When you've got markets swooning, the price of gold hitting record highs, and skeptical reporters asking you about your communism-mimicking economic plan, maybe you should have some prepared explanations for the questions that arise.
Kamala Harris didn't.
Here's her response to a CNN reporter's question about how she plans to "pay for" all her big spending plans:
Collin Rugg @CollinRugg NEW: Kamala Harris struggles to answer after a reporter asks her about her economic policy, says “return on investment” four times.
Reporter: Can you explain how you're gonna pay for your policies?
Harris: Well, I mean, you just look at it in terms of what we are talking about, for example, around children and the child tax credit… it's at $6,000 for the first year of a a child's life.
The return on that investment in terms of what that will do and what it will pay for will be tremendous…
And then what we're doing in terms of the tax credits, we know that there's a great return on investment and when we increase home ownership in America…
What that does to fund schools, again, return on investment…
I think it's a mistake for any person who talks about public policy to not critically evaluate how you measure the return on investment…
She ignored the question about paying for it, had no idea of what she was talking about and could only use the buzzword "investments" four times in her babbly, off-the-cuff response to questions about her plans to shovel out government cash, which will add a monstrous amount to the already unsustainable $35 trillion national debt.
What do you do when you are in economic trouble? According to her, you whip out the government credit card. You let the other guy worry about "paying for it."

Just not the right people implementing marxist theories.
loves to hear a song about “word salad” harris sung to the tune of poke salad Annie. IF I could only write songs, that’s what I’d write today.
This video, beginning at 5:42, shows Harris’ “what??? did she say”? response.

This answer reminds me of the punchline of the old SNL skit - First Citywide Change Bank. How do you make any money? Volume...
She's just particularly bad at saying anything and making it seem coherent. Especially when the basic premise is absurd to begin with.
Harris also hoped to trigger some votes-——
she kept repeating “return on investment”
Wall Street buzzwords.
Renters end up paying for schools as well since their rent payments go to landlords who have to pay property tax.
This is way over Kamala’s head of course.
Grayson Moorhead Securities
- A Tradition of Excellence -
Narrator:
On Wall Street, Trendy investment fads have come and gone over the
years, but not at Grayson Moorhead, where we’ve always stuck to the
basic principles set forth by Arthur Grayson nearly 80 years ago.
Arthur Grayson:
Our clients must be our first priority.
- The Tradition Endures -
AG:
We will take our client’s money and invest it. Part of the profit
we will keep for ourselves; the rest we will give to the client.
- A Tradition of Security -
We will make a list of our clients and how much money each of them
has given us to invest. We will keep this list in a safe place. If
we have time we will make a copy of the list in case something happens
to the first list.
- A Tradition of Listening -
Listen to your client. It’s the only way to know what he’s saying.
- A Tradition of Trust -
If a client is talking and you’re not listening and he notices and
he accuses you of not listening, just say, “Sure I’ve been listening,
I’ve heard every word you’ve said.” If he then says, “All right, tell
me what I’ve been talking about,” just say, “You’ve been talking about
your investments. Which stocks to buy and so on.” That way the client
will think you’ve been listening even though you haven’t.
- A Tradition of Integrity -
We will invest only in white-owned businesses.
Not all of Arthur Grayson’s principles are followed today, but at
Grayson Moorhead we still believe in the basics.
Don’t leave the client’s money lying around. Keep it in a safe place.
For example: where we keep the list.
To Arthur Grayson, there was no substitute for knowing the market.
Clients will rely on us for market expertise. If the day ever comes when a client knows more about the market than we do, copy him. Do what he does.
- Writing Brokers’ Names on Slips of Paper -
Once a year, we will write each broker’s name on a slip of paper and
then place the slips in a hat. Each broker will then draw a slip of
paper from the hat. He will buy a gift for the broker whose name he
his drawn. He will be that broker’s Secret Santa.
- Drawing Again -
If a broker draws his own name from the hat, he will draw again.
- Taking Special Care -
We must take special care of the list with each client’s name and the
amount of money he has invested. If we were to lose that list, we
would be ruined.
- If My Wife Calls -
If my wife calls white I’m in shagging my secretary, tell her I’m
at a board meeting. That way I’ll be able to continue shagging my
secretary without my wife knowing about it.
- the tradition continues... -
If my wife were to find out about me and my secretary; that would be bad.
As bad as losing the list.
Her husband starts nodding his head at this nonsense. He knows what’s going on and is helping cover it up.
An investment must paid for up front to get a return.
Yep, ive heard people say that socialism and communism were never implemented properly.
So then, apparently people such as Joe Stalin, Chairman Mao, And Fidel Castro, just weren’t very good communists
Who’s pocket does the $6000 come out of ?
Joy!
She offers nothing but sophomoric doublespeak. She’s not even good at it even with all her experience doing it.
We’re investing $6K in a child who will only develop menial job skills and $25K in a home that will be either repossessed or condemned within 5 years.
the missing part of the equation is
that those funds have been taken out of the private sector
Amen
That woman is either high or has been drinking every time I see her. What a disgusting situation we’re in. And that so many brain dead people support her is contemptable.
In that video she was just making up bull $hit as she went on.
