Dan McLaughlin of National Review Online highlights Vice President Kamala Harris’ dubious campaign proposals.
Kamala Harris has now spent a full month running on little more than the wave of relief from Joe Biden’s departure.
Finally, on Friday, she unveiled an iota of policy – focused on American finances.
Judging by this first batch of economic proposals, Kamalanomics is a bad joke.
It’s warmed-over Bidenomics – and worse, she pretends America can expect something different if they elect her.
‘A loaf of bread costs 50 percent more today than it did before the pandemic,’ Harris told a crowd in North Carolina. ‘Ground beef is up almost 50 percent.’
Yes, and you’ve had three and a half years to do something about it while you’ve been running the country as Vice President. What’s stopping you from doing something about it right now?
Harris won’t say.
Has Bidenomics failed?
Harris won’t say.
Instead, she continues to insist that the Biden-Harris administration is more in sync than ever.
‘We love you, Joe,’ she chants, with that trademark rictus grin, as if she hasn’t just stabbed her old boss in the back.
She continues to peddle the line that real economic progress has been made, that America’s economy is the ‘strongest in the world’.
Yet how does she marry that with rising costs that are, in her own words, ‘still too high’, or the booming ‘cost of health care’, or the people ‘being exploited in the housing market’, or the dire need for ‘tax cuts’?
Somehow, it’s still all Donald Trump’s fault.
‘[Trump] plans to devastate the middle class, punish working people, and make the cost of living go up for millions of Americans,’ she whined on Friday.
Does she take us for fools?
Last week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to paper over the cracks when asked about reports of a rift between Biden and Harris.
‘They’ve been aligned for the last three and a half years. There’s not been any daylight,’ she said. ‘[Harris] is going to build on… the historic successes that they’ve had.’
So, there you have it, folks: it’s four more years of this.
