Kamala Harris unveils her socialist economic policy agenda

It's no wonder Kamala Harris has been hiding from the press.

The most liberal Senator/VP in the history of this country has just released her economic agenda and it's everything you'd expect from a far left socialist.  Via Kyle Griffin on X

* Eliminating medical debt for millions of Americans

* A ban on price gouging for groceries and food

* A cap on prescription drug costs

* A $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers

* A Child Tax Credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby's life

That first one is staggering. Medical debt at the moment stands at $88 billion. A couple of questions come to mind:

Simple erasure of the debt with the wave of a hand will see the health care system collapse. No one will choose to pay their debts. Thus, the costs are likely to be socialized. Everyone will pay. The second one, as we have discussed, will make food scarce.

Self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders has a voting record to the right of hers in the Senate.

Of course she’s promoting socialist and communist economic proposals.

But at least she does it with a cheerful laugh...right, media?

Elimination of kulaks, ration cards, mandatory labor, collection and redistribution of all property, wait skip the redistribution part, and lifetime tenure of all party officials.

I don’t even have to read anything about this to know that it’s stupid, unworkable, counter productive and wrong... And that’s just for starters.

Kamala and her dumb Marxists don’t know doodly-squat about economics.

Let’s spread the pain equally. On day one, all books start at zero. All debt is eliminated. No one owes anything. Only debt that gets paid is your foreign debt.

Yep. And her idiot voters are ALL for it.

What do they care? They have EBT cards...

NY Post:

(Harris rally) Attendee Dylan Neil noted that Harris’ ideas on curbing price gouging are “definitely a good policy, a lot of larger organizations can weasel their way in to manipulate certain systems, and I think that’s definitely an issue, and I think that it’s a really good proposal on her end.”.

Asked about Trump calling Harris’ plan to end price-gouging “communist”, Sangimino said that’s “insane, just like Donald Trump.” Neil added “I don’t think it’s communist at all.”

Jessica McKoy, a 30-year-old pharmacist from Raleigh, told the Post that she was keen on Harris’ plan to put “the stop on inflation,” adding that she was excited to hear more about the “plan to cut living expenses, groceries, gas taxes, and just represent the middle class.”

For Meg Sangimino, a content marketer in her late 20’s, the Child Tax Credit “sounded very promising,” adding that it was the first time she’d heard of the idea.”It seems like she is really focusing on families, especially in the middle class. That’s very appealing to me,” she said.

Asked if she thought it was fair for people with kids to pay less in taxes, Sangimino said, “I do, yeah, people with kids have a lot of costs that people without kids don’t have.”

Anyone who knowingly votes for price controls - shortages, grocery store closures, even higher prices as the stores left open try to reap a profit (average grocery store profit margin is 1.6%) - deserves the hell that is coming, that certainly won’t affect the likes of Harris and Walz.

The rest of us don’t.

Fertilizer and fuel cost increases are the primary causes of food price inflation.

Her policies caused it!
