Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have something up their sleeve

When Vice President Kamala Harris appeared for the first time with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in Philadelphia on August 6, they reintroduced joy into politics and governing. โ€œThank you for bringing back the joy,โ€ Walz told Harris. He also referred to Harris as a โ€œcompassionate, careful, joyous leaderโ€ who โ€œbelieves in each and every one of you.โ€

While Harris isnโ€™t the President of the United States (yet), sheโ€™s been instrumental in working with President Joe Biden to find more ways to make everyday life less stressful and more fulfilling for Americans. A new initiative by the Biden-Harris administration, which hasnโ€™t received much media attention, serves as a reminder that Harris, Walz, and Biden are politicians who consider themselves public servants committed to genuinely improving the lives of their constituents.

Biden and Harris launched a โ€œTime Is Moneyโ€ initiative on Monday, predicated on the idea that โ€œAmericans are tired of being played for suckersโ€ and reflecting the fact the administration is โ€œcommitted to addressing the pain points they face in their everyday lives,โ€ according to a Fact Sheet. The initiative targets โ€œcorporate tricks and scamsโ€ such as โ€œexcessive paperwork, hold times, and general aggravationโ€ that are โ€œunnecessary headachesโ€ to Americans that โ€œdegrade their quality of lifeโ€ but help โ€œpad the profits of big business.โ€

The Biden-Harris administration wants Americans to know that the hoops theyโ€™ve had to jump through to cancel a gym membership or claim a rebate are often intentionalโ€”part of a strategy to maximize profits at the expense of the consumer. With Time Is Money, the administration is doubling down on its commitment to making life simpler and less aggravating.

In addition to the specifics outlined in the Fact Sheet, the Biden-Harris administration is inviting the public to share ideas about how the federal government can step in and remove confusion, manipulation, deception, and delays to reclaim time and save money. You, along with your friends and family, can submit thoughts and suggestions through this page.

A vote for the Harris and Walz in November will keep Time Is Money alive while paving the way for more efforts that help Americans succeed against the frustrations and headaches of daily life. Supporting the Harris-Walz ticket means choosing a future where joy isnโ€™t just a word or a feeling, but a guiding principle for U.S. leadership.
