Kamala Harris Struggles with Inflation Response
Vice President Kamala Harris lacks economic expertise, making it difficult for her to address the pressing issue of inflation.
Harris’s career has been solely in government, which has shaped her belief in government intervention in the economy. She advocates for heavy regulation and targeted tax breaks.
Furthermore, Harris is reluctant to acknowledge the causes of inflation because it would reflect poorly on the Biden administration. The extended economic shutdown, increased government spending, and reduced energy production under Biden-Harris contributed to inflation.
Despite these factors, Harris proposes increased government spending. This is inconsistent with efforts to reduce inflation, which requires cutting government spending as a percentage of the economy.
Harris’s solution to inflation revolves around blaming the wealthy and targeting corporations for price gouging. However, this approach fails to address the root causes of the issue.
Harris’s government-centric approach and emphasis on equality of outcome raise concerns about her suitability for the presidency, as such policies have historically led to poverty and government dependency.
