VP Kamala Harris says she will tackle the inflation problem on her first day in office. Her first day in office was over three years ago, so why didn’t she solve the problem then?
If you’d been robbed by a person, you’d be insane to have that same individual investigate the crime. That’s essentially the situation with Vice President Kamala Harris’s plan to reduce the very inflation she helped cause. Like burglar who won’t admit to the robbery, Harris is casting blame elsewhere and proposing an economically illiterate agenda that would only worsen Americans’ finances.
First, Harris’s response to inflation is entirely wrong. Price increases over the last three and a half years aren’t due to «greedy corporations» or «price gouging», as she alleges. This doesn’t even pass the smell test. Or did all businesses suddenly turn greedy in January 2021, more so than they’d been at any other time in the last four decades?
Clearly not. It was the runaway, profligate spending of the Biden-Harris regime that drive inflation to 40-year highs and credit-card interest rates to record highs. Before scapegoating the boogieman of corporations, Harris should take a long, hard look in the mirror.
Not only did she cheerlead for trillions of dollars in inflationary deficit spending, she cast the tiebreaking vote on two of the three largest spending bills of this administration. Her fingerprints are all over the murder weapon that killed Americans’ finances.
Furthermore, the Biden-Harris administration’s own data disprove the entire «price-gouging» narrative surrounding inflation.
