Kamala Harris has been the Second Chair for Joe Biden since January 20, 2021. That is 1,305 days since she and Joe Biden put one hand on the Bible and the other on the throats of Americans. Kamala Harris has pledged unconditional support for the Joe Biden plan for America for nearly four years. After almost thirty days since she pushed Biden aside and stole his candidacy, she told America today that it is time to chart a new course for America. Today, in Pennsylvania, Harris laid out her economic platform for the Harris/Walz administration. If Bidenomics is working so well and had her absolute support for over 1,300 days, why are we in need of a new course? There is no debate. Kamala Harris’ plan is pure Socialism.

Between her outright lies about the Trump Plan and trying to link Trump to the 2025 Project, she made promises to America that will never clear Congress and become a reality. She promised first-time homebuyers a rebate of $25,000. She also alluded to a plan to free America of medical bills by forgiving medical debt. She planned to create a panel to review and penalize companies that engage in price gouging. Harris cited that the price of a loaf of bread and a pound of beef is up 50% since she and Joe Biden took office. Why would you hire the person who created the inflation of goods and services to fix the same catastrophic results?

I was in line with a young woman at the local grocery store today who was pushing two overflowing grocery carts with the help of her four children. I asked if that was a weekly haul, and she explained that she shops every other week and spends nearly $1,000 for each visit. I asked her what that same shopping trip cost two years ago, and she said half. $2,000 a month today versus $1,000 two years ago. I then asked what she planned to do about the rising cost. She smiled and said vote for Trump. Her vote is the only tool this woman has to end the inflation suffocating her family budget.

Kamala’s speech was a litany of promises designed to excite the people on the Left who feel they deserve everything the government can give them. She left out specifics and, of course, the most significant factor of all: who would pay for these Kamala Harris Giveaways. Nothing is for free, and if the government is going to be the Santa Clause for the wanting class, it will be the Middle and Upper classes that will foot the bill. The government has no money. The U.S. government transfers money from those who pay their taxes to those who do all they can to avoid paying anything. What Kamala Harris is doing is buying votes from the ignorant by making outrageous promises that she has no power or control to fulfill.

She promised millions of new homes and apartments for the middle class. Is she going to start a U.S. Government Construction Co.? One thing she did not offer was to unleash the U.S. economy and let it flourish on its own. She did not offer these folks a good job at a fair wage so they could fend for themselves rather than having a handout for other Americans to fill. What Kamala Harris is offering, and what she believes in to her core, is a bigger government and more control over the people. That is her vision of America. It certainly is not a vision that will work, nor is it one shared by half the country that lives in the real world to the Right of Harris/Walz.
