And the important question: who is better at dealing with these issues (if they are issues): Trump or Harris. Why does Harris not have policies on her website?

I ask these questions in all sincerity, seeking answers, and without bias. I really want to know. People say this was a "rambling" interview but it seems like this is what I heard. Did I hear incorrectly?
