Part I

Welcome to the Harris-Biden administration—no, that’s not a typo. If you’ve been wondering who’s really been steering the ship for the past four years, you’re not alone. They called it Bidenomics, but maybe it should’ve been dubbed Kamalanomics because what was supposed to be “Build Back Better” somehow became “Burn Down Faster.” It’s like they started a home renovation project and ended up with a house that’s missing the roof and has a pool in the basement. But don’t worry, they’re here to tell us that everything is just fine, folks! Yes, we’re all better off now—if by "better off" you mean having a fridge that's empty and a wallet lighter than a helium balloon.


According to the Harris-Biden team, their plan has worked perfectly. They’ve managed to spend money like a sailor on shore leave, and what do we have to show for it? Skyrocketing inflation, a cost of living that’s outpaced our paychecks, and an economy that feels like it's been slapped with a “kick me” sign. But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good story? The media sure doesn’t. Instead of owning up to the mess, the Democrats first blamed Trump for everything short of bad weather. When that excuse wore thin, they dusted off their old reliable handbook and brought back the bait-and-switch strategy. It’s a trick as old as politics itself, and the Democrats have perfected it like a pickpocket who steals your wallet—only to hand you back the receipt for what he has stolen.


But let’s take a moment to be brutally honest. What really caused this economic debacle? Before the dynamic duo took office, inflation was as tame as a house cat, gas was cheap enough to fill your tank without taking out a second mortgage, and people could afford to buy homes without having to sell a kidney. Fast forward to today, and the cost of living has ballooned faster than Kamala’s collection of word salads. And now, just to add a cherry on top of this economic sundae, Kamala wants us to vote for her so she can fix the problems she helped create. It’s like hiring the fox to guard the henhouse because he promises to only eat half the chickens this time.


Let’s talk inflation, shall we? The Harris-Biden economy is like a bad movie sequel—nobody asked for it, and it’s somehow worse than the original. And who’s the star of this horror show? None other than Kamala Harris, the Border Czar who managed to secure our borders about as well as using an umbrella during a hurricane. Remember her number one job? It was to keep the border secure. Instead, she rolled out the welcome mat, and now, at least 15 million illegal immigrants have strolled into the country like they’re checking into a five-star resort. The economic impact? Well, let’s just say it’s the equivalent of handing out free room and board to everyone in West Virginia, Hawaii, New Hampshire, Maine, Montana, Rhode Island, Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, DC, Vermont, and Wyoming combined. And when you have more people than houses and more mouths than groceries, guess what? Prices go up, inventories disappear, and suddenly, that “Build Back Better” slogan starts to feel like a cruel joke.


Now, let’s sprinkle in some good old-fashioned money creation needed to cover the record spending from Harris & Biden. For example, the Ukraine war is burning through taxpayer dollars like kindling, but that’s nothing compared to the cost of supporting this influx of new our new “guests.” It’s like trying to fill a sinking ship with a leaky bucket—an exercise in futility that only makes the problem bigger. The spending has gotten out of control. According to CBO’s most recent long-term projections, interest payments on the our national debt would total around $78 trillion over the next 30 years and would take up 34 percent of all federal revenues by 2054. Interest costs would also become the largest “program” over the next few decades.


But don't worry, we can just print more money, which is like adding water to soup—you end up with more, but it’s less satisfying. When the government prints more money, it increases the amount of cash circulating in the economy, but this can reduce the value of each dollar. As a result, prices rise, and the dollar doesn’t stretch as far as it used to. What feels like an increase in wealth is actually just spreading the same amount of value more thinly, leading to higher costs and inflation.


The worst part? Kamala seems blissfully unaware that her open-border policies and spending habits are fueling the very inflation she claims to be fighting. It’s a self-inflicted wound that makes you wonder if anyone in the administration has ever taken an Economics 101 class—or if they all just skipped straight to Advanced Finger Pointing.


So, what's next for this dynamic duo? How about more spending, more border chaos, and a few extra zeros on that national debt? But don’t worry, there’s always Part II of this economic thriller, where we dive deeper into Kamala’s plans to save us all—one disastrous policy at a time.
