FEE: The New York Times called Harris a ‘pragmatic moderate.’ But does that label fit with the actual economic policies she has endorsed?
When presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced this week his choice of Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, mainstream media covered her selection with fanfare. For example, the New York Times dubbed the California progressive a “pragmatic moderate,” and both the Associated Press and Los Angeles Times described Harris as “centrist.”
But is this narrative accurate?
Given that Harris may become vice president under Biden, who would be the oldest president ever on Day One of his term, it’s important to look past media spin and accurately assess her policy agenda. With that in mind, here are five economic policies Harris openly supports and would likely push if she became president.
1. Massive Welfare-for-All COVID-19 Response Plan
Not content with the record-breaking $3.7 trillion deficit the federal government is currently set to rack up this year, Harris wants to spend $5.5 trillion more over a decade—$500 billion per year—on a new proposal.
Harris’s latest bill would send most Americans monthly $2,000 checks, regardless of COVID-19-related need or circumstance, for the duration of the coronavirus crisis. It’s entirely unclear how this crisis period is defined, and it could easily last for years or become permanent.
This is essentially a “Universal Basic Income” plan that forces taxpayers to finance a minimum income of roughly $24,000 for tens of millions of people. Is it “pragmatic” or “moderate” to put the government in charge of Americans’ livelihoods and incomes? Is it “centrist” to seize trillions of dollars taxpayers in the process?
2. Imminent Transition to Socialist Healthcare
During the Democratic presidential primary, Harris endorsed “Medicare for All,” which is basically socialized healthcare, and openly backed abolishing all private health insurance. However, she later walked back that proposal in the face of widespread criticism. Yet Harris still wants the federal government to seize control of Americans’ healthcare and transition to a mostly socialist system in short order. MORE HERE
Every time she’s holding a mic it looks like she’s …never mind.
According to Newsweek (yes, Newsweek!) she is left of Bernie and every other senator on her Senate votes.
According to 0bama’s speechwriter, people calling her moderate made him laugh:

NPR is fully invested in a “fluff and buff” of this twats qualifications and credentials. I can usually listen to their political pieces to see exactly how polished their propaganda is on what ever issue.
The Harris piece brought me to dry heaves. CNN, MSNBC, ABC and CBS are practitioners of the ugly in your face partisan bias but I’ve come to expect and see quite more sophisticated spin from NPR.
Not today. I guess they are just giddy with a non-white vagina as VP candidate they couldn’t help themselves. I could hear the erection of the ostensibly male “journalist” extolling her virtues.
NPR political coverage could be, and should, used as course material in critical listening and thinking. Goebbels never aspired to the sophistication these people achieve ever single day. He employed regular people to disseminate his message. NPR employs true believers.

Talk about empowering woman
Pragmatic? Yes, she knew that she only way someone with her knowledge and skills would have to sleep her way to the top
Moderate? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Wait. You were serious? In that case NO
Dang, my apologies for the typos in my reply. Should read “she knew the only way someone with her knowledge and skills to be successful would be to sleep her way to the top”
@RogerF — Not to worry. We all make tpyos proofread poorly and no occasion.
She’s a schmuck. That’s all she is.
Her voting record is to the left of Commie Bernie.
As always, they lie as easy as they breathe as their
master of deception and evil taught them well.
No.
She is a power hungry cock gobbler.
Her motto: “Drill, baby, drill!”
And she ain’t talking about oil.
Isn’t pragmatic moderate an oxymoron? With more of an emphasis on moron.
Her pragmatism got her aboard Dementia Joe’s farcical excuse for a presidential campaign. The MSDM is proclaiming her to be a moderate. Every Dementiacrat voter knows that she isn’t a pragmatic moderate, and that’s why they like Kalamity Harris. These lies are being served up for the voters who are too stupid to recognize what voting for this Leftist Lunatic will do to this country. Only 80 days left to educate the uneducable.
Compared to her guvner (Newscum)? Maybe.
They’re ALL nuckin’ FUTS out there. 🙄
