We'll tell you any shit you want to hear.
What policies did Harris propose?
The vice president and her campaign floated more than a dozen economic policies Friday. They include:
Combating “price gouging” on groceries and food by authorizing the Federal Trade Commission to impose large fines on grocery stores that impose “excessive” price hikes on customers.
Eliminating medical debt for millions of Americans, possibly by using federal funds to buy and forgive outstanding debt from health providers.
Capping the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35 per month for all Americans.
Limiting Americans’ annual out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs to $2,000.
Providing up to $25,000 in down payment support for more than 1 million first-time home buyers.
Calling for the construction of 3 million new housing units over the next four years.
Expanding an existing tax incentive for developers who build affordable rental housing.
Removing tax benefits for Wall Street investors who bulk buy single-family rental homes.
Preventing corporate landlords from using algorithmic price-setting tools to increase rents by large margins.
Passing a child tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life.
Expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit for lower-wage workers by up to $1,500.
Notice that every one of Harris’s proposals is designed to cut the cost of living — whether in terms of food, medicine, housing or child care. And nearly all of her plans are “populist” as well, involving government intervention against corporate interests on behalf of consumers.
“I know that most businesses are playing by the rules and creating jobs,” Harris said Friday. “But some are not, and we need to take action when that is the case.”
