Kamala Harris is “hoping to distance herself from President Biden’s unpopularity on the economy,” her stenographers at Axios report.
Get set for some epic gaslighting, as Harris tries to escape the blame not just for policies she backed these last 3½ years, but core Democratic stances.
In her stump speech, she keeps vowing to bring down grocery bills on Day 1 in the Oval Office — and inflation, too.
But if it were that easy, why not just tell her current partner in crime, the sitting president, how to do it?
The fact is, the Federal Reserve has carried the weight on slowing inflation, by slamming interest rates through the roof . . . and thereby killing job growth and slowing the economy to near-recession levels.
The Biden-Harris contribution has been exclusively on the goosing-inflation end, by putting Uncle Sam on a long-term track of spending $2 trillion more a year than he takes in.
Remember: The economy started roaring back from the COVID shutdowns in the last quarter of 2020.
Then Biden-Harris sought to grab credit for the rebound by ramming through their American Recovery Act, which dumped billions in new spending on an already-hot economy — and so triggered the record-breaking rise in prices, hitting 9% before the Fed began its clampdown.
