CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 19, 2024
VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS REVEALED LAST FRIDAY HER AGGRESSIVELY POPULIST ECONOMIC AGENDA. SHE’S EXPECTED TO ELABORATE ON IT AT THIS WEEK’S DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION IN CHICAGO.
AS USUAL WITH THE LEFT, IT CALLS FOR MORE SPENDING ON PROGRAMS SO AS TO ADDICT MORE PEOPLE TO GOVERNMENT. POLITICS HAS BECOME A FORM OF BRIBERY WITH EACH PARTY TELLING US WHAT THEY WILL DO FOR US IF ELECTED. THE DEBT GROWS AND NOTHING IS CUT FOR FEAR OF OFFENDING A CONSTITUENCY WHOSE VOTES THEY NEED.
IN HER NORTH CAROLINA SPEECH, HARRIS ANNOUNCED SUPPORT FOR MORE THAN A DOZEN ECONOMIC POLICIES AIMED AT “LOWERING COSTS FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES.” APPARENTLY HARRIS HAS YET TO REALIZE THAT MORE GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND GROWING DEBT CAUSES INFLATION AND INFLATION LEADS TO HIGHER PRICES WHICH WE HAVE EXPERIENCED DURING HER AND BIDEN’S YEARS IN OFFICE.
DOES ANYONE SERIOUSLY BELIEVE SHE WROTE THAT SPEECH, OR THE ONE COMING THIS WEEK? SHE WILL READ IT FROM A TELEPROMPTER.
EVIL CORPORATIONS, THE POOR, LOWERING DRUG PRICES (WHERE HAVE WE HEARD THAT BEFORE?) A BAN ON SO-CALLED “PRICE GOUGING” FOR GROCERIES, ETC ETC.
THESE ARE THE USUAL TALKING POINTS FOR DEMOCRATS BUT WHEN THEY GAIN POWER NOTHING CHANGES AND NOTHING GETS SOLVED. KEEP THAT IN MIND THIS WEEK AND UNTIL THE ELECTION. I’M CAL THOMAS.
