Kamala Harris economic plan to focus on groceries, housing and healthcare

Them politicians are soo out of touch

Reads headline again

Wait, what the hell? Really? Should I start being optimistic again?

Exactly my pain points!

You mean rather than tax cuts that are supposedly to benefit people too poor to pay taxes?

I was literally talking about housing costs with my wife on our walk back from the grocery store not 30m before stumbling across this post.

First article I’ve seen where her photo wasn’t a big smile. At least since Biden dropped out.

Doesn't need plan for future. Can fix now. Like today.

I mean isn't she the vice president? Why can't she do that shit now?

Among the plans from the Harris campaign is a federal ban on price-gouging in the industries. Most states currently have such bans in place.

O...kay.

Harris will single out meat prices, and in particular the meat-processing industry. Her first 100 days will also see support for small businesses, a “crack down on unfair mergers and acquisitions” among food corporations.

Bird flu and swine flu are two of the biggest pressure points on agricultural supply. Heat and drought are also doing horrible things to cattle stock. Will her support for small businesses address this? Guess we'll have to tune in next week to find out.

Harris no longer supports measures from her short-lived 2020 presidential bid such as a fracking ban or Medicare for All, advisers told Reuters.

Her campaign said it wanted to avoid dividing voters and attracting attacks from business groups over granular details

She will push plans to cut costs of rental housing and home ownership, including funding more affordable housing and building climate resistant communities.

Sounds nice. Wonder what the details will look like.

“She does have a focus on housing because we know and she knows very, very clearly that housing is a crisis in this country,” said Marcia Fudge, a Harris adviser and the former housing and urban development secretary under Biden.
