LETTER: Harris’ inflation promises fall flat

It was interesting watching the presidential debate and hearing that Kamala Harris is for small business and wants to give a tax credit for new startups. I wonder why she and the administration haven’t done anything in the past 3½ years to help the small-business owners during that time. For example, my auto/general liability insurance policies have gone up 38 percent over the past 3½ years. No tickets, no accidents and not one claim, period. Fuel costs have increased 45 percent during the same time. Supply costs for my business have increased more than 50 percent. I can’t afford a new truck because interest rates have doubled. The cost for the same truck in 2020 versus 2024 has gone up by 42 percent.
