You could get $6,000 a year under this California senator’s new plan

Gee, I wonder where that money comes from??

One of our biggest problems as a society is ignorance (that is not a problem here!). Many will see this Harris' ploy as a good thing with no regard for the consequences. If all of society were truly informed on economics, civics, etc, politicians like Harris, Sanders, Pelosi, et al would be laughed out of Congress when they put forth absurd ideas such as this one.

    This woman! I cringe every time I see her face.

    She is worse than Pelosi which is very difficult to do. I watched a few videos of her interviewing (or rather interrogating) GOP officials, such as Pompeo. Harris wanted to know what he will do to make sure that LBGT "rules" would be honored in his department. Pompeo emphasized that the main idea is the country's security, which Harris ignored off hand, pressing on with her vicious agenda.

    I find it difficult to believe that the country - at least normal people - can't see through the totally unhinged direction the left is heading to.

    Then there was her appearance on the DeGeneres show where she was asked what would she do if she was locked in an elevator with Trump and Pence? Kamala asked: Should we all come out alive? Which was applauded by DeGeneres as both were convulsing with laughter.

    Is this person a Senator? I know California should be written off as part of the country, but there are sane people there, too, even though they are persecuted and vilified at every turn of their lives.

    What a tragedy for the country!

      "Should we all come out alive?"
      Somehow I think Trump could handle anything she could do.
      But, that's the socialist world. They want everyone to believe in results that are completely inconsistent with reality.

      I cringe when I see her, and also when I hear her "nasally" voice. But the ultimate cringe is when I think of her broken ideology, and how she continues to promote it despite hundreds of years of its trial that has only resulted in pain, suffering, and death of those it was foisted upon.

    Sorry but her and booker disgust me, as the latest crop of whining advantage taking blacks who want to crawl up the ladder to the top of the cesspool where the real feeding can begin. Booker broke the senate rules and should be expelled, and.....and....nothing. Harris did a whole lot of theater and I am sure there is a boatload of crimes in her resume. These people are arrogant, evil criminals. Funny thing is, I have not found but a couple people (who were black, so I have to say possibly biased), who actually like and respect these 2 piss ants, so I am not sure what the cabal thinks it is getting out of them, as they are both as big a failure as Hillary ever aspired to be.

    Wonder what percentage of voters can balance their checkbooks without help. I'm guessing less than 30% but that's only conjecture.

      Isn't that why you have a phone app and a web page to go look at, isn't that your balance? Am I missing something here?

        It might be a balance, but unless you verify that it matches the balance you calculate from the transactions that you are certain you did, you will not know that it is valid. Or should people just trust the bank's records without verification? That's like trusting the 2 major political parties not to lie to get your vote.
        The only way to verify the bank's balance is to do it yourself or hire someone who has an incentive to do it accurately. An app might be a tool that might assist you in the task.

          Sorry freedom, that was sarcasm. Everyone today thinks all they need to do is look at their bank balance and it is correct, because they have a) never been taught in school to do it, b) their parents never taught them either, and c) they have been trained to rely on someone or something else for everything they need, individual thought, responsibility, thinking, supporting your own self, all are banned subjects in schools, where social justice and embracing every crazy variation is the norm. No time for stinking math...use an app....or just go look at your balance on line (after all, it's real time right?).

          Remember, these are all the people who think everything is "free" and have been told so by their heroes of the democratic socialist peoples party, so it must be true, right?

    More "free" stuff. I try to make my liberal relatives and acquaintances understand that redistributionist actions are nothing but a new take on slaughtering the goose that lays the golden eggs, but they've latched onto the new propaganda about "inequality." The fact that the poor in America live better than 99% of the rest of the world's people has made the idea of a "war" on poverty have less impact. Now the cry is that it's just evil that one corporate boss makes 300 times what his secretary does. Wealth jealousy, because someone can afford more cars, fly first class, and take expensive vacations is a corrupting disease that liberals have eagerly spread.

    This idiocy reveals what makes revolutions. It isn't the wretched poor who revolt, because they are expending all their energy on surviving. No, it's the pampered looters who aren't satisfied with their lot and want more for nothing.

    It is proposed to be in addition to anything going on now. That is absurd.

    However, I propose that it is not as absurd as it first appears, IF the intent is different. Currently, there are many assistance type programs and tax incentivized "help" across many governments. So, eliminate them all and replace with a vastly simpler direct payout to citizens.

    This would eliminate Billions of $ of bureaucratic waste and remove the micro management distortions to the economy.

      Dean, all that bureaucratic waste is what they want, and need, as it is the layers of control that they use to control everyone. Not to mention all the graft and money skimmed off, in campaign donations, etc from all those mini-patrons. The whole idea is ludicrous simply from the point of fundamental dishonesty of saying "give me yours to give to them (and vote for me too)"....

    "American families making less than $100,000 a year could be eligible for a monthly tax credit of up to $500, or $6,000 a year, under new legislation announced Thursday by Democratic U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris of California.

    "Individuals making less than $50,000 would be eligible for up to $250 a month, $3,000 a year."

    Same as a tax cut for some and welfare for others. But still will end in tax increases to pay the bills or else increase the debt to be paid by taxation or printing more paper money. Just an incentive for some to work less down to the windfall amount for those getting the welfare.
    Here in Wisconsin there is a Homestead law where a portion of real estate or rent tax is refunded to those with lower incomes, up to about $27000 income, in a graduated way.
    On another topic. Here in Wisconsin the lying politics is in full form. Gov. Walker got property taxes frozen for the last four years. His challenger needs more tax money to pay for the 1.8 billion dollar increase in spending for education that he proposes and claims the somehow Walker himself had taken $800,000,000 away from the schools. He also is trying to get the voters to believe that if you have ever been sick, you will not be able to get health insurance and thus pre-existing conditions should be covered by insurance.
    I have blocked most robo political calls by NoMoRobo. The free version though my cable company works well. Just one ring for a blocked call, though nothing comes up on caller ID, but on Charter the number shows on the TV screen.

    I reserve the N word for special people like THIS one. She is a special type of organism, clearly NOT a normal human being deserving of the same rights as the rest of us (she doesnt respect the rights of other people).

      Harris is Indian and black.

      She dated Willie Brown but married a white man later. So much for identity justification.

      Mother Jones magazine opined that she is the right politician to beat Donald Trump.

      I can say that I have never seen a politician as arrogant and obnoxious as Harris. Obama was smitten by her (probably still is) which is of no surprise.

        I am amazed that people voted Harris in. I think she, Maxine waters, and Cory booker. ARE the face of the democrat party now

        I think the Democrats are going to be routed in 2 weeks. The pictures of thousands of illegals storming our border is quite alarming and even if voters don’t like trump, in the quiet of the voting booth common sense will rule

          No surprise there.

          The Californian electorate is programmed to vote Democrat, no matter who/what she/he is.

          They voted in Pelosi regularly.

          For a while they had a modicum of common sense left by voting their Governors Republican. Even that is gone by now.
