August 16, 2024We’re finally getting some inkling of what the Democrats’ anointed presidential candidate Kamala Harris has in store for Americans when it comes to the economy. It’s not good. Indeed, it’s a disaster in the making, one that would set the U.S. economy back decades, destroy businesses, create shortages and lead to even higher prices.
Harris has a big problem. She’s the No. 2 official in an administration that many economists consider the worst in decades. How do you escape that? Of course, you deny it’s your fault, then promise radical, unworkable new policies to replace the old failed ones. The ol’ switcheroo.
“Harris won’t say it this bluntly in public,” left-leaning Axios reported, “but her advisers do so privately: She wants to break with Biden on issues on which he’s unpopular. First up: rising prices. This is part of a highly choreographed effort to define herself — in some cases, redefine herself — as a different kind of Democrat.”
Well, she’s not too “different,” if by that you mean replacing obviously failed economic policies with even worse ones. Democrats do it all the time.
What remains of the Biden administration is in no mood to accommodate the fantasy of her non-involvement. Biden spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, as Gateway Pundit’s Christina Laila pointed out, “threw Kamala Harris under the bus and said she is indeed responsible for the inflation crisis.”
So how does Harris plan to avoid blame for the economic pain most Americans feel is due to Bidenomics?
By coming up with even worse solutions to the inflation problem that has left millions of Americans worse off than they were four years ago.
Harris now proposes a “first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries — setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries.”
Worse, as Fox News reports, “The proposal would give authority to the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to impose harsh penalties on companies for setting excessively high prices.
