Kamala Harris unveiled a string of economic policy proposals.

It looked like something straight out of the old Soviet Union.

And the head of a top investment firm described Kamala Harris with two words that sent Democrats off the rails.

Kamala Harris is in hiding

It’s been more than a month since Vice President Kamala Harris emerged as the Democrat Party’s Presidential nominee.

She still hasn’t held a formal press conference or appeared for a sit-down interview with the media.

Even though she refuses to sit down for an interview, Kamala has been busy on the campaign trail in recent weeks.

On the other hand, former President Donald Trump has taken more than 81 questions from reporters across multiple press conferences he held during the same time frame.

But it’s not just interviews that have been missing from her campaign.

She also offered voters no specific policies or proposals she planned to enact if elected President.

However, that all changed when Kamala delivered a speech in North Carolina.

She unveiled a string of economic proposals that would only press the gas pedal down on President Joe Biden’s failed policies.

“The Harris campaign said that if elected, she would push for the ‘first-ever federal ban’ on food price hikes, with sweeping new powers for federal authorities,” the Washington Post reported, before adding that she “will also announce plans to lower prescription drug and housing costs.”

“Harris’ plans amount to a sharp escalation in the economic populism of even President Joe Biden, who had already pulled the party to the left on economic policy compared with his Democratic predecessors,” the Post added. “While offering some overtures to the business elite, Harris is attempting to respond to intense voter frustration over rising prices — particularly grocery prices — with a far-reaching proposal.”

Harvard economist Jason Furman – the chair of the Council of Economic Advisors under former President Barack Obama –  ripped Kamala for calling for price controls.

“This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality,” Furman said. “There’s no upside here, and there is some downside.” 

Kamala is economically illiterate

But the founder of one of the world’s largest global macro investment firms went one step further in his criticism of Kamala Harris’ economic policy.

Scott Bessent is the founder and CEO of Key Square Group.

And in an interview with Breitbart, he did not mince words when he called Kamala an “economic illiterate.”

“It is clear that she is an economic illiterate,” Bessent said. “She said price ‘gauging,’ not ‘gouging,’ and she’s just reading some talking points.”

“She is beginning hard left and the Washington Post is in a panic because they want her to move to the center rather than show her real character,” Bessent said in reference to the Post’s opposition to Kamala’s price controls.

He pointed out the clear difference between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris when it comes to the economy.

“The Biden-Harris policies ignited the greatest inflation in 40 years, all they did was spend, spend, spend,” Bessent explained.

He added that Kamala and Biden “have wiped out the middle class.”

But during Trump’s Presidency, he said real wages increased for the bottom 50% of Americans.

“The market would be jarred by a Harris victory, especially if the Democrats kept the Senate and won the House,” Bessent warned. “If there’s a Democratic trifecta, watch out.”

If Trump wins, he predicted a “big rally” in the markets.

The economy is a top issue for voters in November.

And the difference between Trump and Kamala is like night and day.
