To the editor:
Liar, liar, pants on fire. My thoughts as I watched Kamala Harris's memorized script during the Sept. 10 three-on-one attack on Donald Trump, masquerading as a debate. The moderators "fact-checked" Trump's answers and were wrong on the Haitian migrant crisis in Springfield, Ohio; late-term abortions and allowing babies aborted alive to die; and increased violent crime.
Harris has no policies and is attached to Joe Biden's failed policies, so she attacked Trump with lies. Harris stated that Trump will: Impose a 20 percent sales tax, implement Project 2025, ban all abortions and IVF, terminate the Constitution, incite a bloodbath, give up on Ukraine, and use race to divide our country. Harris also stated that Trump has no economic plan, is called a disgrace by military leaders, is supported by Putin and had a weak Afghanistan withdrawal deal.
When Harris was asked if we are better off economically now than four years ago, she told a story about her youth as a middle-class person. Harris calls her economic policy an opportunity economy. Harris will give a $6,000 tax break to new parents, a $25,000 tax break to select people buying their first home and a $50,000 tax break to people starting a small business, all funded by our middle-class tax dollars. Add these give-aways to her price-fixing for groceries and these are socialist policies.
"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money" (Margaret Thatcher). Harris claims her values have not changed but she supports the New Green Deal, which stops the use of fossil fuels. Now Harris claims she supports fracking, which extracts fossil fuels. In the past Harris has been in favor of taking our guns away, allowing babies aborted alive to die, defunding the police, soliciting bail money for rioters who burned Minneapolis and supporting transgender care for illegal migrants paid for by tax dollars. Harris failed to stop illegal migration when put in charge of the border. Harris was not asked questions about these actions by the biased moderators, so we have no idea if this is the America that we would have if she was our president.
Harris was interviewed by a journalist in Philadelphia. He asked about her economic plan. Harris repeated her scripted story about her middle-class childhood, but gave no economic plan. How does Harris plan to create an opportunity economy? Harris has no plans that would separate her from Joe Biden. Harris's political ads give no information about her plans, only lies about Trump. Harris claims that Trump will ban all abortions and birth control and monitor all pregnancies. Trump has repeatedly stated each state will make its own abortion laws, by a vote of the people (Constitution, Amendment 10.) Trump has never talked about birth control or pregnancy monitoring, both of which are Harris's preposterous lies. Bernie Sanders admitted that Harris would say anything to win.
