**Dangerous Experimentation: Kamala Harris Embraces Policies of the Past**
In a troubling display of ideological allegiance, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has indicated her intention to channel the most alarming aspects of Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration.
Speaking recently at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, Harris extolled the virtues of FDR's "bold, persistent experimentation," but it seems she has conveniently overlooked the disastrous outcomes that such experimentation wrought during the Great Depression.
While she attempts to paint herself as a capitalist, the underlying truth remains: Harris promotes an all-too-familiar narrative of government overreach and manipulation of the economy. Her reliance on "active partnerships" between government and private enterprise suggests a return to the heavy-handed tactics of the New Deal, which historically led to more harm than good.
Critics are right to question Harris' claims. Her career’s acknowledgment of engagement with business owners is marred by a lack of tangible verification—few can attest to her purported achievements, including a short stint at McDonald's that remains uncorroborated.
Harris aims to usher in policies reminiscent of FDR's National Recovery Administration, which sought to control production and fix prices—measures that caused widespread food shortages and economic turmoil. Her proposed federal ban on corporate price gouging, aimed at food companies, raises alarm bells reminiscent of that same government-controlled pricing approach.
In her speech, she unveiled plans for a significant increase in startup deductions and access to low- and no-interest loans for small businesses—initiatives that, on the surface, sound beneficial. Yet, the basis of these loans and the prospect of forgiveness remain suspiciously vague. Without clear standards, such initiatives could easily devolve into politically motivated funding schemes reminiscent of the most politically cozy aspects of past administrations.
Moreover, Harris expresses a desire to cut "red tape" for housing and low-income housing construction, entwining federal assistance with issues of transportation and planning. This rhetoric suggests a convoluted strategy that could exacerbate an already challenging housing crisis, one that has roots in governmental interference.
Her notion of "intergenerational wealth" appears to raise red flags, as it poignantly echoes the divisive sentiments seen in calls for reparations. This only deepens the concern that her administration would be characterized by a preferential treatment scheme tied to race rather than broad-based economic opportunity for all.
Even more worrying is the fact that Harris’s attempts to resurrect the Rooseveltian ethos of wealth redistribution under the guise of empowering the working class might be just a ploy to expand the reach of the federal government at the expense of individual liberties and economic stability.
With a historical backdrop of failure from the era she seeks to emulate, one cannot help but wonder what lies ahead should the Democrats regain the White House with Harris at the helm. Americans would do well to heed the wisdom of history: another Roosevelt-like administration could very well mean another devastating chapter in our nation's economic story.
The implications of her policies extend far beyond mere election cycles; they encompass the very future of American enterprise and freedoms. In an era where the stakes are higher than ever, voters must scrutinize the promises made by those who champion a return to government experimentation over proven free-market principles.
