Kamala Now

Key Points

  • She is already the Vice President. Any time she suggests fixing the economy or helping the middle class or doing xyz, keep in mind that she is currently the Vice President of the United States and that she and President Biden could take steps to help the struggling American people TODAY.

  • POLICY PROPOSAL: Wants to Give First-Time Homebuyers $25K. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/kamala-harris-wants-to-give-first-time-homebuyers-25k-is-that-a-good-idea/ar-AA1oVTh0

    • Back to basics Econ 101—artificially inflating demand without addressing supply will just increase the price of homes

  • POLICY PROPOSAL: PRICE CONTROL MEASURES to reign in inflation (which she caused when she cast the tie-breaking vote that moved the American Rescue Plan forward in the U.S. Senate.) So she is blaming “corporate greed” for inflation that her administration caused, and now her solution is a government-controlled economy https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/08/15/kamala-harris-economic-policy-2024/

    • Communism: A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people

    • Reminder: grocery stores have some of the slimmest profit margins –well under 2%, because it’s so competitive – no food shortages in the US + lots of competition. Prices are determined by supply and demand (see chapter 2) – you can only do “price gouging” if you are the only one offering the product  https://smallbusiness.chron.com/profit-margin-supermarket-22467.html

    • “Four things have almost invariably followed the imposition of controls to keep prices below the level they would reach under supply and demand in a free market: (1) increased use of the product or service whose price is controlled [because it’s so cheap], (2) Reduced supply of the same product or service [because producers don’t make profits making it, so they make less, plus everyone is buying so much of it], (3) quality deterioration, (4) black markets.” -Thomas Sowell

    • ECON 101: the way to lower food, gas and housing prices is to lower energy costs and stop massive deficit spending. Inflation comes from government overspending because the CHECKS NEVER BOUNCE when it’s written by the government. If they spend more than they bring in, it increases the money supply. The Inflation Reduction Act drastically increased prices of food and fuel and energy and housing.

    • Price controls have been disastrous whenever they’ve been implemented. Prices are signals, ways of communicating how much of a good is needed by consumers and how much ought to be produced. Interfering with these signals will create terrible shortages. Giving the government the power to meddle in the economy in this way will not drive prices down; it will force some firms to go out of business and some consumers to experience shortages of goods they would have otherwise been able to purchase. The scale at which this devastation happens is contingent on the scale at which the government chooses to meddle.

    • During those 59 days, Republicans Donald Trump and JD Vance have participated in more than 70 interviews and press conferences with TV and print reporters while Harris and Walz have taken part in seven, according to an Axios analysis.

    • Vance alone has participated in more than seven times more interviews and press conferences than Harris and Walz combined during that time.

  • 50 days and Harris finally has policies on her website..Kamala Harris Can’t Keep Running Like This She’s been coasting on good vibes, but the honeymoon is over.  The campaign’s strategy, it seemed, was to ride those good summer vibes and avoid the risk of an aggressive policy agenda that would expose her to criticism. But having too few policies is also risky, not least because it makes Harris look like she doesn’t stand for anything (and also because her few policy stances then get nitpicked to death: Her price-gouging solution was roundly criticized by economists across the political spectrum, while her tip policy has come under fire because it was first taken up by Trump). https://newrepublic.com/article/185758/kamala-harris-policy-agenda-campaign-reset “Policies” are either stolen, from Biden or Trump. The Harris campaign is only now, belatedly, realizing that this is a problem. On Sunday, they finally added an “Issues” section to her website. It includes a slew of policies that the campaign has previously outlined, as well as sections on reproductive and civil rights. Unfortunately for Harris, its release was undermined by a simple but telling error: The page’s source code revealed that parts of the platform were copied directly from Biden’s campaign page.”Kamala Harris doctored headlines on Google present ‘significant ethical concern’: media analyst https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-doctored-headlines-on-google-present-significant-ethical-concern-media-analyst/ar-AA1oODjS

Harris was attorney general of California at the time and was directly involved in the prosecution of Daleiden. This includes the controversial decision to raid Daleiden’s home, during which officers took his personal laptop and multiple hard drives.

    Policy Proposals

  • POLICY PROPOSAL steals Trump’s “no tax on tips” policy - Harris endorses eliminating taxes on tips, touting policy first proposed by Trump https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/12/politics/taxes-on-tips-eliminate-proposal-harris/index.html

  • POLICY PROPOSAL: Her campaign announced that she would be revealing PRICE CONTROL MEASURES to reign in inflation – which she caused when she cast the tie-breaking vote that moved the American Rescue Plan forward in the U.S. Senate.

What would her presidency look like? See above for ideas, and, as per her, after nominated, she is in line with what Biden has done

  • She IS the incumbent. She insisted on all policies be labeled Biden/HARRIS administration. Biden’s policies are her policies.

  • “So mark her down as endorsing the spending blowouts that caused inflation, the Green New Deal, entitlement expansions and student loan forgiveness. Until she says otherwise, we should also assume she’s in favor of Mr. Biden’s $5 trillion tax increase in 2025.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/opinion-what-kamala-harris-believes/ar-BB1qrknz

  • Backs reversal of Trump tax cuts (which helped 91% of Americans - see policies)

Well said, RFJ, Jr:

The Democratic Party of RFK and JFK was the party of civil liberties and free speech. VP Harris’s is the party of censorship, lockdowns, and medical coercion. 

Kennedy Democrats were anti-war. Kamala’s is riddled with neocon warmongers.

The RFK/JFK dems were allies of Main Street, cops, firefighters, and working people. VP Harris’s is the Party of Big Tech, Big Pharma and Wall Street.

My dad and uncle’s party was the champion of voting rights and fair elections. VP Harris’s is the party of lawfare, disenfranchisement, and the coronation of its candidates by corporate donors and party elites.

I’ve used our nation’s courts to prosecute corporations who hurt Black Americans. VP Harris used our nation’s courts to mercilessly prosecute Black Americans and exploit them for their labor.

My father and uncle prided themselves on their skills at debate and their ability to articulate a coherent vision for our country. VP Harris is scared to debate and can’t survive an unscripted interview. Instead of outlining a vision, she relies on middleschool tactics – memes, forged headlines, infantile slogans (Joy!) and name calling (“Republicans are weird.”)

I’ve spent years battling government corruption and lies. VP Harris spent years gaslighting Americans about the health of our Commander in Chief.

40 days in and we have an interview! But:

1. friendly network (CNN) AND friendly interviewer (Dana Bash told millions of viewers that Kamala was not the border czar (see lies and below)

2. with her VP (not solo)

3. pre-taped (where is the unused footage? what was said?)

“Kamala Harris was never the Border Czar”

⁃         Media suddenly changes its tune on calling Kamala Harris the ‘border czar’ — despite giving her the title https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/media-suddenly-changes-its-tune-on-calling-kamala-harris-the-border-czar-despite-giving-her-the-title/ar-BB1qztcP

“INTERVIEW” on Aug 29 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl9gPBasyv4

  • KAMALA: “the most important and significant aspect of my policy perception is my values have not changed.”

  • INTERVIEWER; “In 2019, you said and I quote: ’there is no question I am in favor of banning fracking.’…do you still want to ban fracking?”

  • KAMALA: “no, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020.”

  • [FLASHB ACK to 2020 debates: “there’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking.” https://www.youtube.com/shorts/wzGWJKErkzM (she was probably referencing a different debate in 2020 in which she said she and Biden would NOT ban fracking)

  • INTERVIEWER: if you are elected, what would you do on day 1 in the white house?

  • KAMALA: Well, there are a number of things. I will tell you, first and foremost, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class. When I look at the aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people, I think that people are ready for a new way forward, in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by hope and by optimism. I think, sadly, in the last decade, we have had in the former president someone who is really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans, really dividing our nation, and I think people are ready to turn the page on that.

  • INTERVIEWER: so what would you do day 1?

  • KAMALA: Day one, it’s going to be about one, implementing my plan for what I call an opportunity economy. I’ve already laid out a number of proposals in that regard, which include what we’re going to do to bring down the cost of everyday goods, what we’re going to do to invest in America’s small businesses, what we’re going to do to invest in families. For example, extending the child tax credit to $6,000 for families [WHICH JD VANCE HAD PROPOSED FIRST!] for the first year of their child’s life, to help them buy a car seat to help them buy baby clothes, a crib. There’s the work that we’re going to do that is about investing in the American family around affordable housing a big issue in our country right now. So there are a number of things on day one.  https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/kamala-harris-reveals-what-she-would-do-on-day-one-of-presidency-during-cnn-interview/ar-AA1pGdUu

Kamala has flipped on the following issues (as of Aug 29) 

  • Decriminalizing border crossings (was in favor of, now is not)

  • Building a border wall (“anti-American” and “medieval vanity project” and “stupid waste of money” …now wants to fund)

  • Abolishing private health care insurance (was in favor, now not)

  • Electric vehicle mandates (was in favor, now against, when in senate co-sponsored legislation to ban sale of gas cars by 2030 – “0 emissions vehicle act of 2019”)

  • Banning fracking (was in favor of, now against)

  • Opposing more police on the streets (was in favor of, now against)

Kamala Harris Is Trying to Run From Her Prosecutorial Record https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/commentary/kamala-harris-trying-run-her-prosecutorial-record

Kamala Harris Criminalized and Prosecuted Parents https://www.heritage.org/education/commentary/kamala-harris-criminalized-and-prosecuted-parents She championed a state law that criminalized the parents of truants and subjected them to hefty fines and up to one year in prison.

QUESTIONS FOR KAMALA:

  • What are you accomplishments? As VP, senator, AG, DG?  

  • 2020: you wanted to ban fracking, now you don’t want to. Why?

  • 2020: you co-sponsored a bill saying by 2035, there should be NO gas-powered engines sold in US. Now you say no mandate. Why?

  • 2020: you said you wanted to decriminalize border crossings. Now you are campaigning on being tough on border crime and wanting to build the wall. As AG you sued to try to prevent the federal government from cracking down on sanctuary cities. Which is it?

  • Tax on unrealized gains – even your billionaire supporter Mark Cuban says that will destroy the stock market. What’s the deal with that?

  • 2020: pro-race-reparations. Are you still?

  • Pro-abortion until…birth? Is this still true? What IS your position on abortion?  When does human life begin?

  • Pro-transing the children? Are you?

  • Under your and Biden’s watch, internationally – all of our enemies are on the move. Russia invaded Ukraine, Iran 7 different fronts attacks on Israel, China has eyes on Taiwan. Thoughts?!

  • Business/economy experience – do you have any? Have you run a lemonade stand? Or have you been in politics your entire life/career (like Bidens/Clintons) 93% turnover rate in your office as VP – how will you run this country? You have pledged that if you become president and democrats control the house and senate, you’ll kill the filibuster, stack the Supreme Court, change voting rules, mandate ballot harvesting, and add states to US (DC and PR). THIS is a “threat to democracy” is it not?
