Promises

Vice President Kamala Harris wants to help you. But you have to vote for her first. She has to be elected president in November before she rolls up her sleeves and gets her hands dirty for the American people — including you.

The cost of consumer goods and services skyrocketed while she was in office, with consumer prices rising more than 20 percent since January 2021. Food, rent and electricity have risen even more.

Still, her four years as President Joe Biden’s sidekick don’t count. Bidenomics belongs to the big man. Not Harris. And now Harris has a plan. A multifaceted plan. That’s why she needs your vote.

If she is elected President of the United States, she promises to save you money. She says she will give you $25,000 to buy your first house. She also plans to give you $6,000 every time you give birth.

Harris also wants to take on food suppliers, saying she will save you money on your weekly grocery bill.

Harris specifically says she will implement a federal ban on food and grocery overpricing. She says the reason groceries are so expensive is because of corporate greed; that price increases have nothing to do with the rampant money printing, deficit spending, or extreme dollar devaluation policies of the past four years.

What a federal ban on overpricing for food and groceries would entail is unclear. But we would assume it would involve lowering sticker prices below the cost of production. Anyone with a basic grasp of arithmetic can see why such a proposal is fraught with problems.

Yet for gullible voters, it is a successful presidential platform.
