Fixing the Economy: A Car Mechanic's Perspective

Bucks County, USAWed Nov 06 2024
Tim Walz, a key figure in the Democratic presidential campaign, had a chat with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show" as the election heated up. Walz shared a clever car repair metaphor to explain his partner Kamala Harris's economic strategy. He likened it to reviving an old car's engine by cleaning the carburetor, which is akin to investing in the middle class. This boosts the overall economy, much like making the entire car run smoother. He also drew a sports analogy, comparing the election to the final minutes of a football game, urging everyone to give their all. Elsewhere, Jimmy Kimmel expressed surprise that Jeffrey Epstein's recordings, where he claimed to be Trump's best friend, hadn't caused more of a stir. Kimmel quipped that if even someone like Epstein thinks you lack a moral compass, that's really saying something.
