Has Kamala Learned Nothing about Inflation?

&NewLine;<p>Kamala Harris&&num;8217&semi;s economic plan has faced widespread criticism&comma; with many deeming it impractical and misguided&period; We will boil it down into two primary points&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>First&comma; she plans to spend money in large&comma; large chunks&period; On her watch&comma; the Biden Administration did this before with the &&num;8220&semi;Inflation Reduction Act&&num;8221&semi; which expanded our money supply resulting in massive inflation over several years&period; She speaks boldly about higher prices and inflation &&num;8211&semi; as if she had nothing to do with it&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Does Kamala Harris not have ANY economist who can explain how inflation is generated from over spending&quest; She has been there for three and a half years&comma; was supposedly the &&num;8220&semi;last person in the room&&num;8221&semi; &lpar;likely utter BS&rpar;&comma; and she can&&num;8217&semi;t see cause and effect of the Biden policies&quest;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Second&comma; these socialist in nature&period; Price controls are a socialist nightmare and ALWAYS result in inflation &lpar;1&period; price control &&num;8211&semi; 2&period; shortages &&num;8211&semi; 3&period; black market &&num;8211&semi; 4&period; collapse of legit market&rpar;&period; The other points involve more control and influence by the government&period; I&period;e&period; socialist&period; But like every socialist who is told that socialism has failed EACH and EVERY time&comma; Kamala is boldly declaring that her plan is different &lpar;like every other socialist has done &&num;8211&semi; just before they fail miserably&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Bonus Stupidity&colon; She will be paying for this by increasing corporate taxes from 21&percnt; &lpar;Trump&&num;8217&semi;s level&rpar; to 28&percnt;&period; OMG&excl; As our friend Larry Horist will tell you&comma; corporations do not pay taxes&period; They simply adjust their prices to provide a profit level and pass on the extra costs directly to the consumer&period; THIS IS DIRECTLY INFLATIONARY&period; Not to mention that the decreased competitiveness will cost jobs in the U&period;S&period; in favor of foreign imports that do not have such a heavy burden&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Note that Kamala Harris has no history of running any kind of organization&comma; she was not a governor&comma; she has never run a company&comma; she only played second fiddle to Biden as Vice president&comma; no direct responsibility nor accountability&period; Our prediction is that if she wins&comma; her plans will not have support&period; If she passes any part of her plan&comma; they will be poorly targeted and will have unintended consequences that will hurt the country more than they help&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The following is a partial summary&comma; with our commentary in parentheses&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<ul class&equals;"wp-block-list">&NewLine;<li>Price Controls&colon; Introduce federal price controls&comma; particularly on food items&comma; to combat what is perceived as corporate price gouging &lpar;yes&comma; the socialist nightmare&comma; shortages&comma; inflation&comma; with every consequence except the actual limit of prices&rpar;&period;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>Minimum Wage Increase&colon; Propose raising the federal minimum wage to improve income for low-wage workers &lpar;inflationary&comma; will increase unemployment&comma; slow productivity&comma; and help no one&rpar;&period;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>Child Tax Credit Expansion&colon; Expand the Child Tax Credit to provide a &dollar;6&comma;000 tax cut for families with newborns and restore the expanded child tax credit up to &dollar;3&comma;600 per child &lpar;if we had a working economy with low inflation&comma; we would not need this…&rpar;&period;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>Earned Income Tax Credit Expansion&colon; Extend the Earned Income Tax Credit to cover lower-income workers without children &lpar;let&&num;8217&semi;s discourage competition&comma; increase the de facto welfare&rpar;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>First-Time Homebuyer Assistance&colon; Provide &dollar;25&comma;000 in down-payment assistance and offer tax incentives for first-time homebuyers&period; &lpar;Spend&comma; cause inflation&period; This will cause all housing prices to immediately jump by &dollar;25000 &&num;8211&semi; that is the net effect&rpar;&period;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>No Tax on Tips&colon; Propose eliminating taxes on tips&comma; a measure aimed at supporting workers in the service industry&period; &lpar;Stolen from Trump&rpar;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>Federal Ban on Price Gouging&colon; Implement the first-ever federal ban on price gouging&comma; particularly for essential items like food&period; &lpar;This is a red herring&comma; price gouging is such a small part of the problem that it is not noticeable&period; Inflation is real and is the primary problem&period;&rpar;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>Support for an &OpenCurlyQuote;Opportunity Economy’&colon; Create an economy where everyone has the chance to succeed&comma; with a focus on fairness and equal opportunity&period; &lpar;Everybody&&num;8217&semi;s doing this&comma; Trump did it better than Biden&period;&rpar;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>Strengthening Worker Protections&colon; Enhance protections for workers&comma; particularly those in lower-wage jobs&comma; to ensure fair treatment and compensation&period; &lpar;Worthless platitude&comma; leads to socialist support systems&period;&rpar;<&sol;li>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<li>Incentivizing Family Growth&colon; Encourage larger families through expanded child tax credits and financial support&comma; aligning with populist policies that aim to support family growth&period; &lpar;Spend money&comma; spend money&comma; she will find a way for this to fail while increasing inflation and hurting the families she wants to help&period;&rpar;<&sol;li>&NewLine;<&sol;ul>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>These all sound nice if you don&&num;8217&semi;t realize how tragically misguided they are&comma; the best case scenario is if she is not able to do any of it &lpar;or rather that Trump is elected&rpar;&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>A final note&comma; let&&num;8217&semi;s not forget&comma; she is still in office&period; If she thinks these ideas are so great&comma; why doesn&&num;8217&semi;t she go back to her office and implement them&quest; In fact&comma; why are they not already implemented&quest; &lpar;hint&colon; even if she could convince people&comma; this stupid wench doesn&&num;8217&semi;t know how&period;&rpar;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
