It’s been a month since the Democratic Party’s apparatchiks unceremoniously shoved Joe Biden aside and rocketed Vice President Kamala Harris into the 2024 presidential ticket spotlight. What ought to be a significant discussion about America’s forthcoming steps has seemingly devolved into a trivial popularity battle. The switch seems to function well in their favor. The Democrat members, caught up in a sudden fever of excitement over the salvation from a sinking Biden, have been relentlessly pouring their optimism and finances into Harris’s campaign.
Donald Trump’s previously unparalleled lead now seems to have vanished into thin air. Slides smoothly into the lead, Harris appears immune to the subtle anxiety pervading among the sophisticated Democratic political agents over her glaringly hollow campaign. An increasing urge to display readiness to address the urgent concerns facing our nation is mounting pressure on her team.
Succumbing to this pressure, Harris, the fresh face in the presidential race, recently unveiled her plan to tackle rampant inflation in food and housing prices, showing an utter contempt for America’s middle classes – the Democrats’ main voter base. Without a doubt, the presentation of this plan was a daring attempt by Harris’s team, serving as a preview into how a Harris administration would handle our most daunting issues.
The plan, pompously coined as the ‘Opportunity Economy,’ is aimed at conveying an illusory departure from Bidenomics, which is widely criticized. It contains three key elements: a pretense of significantly decreasing food prices through a government clampdown on price manipulation by food suppliers; colossal government financial aid for home buyers; and an escalated increase in tax benefits to balance the costs of child-care.
The reactions to Harris’s plan, as expected, have been divided along party lines. However, in my perspective, Kamala Harris either lacks a basic grasp of fundamental economic principles or is simply trying to mislead the public. It’s tempting but misplaced to blame all serious issues on something other than one’s own actions.
Harris’s assertion that food inflation is the result of price gouging by some corporate sharks is total balderdash. It appears that Harris is a fervent disciple of the far-left conviction that it is the government’s function to seize control and suppress the natural, healthy economic forces. She seemingly has an unshakeable tendency to toss hard-earned public money at any given issue without a second thought.
Examining Harris’s ‘Opportunity Economy’ desires, one cannot help but be cynical. It is unlikely to make a significant impact on food or housing costs. The only certainty is the addition of a vast army of faceless bureaucrats to the public payroll and the expenditure of astronomical amounts of capital that we as a nation simply do not possess. This could potentially offer slim relief to a handful, cruelly at the expense of the majority.
Whether Harris’s sudden dive into the deep waters of economic policy will boost or diminish her election prospects is a question that remains unanswered. But it’s clear that she has given the voting public a dubious gift. We’re now seeing the true Kamala Harris; a figure who instead of inspiring confidence, only sparks concern.
The unveiled policy simply serves to confirm suspicions that Harris and the Democratic Party are banking on a tactical switch in their leadership structure to distract from the glaring lack of solutions for America’s pressing problems. The leadership shuffle, rather than substantive policy change, seems to have become their only battlefront.
Neo-socialist ideologies appear to lie at the foundation of Harris’s economic plan. This risky approach threatens the health of the nation, promoting systemic dependency, compliance, and lack of individual autonomy while mocking the basic tenets of capitalism.
Harris’s bloated bureaucracy and her lack of serious policy direction are issues that America can ill afford in its current precarious economic situation. Such recklessly irresponsible behavior should not be encouraged or rewarded at the polls.
To voters, this ought to serve as a wake-up call. The ploy to distract from a lack of effective policy with big promises and ambitious plans, packaged as a false ‘Opportunity Economy,’ should be seen for what it truly is: an insubstantial and economically dangerous sham.
If we are to preserve the prosperity and freedom that our nation upholds, it is vital that we take note of these revelations about Kamala Harris. Astute examination, instead of blind faith, is what will determine the course of our vote.
