Kamala Harris promises 'bold experimentation' like Franklin Roosevelt, but Americans aren't lab rats

As if the prospect of a Kamala Harris presidency isn't terrifying enough, she had to go and say this.

Harris tells the Pittsburgh Economic Club, “I will engage in what Franklin Roosevelt called bold, persistent experimentation.”

— Philip Melanchthon Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) September 25, 2024

The last three years with Biden and Harris have been bad enough. This experiment is already a big fat failure.

Because she has no idea how economics works. This is a horrifying threat.

Yes, we already saw how that worked out.

We have so much wiggle room with the economy, manufacturing and illegal immigration. Idk what could go wrong.

— Bleu Cheque (@VERBAL_CHANCLA) September 25, 2024

There is oh so very much that could wrong.

Lovely, Socialism on steroids. This is not a winning message, but at least she’s being honest. 🤷🏻‍♂️

They are already getting the middle class used to being poor.

What can even possibly go wrong? https://t.co/ifHmcYrNUd

No, thank you. I’m not a lab mouse. https://t.co/AaXkvftijR

Nor are we one of Dr. Fauci's beagles.

FDR's "bold, persistent experimentation" lengthened the Great Depression by seven years, according to a UCLA study conducted by a couple of lefties. https://t.co/w8dME3tcRA

Kamala's staff has said she doesn't really like to get into the weeds of background studies and reading long reports, so how could she be expected to know that?

Horrible idea. Massive expansion of the federal government is the exact opposite of what we need. States exist for the purpose she is expressing here, not DC. https://t.co/wrKgcOav4p

— Austin (@JuicedJag) September 25, 2024

Expanding government is the Democrat's answer to all troubles, though.

If you want to see how well this works, just look at education. Every few years a nifty new theory comes out - open classrooms! Collaborative workspace! Reading centers with filmstrips - that is inflicted on students until the next one. And they’re all bad. https://t.co/hZjG1HJ8v2

— Feral Goddess (@LadaMokusa) September 25, 2024

It's bad for education and also very bad for governing people.

“Bold, persistent experimentation” caused a ton of confusion and prolonged the Great Depression by several years, causing the only double-dip recession in history.

An economy is millions of people interacting, not a machine that can be directed and operated from DC. https://t.co/lyduuE3grG

Like the last 3.5 years? https://t.co/TWJJuEz4Mr

Was Kamala's 'bold experiment' hanging around and doing nothing for the last 3 years? If so, she is a resounding success.

Without even getting into the socialist nature of much the New Deal one of the criticisms that came from both left and right was FDR’s impatience with the programs. There’s a famous cartoon showing him as a doc with a sick patient and changing meds without waiting to see if they work. That’s what Harris’s experimentation would be.

Archie Bunker : [Maude refuses to get out of Archie’s chair] Well, I got the secret weapon that can lay this little lady right away. Here we go. This country was ruined by Franklin Delano Roosevelt!

Cousin Maude : You’re fat.

Archie Bunker : Sticks and stones may break my bones, but Franklin Delano Roosevelt...

Edith Bunker : Archie, you promised never to say that name again in front of Maude.

Archie Bunker : Franklin Delano Roosevelt!

Edith Bunker : [to Maude] He don’t mean nothing. His whole family was for Roosevelt.

Archie Bunker : That was for two terms. But that was it. We didn’t know the guy was going to hold on to the job like a pope!

What Franklin Roosevelt called bold, persistent experimentation was found to be mostly unconstitutional.

So I’m sure she is telling the truth.

I can’t imagine 4 more years of Harris. The first years were SO bad. She has no idea how a country should be run.

“I will engage in what Franklin Roosevelt called bold, persistent experimentation.”

Why do I have Gary Larsen cartoons flashing before my eyes?

Kamala “Chavez”Harris is a prime example of a faux communist living the high life. The Faux commies want to try “real”. Communism because no dictator has never gotten it right.

Commies always see people as lumps of clay to shape into what they want. We aren’t human, we are experiments to them.

The TRUE Kamala, not a black lady at all. A vindictive beotch who took it out on blacks. Her relentless pursuit of truants led to this

FDR gave us the National Firearms Act, the Social Security Act, and legalized extortion and price-fixing by labor unions in the guise of the National Labor Relations Act.

He was America’s first all-socialist, all-the-time POTUS.
