Kamala Harris has lastly posted some coverage positions on an “Points” web page on her web site — however they’re a joke.
The intro, like Harris herself, makes use of a ton of phrases to say subsequent to nothing: She plans on “build up the center class,” creating an “Alternative Economic system the place everybody has an opportunity to compete and an opportunity to succeed” and “bringing collectively organized labor and staff, small enterprise homeowners, entrepreneurs, and American firms to create good paying jobs.”
Within the subsequent replace, she’ll absolutely come out in favor of apple pie, cute kittens and lovely puppies.
And when she isn’t spewing platitudes, she’s doubling-down with extra pablum and outright dangerous concepts.
To convey down the record-high prices on fundamental items pummeling American households, she’ll “crack down on anti-competitive practices that allow massive companies jack up costs,” and push by way of “a federal ban on company worth gouging on meals and groceries.”
That’s, she’s nonetheless pretending away the precise set off of latest sky-high inflation (the reckless Harris-Biden post-COVID spending) by blaming companies for (mysteriously) getting extra-greedy as soon as the Democrats took over.
And she or he’s nonetheless providing the identical previous vote-buying (inflation-goosing!) freebies.
Harris needs to “proceed working to finish the unreasonable burden of pupil mortgage debt” (which means extra unlawful taxpayer bailouts) and repeats her pledges to provide first-time homebuyers “as much as $25,000” and provides “a $6,000 tax reduce to households with new child kids,” all whereas someway “making certain nobody incomes lower than $400,000 a yr can pay extra in taxes.”
If that math appears doubtful, it’s as a result of Harris’ supposed plan for paying for all of those is the ever-popular “tax the wealthy.”
Her plan to “strengthen Social Safety and Medicare” is, laughably, to make “millionaires and billionaires pay their justifiable share in taxes,” when the highest 1% of earners already fork over 45.8% of Uncle Sam’s income-tax take.
And she or he vows to “decrease power prices” by . . . sticking to the Biden “local weather motion” agenda — which in actuality has elevated them.
Extra daring stands: Harris says she’s for “security and justice for all” and believes that “nobody is above the regulation,” her previous assist for defunding the police and bailing out race-rioters, be damned.
And naturally her massive border plans contain the invoice that will’ve liberalized asylum legal guidelines, plus creating “an earned pathway to citizenship” that magically wouldn’t entice extra unlawful migrants.
Guess she’ll inform us after the election the place she’ll get all of the pixie mud to make these goals come true.
In the meantime, she “beefs up” her agenda with a wholesome dose of drained fearmongering.
Each part of Harris proposals comes juxtaposed with a dishonest abstract of “Trump’s Challenge 2025 Agenda” — by no means thoughts that Trump’s by no means executed something however disavow Challenge 2025.
The Harris marketing campaign took weeks to give you even this disingenuous pack of fluff.
Which makes you surprise: Have they put any effort into determining what’s she’d actually do as president, and simply don’t wish to share it?
Or is she simply pushing aside the robust work of figuring what she really stands for till after the election?
