Tune in here to this Wednesday edition of the Brett Winterble Show!  

.Brett kicks off the program by examining Vice President Kamala Harris’s elusive public strategy. Despite her active campaigning, Harris remains tightly scripted and rarely deviates from prepared statements. She has distanced herself from her past positions and current agenda, with changes communicated through anonymous aides and unsourced statements. What’s behind her deliberate opacity, and what risks does it pose?

Brett also covers the latest figures on federal borrowing. In FY 2024, the government borrowed $5 billion a day. The Congressional Budget Office reports a $1.5 trillion deficit for the first 10 months of the fiscal year—$103 billion less than the same period last year. Meanwhile, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation tracks the national debt at $35.08 trillion, or $104,193 per American. What do these numbers mean for the economy and everyday citizens? 

Vice President Kamala Harris, aiming to distance herself from President Biden's struggles with economic issues, is shifting her focus to address middle-class concerns. She plans to unveil new initiatives aimed at reducing the costs of healthcare, housing, and food for middle-class families. Additionally, Harris will outline her strategy to tackle corporate price-gouging and provide relief to consumers.
