NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on Friday called out Vice President Kamala Harris for making a mistake in her economic speech, highlighting what he believes is a bigger issue in politics today – the lack of talent. Harris, during her Friday afternoon speech in North Carolina, proposed a federal ban on “price gouging” but accidentally said “gauging” instead. While Cuomo admitted that the mistake may not be a big deal, he used it as an example to criticize Harris and the current state of politics.
“We don’t have great talent in our politics right now. We got to wait for better people to want to get involved in what is such a poison process. But this is who we got,” Cuomo lamented. He also pointed out that Harris’ mistake is just a small part of the bigger problem – the lack of skilled individuals in politics. According to him, the toxic nature of politics has discouraged competent people from getting involved, leaving the American people with mediocre leaders.
CNN anchor Julia Chatterley echoed Cuomo’s sentiments, saying that Harris’ speech lacked details and substance. She questioned the effectiveness of a federal ban on price gouging and pointed out that it would require an act of Congress. Chatterley also mentioned that it would be difficult to determine where and how price gouging is happening, making it almost impossible to enforce such a ban.
Economists have also criticized Harris’ plan, with some arguing that corporate price gouging has little impact on the rising cost of goods. Instead, they point to government stimulus efforts and low interest rates imposed by the Federal Reserve as the main drivers of inflation. Harris’ focus on corporate behavior, according to experts, is misplaced and could potentially harm businesses and the economy.
Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell highlighted the flaws in Harris’ proposal, particularly the vagueness of the term “price gouging.” She also pointed out that the bill, as written, could cause even higher prices due to the requirement for companies to disclose their pricing strategy, which could lead to collusion.
All of these criticisms paint a grim picture of the competence and effectiveness of Harris and her policies. It is clear that she lacks a fundamental understanding of economics and her plans could do more harm than good. This is not surprising considering Harris’ disastrous track record as a senator and her liberal, big government approach to solving problems.
The American people deserve better than leaders who lack talent and rely on empty promises and vague rhetoric. It’s time for competent and capable individuals to step up and lead the country, and it’s clear that Kamala Harris is not one of them. We need leaders who prioritize the American people and the wellbeing of the nation, not those who promote their own agendas and seek to gain political points. The 2024 election will be crucial in securing the future of our country, and it’s up to the American people to choose wisely. Let’s not settle for mediocrity – let’s demand excellence and make America great again.
Except for perhaps a few Cuomo is correct in that we don’t have much talent in politicians anywhere in this country right now and the worst are in lib meccas all over the country.
