Harris Economic Plan Rebrands Democrats’ Old Playbook
By S.T. Karnick
Vice President and Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris outlined her “Agenda to Lower Costs for American Families” in a widely anticipated speech in Raleigh, North Carolina last Friday. Far from being an agenda, with actual costs and benefits specified, Harris’s plan is a slapdash assortment of ideas for even greater interference in the economy by the people who broke it in the first place.
Harris’s program does have a consistent theme: she will create an “opportunity economy” by “building up our middle class” and lowering costs of housing, health care, and groceries. That echoes the rhetoric Harris and President Joe Biden have continually used to camouflage their destructive, big-government, antibusiness policies.
The Democrat Party has a multidecade history of thwarting opportunity and the “middle class” and causing inflation and other economic destruction. Harris’s announced program merely rebrands the Democrats’ system of interest group payoffs and is in no way a positive, organized plan for rebuilding the bourgeoisie.
Shamelessly stretching a sheepskin over the rabid wolf that is Democrat governance, Harris butters up the normies with repeated mentions of “families,” the “middle class,” “children,” “workers” and “hardworking Americans.” She rebrands Democrat interest-group politics as an appeal to the middle-income taxpayers to whom she and the Democrats have been sticking it for decades, attempting to replay the successful strategy of Bill Clinton’s 1990s presidential campaigns.
