Just two days before the big debate, Kamala Harris finally posted some policies on her campaign site. It took only a few minutes for JD Vance to take to X and slice through them with a fine-tooth comb—a public service if there ever was one.
Vance pointed out that while Harris promises tax cuts for middle-class families, she forgot to mention the swarm of IRS audits coming their way. Remember, this is the same Kamala Harris who cast the tie-breaking vote to bring in 87,000 IRS agents, and, shockingly, 63% of the new audits targeted those earning under $200,000. Not exactly ‘middle-class-friendly,’ right? And let’s not overlook the $600 reporting requirement from payment platforms. Before Harris and her team’s intervention, it was a much higher $20,000. Talk about squeezing every last penny!
Harris’ Tax Proposal: A Comedy of Errors
Harris’ tax proposal, dressed up in shiny rhetoric, actually aims to increase taxes by $5 trillion. This will pile on top of her sky-high climate spending, dragging our economy down. Experts estimate her tax plan will shrink the GDP by 1.6%, cut wages by 1.1%, and obliterate 666,000 full-time jobs. You heard that right—nearly a million jobs lost to fund her green fantasy.
The Harris Tax Plan: By the Numbers
- Tax increase: $5 trillion
- GDP shrinkage: 1.6%
- Wage reduction: 1.1%
- Jobs lost: 666,000
The Great Housing Fiasco
Then there’s housing. Harris wants to give first-time homebuyers a $25,000 check for their down payment. Great news, right? Not so fast. What do you think happens when sellers know that buyers have a spare $25,000 in their pockets? You got it! home prices will inflate by at least that $25,000, making her plan moot. And how will our debt-burdened government fund this generosity? She doesn’t say. Plus, she hasn’t clarified if this will be limited to citizens. Just imagine the chaos.
Harris also wants to build 3 million more rental units, a noble goal if she hadn’t already strangled the housing construction sector with red tape. Her team at HUD imposed green energy standards and unnecessary cosmetic updates to public housing, making it almost impossible to expand rental inventories. She seems blissfully unaware that her policies also fuel housing demand, driving rental costs through the roof. Bravo, Kamala!
Small Business Nightmare
Now onto small business—another Harris contradiction. She claims she’ll cut red tape, but under her watch, the SEC rolled out 47 new rules, most not required by Congress, and the Treasury added compliance burdens squarely on small businesses. This is the same administration that used the Corporate Transparency Act to choke entrepreneurs in bureaucracy. Cutting red tape? Try wrapping it tighter.
It’s as if Harris thinks small businesses are just oversized piggy banks waiting to be cracked open by the government. Sorry, Kamala, but Main Street isn’t your personal ATM!
Education Woes: Throwing Good Money After Bad
When it comes to education, Harris’ bright idea is to throw more money at failing institutions and forgive more student loans, which only pushes tuition higher. The reality? Fewer than one in five students smoothly transitions from high school to a career in their field. Doubling down on a broken system doesn’t solve the problem, Kamala—it exacerbates it.
It’s like trying to fix a leaky boat by drilling more holes in it. Genius move, Kamala!
Childcare Confusion
Harris’ childcare policy is equally disingenuous. Her ‘Build Back Better’ childcare plan was so extreme that not even a Democrat-controlled Congress would pass it. And it outright ignores the needs of families preferring faith-based providers, which wouldn’t get a dime from Harris’ plan. She seems to think every parent wants to send their child to a government-approved center, forgetting many prefer home care or help from relatives.
How about a one-size-fits-all jumpsuit for America’s children. Spoiler alert: It doesn’t fit anyone!
Energy Crisis: Making America Poor Again
On energy and climate, Harris is all about making life costlier. Since 2019, electricity prices have surged over 28.5%, burdening Americans with nearly $300 a month utility bills. Why? Because Harris’ policies shut down reliable coal plants and stalled new gas plants, all while pushing unreliable solar and wind energy. And those EV charging stations from the ‘Inflation Reduction Act’? A measly eight built in two years. Who would vote for this nonsense?
Harris’ Energy Policy Results
- Electricity price increase: 28.5%
- Average monthly utility bill: Nearly $300
- EV charging stations built in 2 years: 8
Border Chaos: Welcome to Kamalapalooza
Kamalapalooza continues with her border policies. She boasts about a bipartisan border security bill but conveniently omits the parts about catch-and-release and executive parole expansions. This year’s ‘Murphy’s Border Act’ would allow 1.8 million illegals before even thinking about closing the border. As border czar, Kamala oversees the administration that halted wall construction and dismantled Trump’s Remain in Mexico policy. Illegal crossings exploded and only dropped when public outcry became unmanageable.
Harris’ promises to give 8.5 million illegal aliens a ‘pathway to citizenship’ sound great… to the illegal immigrants. To American workers, it’s the sound of jobs disappearing and wages plummeting. This folks, is not leadership.
Conclusion: The Harris Comedy Hour
Kamala Harris tirelessly trumpets her ‘achievements,’ but when digging deeper, it’s clear they’re either unworkable, economically suicidal, or outright dangerous. So, let’s keep the popcorn ready for the debate. Trump has a lot of material to work with. As Senator Rick Scott said all you have to do is let her talk.
In the grand circus of American politics, Kamala Harris has certainly secured her spot as the lead clown. Her policies read like a ‘How-To’ guide for tanking an economy, opening borders, and generally making life harder for everyday Americans. It’s almost impressive how she manages to be so consistently wrong on every issue.
Meanwhile, Republicans continue to fight for common-sense policies that actually benefit American citizens. From Trump’s successful border policies to Republican-led states’ booming economies, the contrast couldn’t be clearer. As we gear up for the debates, one thing’s for sure: Kamala Harris has given us all a masterclass in what not to do in government. Let’s hope America’s paying attention!
