Housing Costs
What to know: In Tuesday night’s debate, Vice President Kamala Harris again said housing costs are too high, and spoke of a plan to address those costs.
The TPPF take: There’s a right way and a wrong way to lower housing costs.
“Instead of pressing for collective action, a better approach is to remove federal, state, and local governments from the equation to the greatest possible extent and let market forces determine the quantity of housing supply needed, the price point and incentives required, and everything else,” says TPPF’s James Quintero.

Spend It Fast!
What to know: The Biden-Harris administration is racing against the clock to spend billions of federal dollars on pet climate projects, before a new administration comes in.
The TPPF take: Federal spending is already disrupting our economy, while bad policies are disrupting our energy sector.
“Americans are working hard as they struggle to pay their bills, including expensive gasoline caused by the Biden-Harris anti-energy policies,” says TPPF’s Robert Henneke. “The fact of the matter is that inflation is caused by the big spending policies of the Biden-Harris Administration – too much money chasing too few goods. And the amount of federal spending the Biden-Harris administration injected into the U.S. economy in the ironically named Inflation Reduction Act was massive.”

Coalition Media
What to know: The media has gathered around Vice President Kamala Harris protectively, claiming (against all evidence) that Harris was never named the border czar, or given responsibility for the southern U.S. border.
The TPPF take: Our broken border shows that Harris has failed families ravaged by fentanyl and communities beset by crime.
“By any metric, the Biden-Harris border record, with Harris at the helm, has been the worst in American history. The numbers speak for themselves,” says TPPF’s Greg Sindelar. “There have been 8,114,601 encounters at the southwest border under the Biden-Harris administration, excluding known and unknown ‘got-aways.’”
