“It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”
Guess the pro-abortion narrative won't work anymore..
“Harris has made a set of policy choices over the last several weeks that make it clear that the Democratic Party is committed to a pro working-family agenda. The days of ‘What’s good for free enterprise is good for America’ are over,” said Felicia Wong, president of Roosevelt Forward, a left-leaning think tank.
The costs of the proposal were not immediately clear. Marc Goldwein, senior vice president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said restoring the original Biden tax credit — which provided $3,000 for most children — would cost roughly $1.1 trillion over 10 years, relative to current policy. Harris’s call for an additional $6,000 credit for newborns would probably cost an additional $100 billion over a decade, Goldwein said.
Harris’s policy push was not without its detractors. Policy experts in the Democratic Party lamented her recent endorsement of Trump’s plan to eliminate taxes on tips, as well as her promises not to raise taxes on Americans earning under $400,000 per year — positions they see as incompatible with Democrats’ ambitions to approve major new expansions of the nation’s safety net. Business leaders who had hoped for a warmer relationship under Harris also balked at being blamed for higher prices in her push against corporate price gouging.
And yet despite these drawbacks, Democrats have become increasingly convinced that embracing populist economics is key to beating Trump — the top priority for the party through November. Concerns about the economy and inflation have ranked as among voters’ top issues in the 2024 presidential election, and polling has consistently showed that attacking corporate price gouging is popular.
