OPINION:
We just crossed the $35 trillion in debt threshold, but that’s just the beginning of what Vice President Kamala Harris would do if she became president (“Kamala Harris wants you to forget all she once stood for,” web, July 31).
She is pushing for “single-payer” health care. That means the federal government (you, the taxpayer) will pay for 100% of health care in America. The cost will be $32 trillion over 10 years, according to the Mercatus Center. Further, government control of health care would mean federal government control over the taxpayers. Yet we’d have a lot more debt.
The cost of the Green New Deal under Ms. Harris would be at least $93 trillion, according to the American Action Forum. This is $65,000 per household per year, just to start. The total cost to us taxpayers would be $94 trillion. The United States will be completely bankrupt if Ms. Harris is elected.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Don’t allow the federal government to gain full control over health care (and you). Let’s use the energy sources God gave us while incrementally improving the environment. We are currently being used as suckers under the Paris climate agreement. While the U.S. will be paying trillions of dollars, many powerful countries pay nothing, as listed under the agreement.
You’ve been warned: Do not vote for Kamala Harris as president. She would be a total disaster for the United States.
