Greg Gutfeld Thoroughly Dismantles Kamala’s ‘Communist’ Economic Policies
Fox News host Greg Gutfeld sounded the alarm over Kamala Harris “economically illiterate” policy proposals after the campaign proposed multiple price-fixing and wealth redistribution schemes.
After weeks of dodging a specific policy plan, Harris finally unveiled a number of economic plans earlier this week. The vice president has proposed a crackdown on what the Biden Administration has referred to as “price gouging” in the grocery industry. Experts have warned that such a scheme could lead to food shortages given the thin profit margins under which chains operate.
Harris has also proposed a $25,000 cash infusion for “first generation homebuyers,” and “forgiveness” of medical debt for pro-Harris voter blocs.
During a recent episode of “The Five,” Gutfeld pointed to the fact that former President Donald Trump entered the political arena with deep pockets gained from running a number of successful business and real estate ventures.
“I would rather listen to somebody who began as a millionaire and is now a billionaire than somebody who doesn’t have a damn clue about economics. I’ve never heard a candidate today more unsure of themselves on a topic than Kamala Harris,” he said.I think she’s been burdened by the weight of expectations put on her by the media. I’ve never seen a better campaign ad for Trump. She’s campaigning better for Trump than Trump is.”
The longtime Fox News host went on to address Harris’ policy proposals one at a time.
“First, let’s talk about the down payment issue on the House. A lot of this stuff is infuriating because they’re treating the American public like idiots. She makes a proposal that is only half an equation. The first half is, here’s a nice thing for you. The second half is missing, who pays for it?” Gutfeld asked.
“You saw this with student loan theft, described as forgiveness. Who paid for it? You paid for it. You see with immigration policy, who’s footing the billions and all that free stuff? You’re paying for it. Nothing is free. Nothing is free. And the sooner or later you figure that out, the better off you’re going to be. And that’s directed at Democrats who don’t understand that these policies are going to sink this country.”
Gutfeld, like many conservative leaders and pundits, further compared Harris’ proposals to something seen in the Soviet Union or Venezuela.
“There is no payoff for industries to increase, artificially inflate their prices, because the people who drive the prices are the consumers. That is, if you want to understand supply and demand, it’s the consumers who drive the prices. There is absolutely no debate on this. There is not a single economist who would agree that this is the right thing to do. We can go and talk about Eastern bloc countries, you can look at the cheap terrible cars that they made, in the appliances they made, but you already know that story,” he said.
