Harris slammed for saying most can’t afford a $400 surprise expense: ‘Yeah, that’s called Bidenomics’
Fox News ^ | 7/28/23 | Andrew Mark Miller

Vice President Kamala Harris was blasted on social media over a claim that most Americans would go "bankrupt" from an unexpected $400 expense while she was lamenting how difficult it is for women in America to get abortions.

While speaking at a moderated discussion on "reproductive rights" in Iowa on Friday, Harris spoke at length about how women in Iowa will endure economic hardship traveling to other states for a legal abortion post-Roe v. Wade if a court allows a state abortion bill to take effect.

"If she is a single parent, she's going to have to be able to pay for that childcare," Harris said. "She's going to lose time for work. Maybe she has paid family leave. Maybe she doesn't. Maybe she has paid sick leave. Maybe she doesn't. She will have to be able to pay for a plane, train, bus, gas. Most Americans are a $400 unexpected expense away from bankruptcy."

The quote was immediately criticized by conservatives on social media who suggested that any economic hardship for the average American is a result of President Biden’s policies after more than two years in office.

"Yeah, that’s called Bidenomics and it’s a problem," GOP presidential candidate Sen. Tim Scott responded. "Americans have lost $10,000 in spending power because of the Biden-Harris agenda."

"Thanks to you and your boss," Citizen Free Press tweeted.

Bidenomics may be a good portion of it, but let’s be fair. A *vast* majority in this country don’t have the discipline to budget their finances properly. Gotta have the latest and greatest toy (i.e. smartphones)? Hand over a credit card.

Maybe this hypothetical “she” should keep a dime clasped between her knees ... that’ll save her $399.90

If a person is going to be bankrupted by $400, perhaps that person should go to a free online dictionary and learn the definition of celibacy.

Seriously, she’s claiming that we are bankrupting people because there’s not an abortion clinic around every corner next to the McDonald’s.

You could never fault the Democrats for lack of chutzpah and sheer unmitigated gall.

I would like to point out that there are a number of people, myself included, who believe the banking system is in an unsafe state. Couple that with the legal fiction that “deposits” are really loans to the bank, which can be requested on demand (checking accounts) or according to a schedule (savings accounts, certificates of deposit).

Even with the new rules about cash withdrawals, one can still call those loans and get back Federal Reserve Notes little by little, which can then be converted into real money.
