Harris Unveils Economic Plan to Tackle Price Gouging and Ease Cost of Living
Vice President Kamala Harris has unveiled a comprehensive economic plan aimed at reducing costs and increasing economic security for American families. The plan includes proposals such as tax cuts for the middle class, expansion of the child tax credit, and a federal ban on price-gouging in food. Harris also plans to provide $25,000 in down payment help for certain first-time homebuyers and tax incentives for builders of starter homes. Additionally, she has called for the construction of three million new homes and has proposed measures to alleviate financial stress on families, such as tax cuts for those with children. However, the Trump campaign has criticized Harris's plan, comparing it to price controls in Soviet and Venezuelan economies. Harris's plan is built on ideas from the Biden administration and would require action from Congress to implement.
I thank God that in the last three months that I am president of the United States I was able to finally get done what I tried to get done when I was a young senator.
I have no problem with companies making money, but not with price gouging.
He plans to give billionaires massive tax cuts year after year, and he plans to cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars, even as they pull in record profits.
Your salary should be enough to provide you and your family with a good quality of life … such as, no child should have to grow up in poverty. Such as, after years of hard work, you should be able to retire with dignity, and you should be able to join a union if you choose.
Together, we will build what I call an opportunity economy … an economy where everyone can compete and have a real chance to succeed.
Our supply chains have now improved, and prices are still too high.
I will be laser-focused on creating opportunities for the middle class.
Economists have done the math. Donald Trump's plan would cost a typical family US$3,900 a year. At this moment when everyday prices are too high, he will make them even higher.
In terms of economics and trade and investment policy, I think [there's] almost no difference.
Where has she been and why hasn't she done it?
Her policies rival some of the most socialist and authoritarian models from world history.Instead of unleashing American energy and reducing the burden on our people, she would impose price controls that are something out of Venezuela or Cuba.
