Harris skewered for 'day one' promise to 'bring down prices:' 'What have you been doing the last 4 years?'
Fox News ^ | August 16, 2024 | Alexander Hall

Vice President Kamala Harris promised to prioritize a price-fixing plan on "day one," but commentators asked why she hasn't brought down inflation already while in the executive branch.

"When I am President, it will be a day one priority to bring down prices," Harris declared in a Thursday night social media post. "I’ll take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging and corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families."

But the vice president and presidential hopeful faces one unique challenge in arguing about policy, the fact she has failed to enact such changes over the course of the Biden-Harris administration she currently presides in, a point many commentators pointed out.

...

"Day 1 was 3.5 years ago for you. What are you talking about?" co-owner of Trending Politics Collin Rugg asked.

...

Political scientist Josiah Lippincott noted, "You are vice president right now. Why aren't you working on these issues?"

...

"Lol she did our headline," The Babylon Bee managing editor Joel Berry said as he shared a screenshot of his parody outlet’s headline, "'I Will Fix Things If You Vote Me Into Office,' Says Woman Currently In Office."

Great summation, lots of good quotes, a quick read. Skewered for doing nothing.

“Skewered for doing nothing.”

They did do something. They attacked energy which led to high inflation. Now they want to attack the food industry. Still more for them to do.

When I hear what Democrats are saying, I think of an old Merle Haggard tune called “Rainbow Stew”. Kinda sounds like what they are promising, but will never deliver.

This is her new obama appointed campaign team attempting to separate her from taterhead Joe.

Her problem is, if she were anyone BUT his VP it might actually work......but they’re stuck together like glue.

She is promising to bring prices down to where Trump had them.

Hey, it sounds good but you can’t bring prices down with ever increasing minimum pay. We knew this several years ago when they started whining about “a living wage” at no skill jobs. Jobs that were originally meant for teenagers, not in no way, no how ever meant for the head of household earner supporting 2.5 kids, a dog, 2 car payments and a mortgage. But no one listened, sigh.

Socialism, as a command-and-control scheme, is notable for its agenda of making promises they never intend to keep.

“I’ll take on big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging and corporate landlords that unfairly raise rents on working families.”

Hey, Einstein... how bout we lower the crazy taxes the “corporate landlords” have to pay, then maybe they won’t have to raise their rents on working families...

She not only copies Trump’s ideas in her speeches but sounds more like Castro.

Communism is her party’s agenda with a lot of sugar on it.

She not only did she do nothing about inflation as VP, she provided the tie-breaking votes in the senate for two bills that dramatically increased inflation:

“Harris cast deciding votes to advance the $1.9-trillion stimulus bill known as the American Rescue Plan in 2021 and the $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act.

Following the passage of the stimulus package, inflation increased significantly.

The U.S. inflation rate was 1.4% in 2020, then jumped to 7% in 2021. President Biden repeatedly said he ‘inherited’ a 9% inflation rate, which CNN called false.

According to a Pew Research Center poll from May, 62% of U.S. adults said that inflation was “a very big problem for the country.

The misnamed Inflation Reduction Act strikes at rich and poor alike and would adversely affect every American family.”

Like Biden promising to CURE CANCER if elected.

Just saw an idiotic Biden commercial with his trash wife bragging about some tumor act or hospital or something they are releasing.

ON THEIR WAY OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

Nothing for FOUR GD years but attacking America, destroying America and putting bullseyes on Conservatives yet at the last moment, they have to smear their 💩 so people will remember them by their skid mark that they actually did something that they can leave their name on.

VDH-—Kamala Harris is still vice president for another six months.

And there she is, on the hustings, spouting her “fixes” for self-created inflation and
a dangerous open border, manipulating public opinion, to get herself elected president.

How dumb is she?

Does she even know as a sitting VP she has the power
to put pressure on those do-nothing Congressional Democrats
to get her vaunted ‘Day one’ solutions enacted right now?

She could even get her buddy Biden to help out.......
if she gets him to remembers he’s still president.

In other words, Harris is proposing to use enemy tactics to “solve” the problem they caused.

Typical alinski/cloward-piven strategy. Blame free market Capitalism to bring about communist control.

Yes, at some point we’ll start hearing an uptick in sexist and racist claims because we and Trump aren’t nice or don’t embrace Harris. I wonder what percent of the vote in November will be people voting for Harris and Walz to prove they are not racist or sexist?
