Former Vice President Joe Biden announced that Harris would be his running mate for the 2020 presidential election.

Now that she’s been named as Joe Biden’s running mate for the 2020 presidential election, Sen. Kamala Harris’ stances on a wide range of issues are being scrutinized once again.

Student-loan debt and higher education During her short-lived presidential campaign, Harris joined her competitors Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in releasing a plan aiming to address the $1.5 trillion student-debt problem. The proposal was part of her broader plan to close the black-white gap with regard to jobs in high-paying fields like technology and engineering and entrepreneurship.

For-profit colleges have had a formidable adversary in Harris. She has said that the U.S. should get rid of them, and as California attorney general her office was a $1 billion-plus judgment against the now-defunct Corinthian Colleges after uncovering fraud at the college chain. “ Harris introduced the Rent Relief Act, which would create a refundable tax credit for households who make less than $100,000 a year. ”

Unlike Bernie Sanders, though, Harris did not envision achieving this goal by taxing families making under $100,000. Instead, she planned to pay for “Medicare For All” by taxing Wall Street.

Not a big trader but wasn’t the issue hedge funds borrowing to short 148% of the gme stock available how about we regulate so you can’t borrow more than 100% of stock available or leave things the way they are so the retail traders can keep the hedge funds in check

Wait so lazy people get a free ticket! No thanks KamalaHarris

scottsantens This was just her way to appeal to progressive voters during her presidential campaign. These aren't her true values.

Her plans are terrible. That’s just one of the reasons she stunk it up during the democratic primaries.

Eh... wrong , try harder next time

Of course she would tax trading even more.

Reward dependency and punishment being independent. KamalaHarris doesn't want people doing better. She wants people more dependent on the system. That what gives the Left power.

Amazing what they’ll say to get elected and the idiots who actually believe their B.S.

Is she going to give refunds to the millions who already paid off their student loans ?

Taxing people for risking money and then taxing them again IF they profit is unfair. How about actually enforcing existing SEC rules? Plenty of cheats out there with deep pockets.

Free, free, freee, free, free free everything for everyone.

Here we go. Not a moderate as the press portrays her.

We’re screwed

Jesus Christ - a 3.5% loan. I don't need forgiveness, just let me carry it indefinitely.

In other words, if you want a prosperous economy, don't vote for Kamala. Pretty subtle 😉

Student loans: pay them back. UBI: no way in hell, reduces incentives to work. Medicare: revamp to help our veterans first and those that are disabled before anyone else. Stocks: stop vilification of risk and profits. Move cap gains down to 15%. All this is possible w/o you

KamalaHarris stick to being a moderate. A little too left like Bernie or warren and you won’t get my vote. Start working hard on putting out a believable moderate message. You can’t forgive everyone and win. Someone has to pay.

Media trying to paint her as a moderate 😂 😂 😂

Taxing stock trades hurts every American who owns a mutual fund in their 401k as well. Which, is about everyone in the country. Great job KamalaHarris

I'm curious whether the stock trades include options.

All those freebies sound expensive. If the Dems win, get ready to have your accounts drained.

Taxing stocks and derivatives? There goes my vote

Continue to give shit to those who haven’t worked for it, and penalize those who have. Nice!

Kamala is DISCARDED JUNK: Black democrats already rejected her in the primaries where she barely got 2% of the vote.

What about defund her

Kamala stands for nothing. She says whatever she is told to say on domestic policy. The foreign policy blob, though, is shaping her into a tool that might dislodge India from BRICS and thus disrupt the new silk road.

“Buy” the vote with freebies for all! There is no “free”. Someone always pays.

Say anything, do anything, be anything to get elected. The Kamala way.

Before you get through giving away the farm you will force America into a depression. Don’t you have any creative ideas? Obama didn’t, Biden doesn’t.

We forgiving mortgages too
