While on a bus tour in Pennsylvania on Sunday, Kamala Harris was asked by a reporter how she intends to pay for all the freebies included in her radical economic agenda.
Harris gave a rambling one-minute response, and never did explain how she actually intended to pay for it, but kept touting a “return on investment.”
“Sure, well I mean, you just look at it in terms of what we are talking about, for example, around children and the Child Tax Credit and extending the EITCV (Earned Income Tax Credit),” Harris began. “That is at $6,000, for the first year of a child’s life, the return on that investment, in terms of what that will do and what it will pay for, will be tremendous. We’ve seen it when we did it in the first year of our administration, reduced child poverty by over 50 percent.”
“So that’s a lot of the work. And then what we’re doing in terms of the tax credits, we know that there’s a great return on investment. When we increase home ownership in America, what that means in terms of increasing the tax base, not to mention your property tax base, and what that does to fund schools. Again, return on investment,” she continued.
Still rambling, Harris added, “I think it’s a mistake for any person who talks about public policy to not critically evaluate how you measure the return on investment when you were strengthening neighborhoods, strengthening communities, and in particular the economy of those communities and investing in a broad-based economy, everybody benefits and it pays for itself in that way.”
Kamala Harris says “it’s a mistake” to ask how she plans to pay for the few economic proposals she has outlined in her campaign.

On Monday, during a speech at Precision Custom Components in York, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump responded, saying, “Kamala wants to spend $1.7 trillion in wasteful spending, causing more inflation – and she says it’s a ‘mistake’ to ask her how she’s going to pay for it.”
Mocking Harris’s rambling answer to the reporter, Trump added, “She just said something that nobody has any idea what she said. But, she said it’s a mistake to ask how we’re paying for it. Kamala Harris can’t answer how she’d pay for any of her new radicalized, liberal, spending schemes, that will bankrupt our country and do it quickly, destroy Social Security, destroy Medicare.”
“She has no clue how she’d pay for $25,000 to every first-time home buyer, including illegals…. No clue how she’d pay for free healthcare for illegals….. No clue how she’d pay for giving Social Security and Medicare to illegals. No clue how she’d pay for BILLIONS in Student Loan Giveaways. No clue how she’d pay for the $100 trillion dollar Green New Scam. And no clue how she’d pay for hundreds of billions of dollars in new Foreign Aid giveaways,” Trump continued.
