� Kamala is famous for her word salads.

� ...And Trump isn't? See below for an example, from his talk with the
� Economic Club of New York last Thursday:
����������������������������������������������������������������������������
� President Trump, you - you talked about how the increase in the price of
� food, gas and rent is hurting families, but the real cost that's
� breaking families' backs and preventing women from participating in the
� workforce is child care. Child care is now more expensive than rent for
� working families and is costing the economy more than $122 billion a
� year, making it one of the most urgent economic issues that is facing
� our country. In fact, the cost of child care is outpacing the cost of
� inflation, with the majority of American families of young children
� spending more than 20% of their income on child care. One thing that
� Democrats and Republicans have in common is that both parties talk a lot
� about what they're going to do to address the child care crisis, but
� neither party has delivered meaningful change. If you win in November,
� can you commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care
� affordable? And if so, what specific piece of legislation will you
� advance?

� Well, I would do that. And we're sitting down - you know, I was
� somebody - we had - Sen. Marco Rubio and my daughter Ivanka were so
� impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue. But I think when
� you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about, that -
� because, look, child care is child care. It's - couldn't - you know,
� it's something - you have to have it. In this country, you have to
� have it. But when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of
� numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels
� that they're not used to, but they'll get used to it very quickly -
� and it's not going to stop them from doing business with us but
� they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our
� country. Those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're
� talking about, including child care. That - it's going to take care -
� we're going to have - I - I look forward to having no deficits within
� a fairly short period of time, coupled with the reductions that I told
� you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are
� going on in our country. Because I have to say with child care - I
� want to stay with child care - but those numbers are small relative
� to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about, including
� growth, but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just -
� that I just told you about. We're going to be taking in trillions of
� dollars. And as much as child care is talked about as being
� expensive, it's, relatively speaking, not very expensive compared to
� the kind of numbers we'll be taking in. We're going to make this into
� an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people, and
� then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other
� people, but we're going to take care of our country first. This is
� about America first, it's about Make America Great Again. We have to
� do it because right now we're a failing nation. So we'll take care of
� it. Thank you. Very good question.
