  • The effect of numbers on media/candidate competition

COUNCIL PROPOSALS

HIGH STANDARDS

  • Harris’ proposal for a reduction in prices
  • Trump’s proposal – Costs
  • Are these promises of fame? Likely to be used?

  • Vice President Harris: restore the Child Tax Credit, a new $6,000 credit for families with a newborn; tax cuts for low-income earners; increase the corporate tax rate. Who are the winners/losers?
