here are some of giggles lies in the debate
At the start of the debate, Harris tried to portray Trump’s proposal of across-the-board tariffs on foreign goods as a “sales tax.” Tariffs are distinct from sales taxes, which are fees leveled on the sale of goods or services.
“My opponent has a plan that I call the Trump sales tax, which would be a 20% tax on everyday goods that you rely on to get through the month,” Harris said.
“First of all, I have no sales tax. That's an incorrect statement. She knows that we're doing tariffs on other countries,” Trump responded.
While many economists note that tariffs raise prices for American consumers, President Biden has also levied them on some Chinese goods.
No U.S. military members are on active duty in a combat zone?
Despite the fact that U.S. troops continue to serve in global hot spots like Iraq, Syria and Somalia, Harris made a claim that made it sound as if America’s soldiers were not deployed in combat zones around the world.
“And as of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone, in any war zone around the world, the first time this century," Harris said.
Invested $1 trillion in the clean energy economy?
Harris took some liberties with math when she touted the amount of money the Biden administration has invested in clean energy.
“Over the last four years, we have invested $1 trillion in a clean energy economy,” she said.
While passing the Inflation Reduction Act put in place tax incentives and credits designed to spur the transition of the U.S. economy to renewable sources of energy, clean energy investments have only added up to $700 billion, according to Clean Investment Monitor.
