Kamala Harris is laying out her economic agenda should she win the election come November with a wide-ranging set of priorities spanning from affordable housing to family planning and tackling prescription drug costs.
The Democratic presidential nominee is calling for $6,000 for newborns and expanded Child Tax Credits, $25,000 down payments for some first-time homebuyers, relief from medical debt and other measures for her first 100 days in office.
It is the first time the vice president is outlining her own priorities and setting herself apart from the Biden administration since President Biden's exit from the presidential race last month.

Kamela Harris shouts, 'Free Money!'.
It's exactly like walking into a bar and shouting 'Drinks are on me!'.
Will there be price caps on housing prices and healthcare?
Who really gets all of the free money?
KashKow Kamela wants the moocher vote.
She knows human nature.
Federal debt at 35 trillion. Total debt at 101 trillion.
What is the price tag for all this?
This will not end well.

FTA: 'It is the first time the vice president is outlining her own priorities and setting herself apart from the Biden administration since President Biden's exit from the presidential race last month. '
As if she's ever had an original thought in her life.

Has she learned nothing from history? Shaking the money tree. Just turn everything you make over to FKH and she will see that the right people get it. Wasn't it Slick Willie who said we didn't spend it correctly? And when she doesn't have enough to pass out she will just crank up the Monopoly Money Machine in the basement of the WH. Like Oprah, Some for You! and Some for You! and Some for You! Have you ever seen inflation at 75%? Well you are about to. We are TRILLIONS $ in debt. The interest we pay on the debt is eating up everything. Do you really want to pay $100 for a loaf of bread? We need every reasonable economist out there screaming from the rooftops that this is INSANE!

She forgot to mention this is for illegals only. No one else will qualify for the give away. Not even blacks. Those little babies have to be aborted.

If all the Kamila Harris “buy your vote” cash payouts come into the social picture, all the Third World would be showing up at America’s borders to be waved into the country regardless of the immigration laws to have babies and collect as many thousands of your tax dollars as possible to get started in America, all they will have to do is follow instructions of leftist and progressive Democrat voter registrars and they will be home free.

If Dems really wanted to help Americans, they would have made sure they met the housing needs of our own citizens, BEFORE they invited masses of fake asylum seekers to come in, put out their hands, and TAKE what middle class Americans have worked so hard to earn. How many times must grown men and women learn that when a corrupt government "spreads the wealth around" it eventually runs out of other peoples' money?
Donald Trump has never had a problem putting Americans First. It's hard to remember the last time Democrats stood up for us at all. Now here comes Kamala, promising people with no right to be on our soil down payments for housing and money for every new baby they can produce. This is no way to run a country. At least if you want that country to survive, and its own citizens to prosper.

The $6,000 for newborns is an obvious incentive for out of wedlock births among the underclass and for pregnant illegals to cross the border and collect $6,000.

OK Trump Campaign. Please! Publish an accurate estimate of what this will cost each American citizen who is an actual taxpayer. Include a corresponding figure for how much each non-citizen, non taxpayer takes from them. Helpful hint: don't let illegals vote.

From Kipling's "Gods of the Copybook Headings:
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Unless Kamala "knees up" Harris is paying for all of this from her own bank account, then she is not giving anything to anyone.
The taxpayers are. And pretty soon, the taxpayers are going to realize they might as well quit and join the welfare plantation too...

When asked questions about how she will fund her new giveaway programs, the answer will be something like this: We will take appropriate billions in forgiven student loan funds and repurpose that money to the new $6000 per newborn child savings plan and the $25,000 first time homebuyers program. The money from the forgiven student loans will result in a savings to the government by funding the programs with forgiven money, so it will cost us nothing since the loans have been forgiven! Typical Kamala/Liberal Democrat thinking.

Kamala finally spoke.
Marxist nonsense came flowing out.
Even CNN says this is pandering for votes.
Trump can call Biden and tell him to make sure all his stuff is out of Air Force One, come next January.

Funny, I thought she was for killing babies. Does having an abortion qualify for the $6K?
