Economist EJ Antoni joins "Fox & Friends First" to criticize Kamala Harris' economic proposals, labeling them as "communist" and blaming her policies for America's economic troubles.
Economist EJ Antoni has raised concerns about Kamala Harris' economic policies, describing them as "communist" and holding her responsible for the country's economic struggles.
According to Antoni, Harris' proposals would lead to a drastic expansion of government control over the economy, resulting in higher taxes, reduced economic growth, and a stifled private sector. He argues that her ideas are rooted in a flawed ideology that prioritizes government intervention over individual freedom and market forces.

Harris' plans, which include massive spending on healthcare, infrastructure, and social programs, have drawn criticism from conservatives who believe they would impose a heavy burden on taxpayers and stifle the economy. Antoni contends that these proposals would exacerbate the national debt and lead to inflation, further eroding the value of Americans' savings and investments.
Antoni also expressed concern about Harris' support for policies that he believes erode the free market system, such as increased regulation on businesses and higher minimum wages. He argues that these measures would harm small businesses, reduce job creation, and ultimately lead to higher prices for consumers.

Critics of Antoni's views maintain that his analysis is exaggerated and politically motivated. They argue that Harris' economic proposals are not radical and fall within the mainstream of Democratic economic thought. They also contend that her policies aim to address real economic challenges facing the country, such as healthcare costs and income inequality.
Harris' economic proposals have been met with mixed reactions from within the Democratic Party. Some Democratic lawmakers have expressed support for her ambitious plans, while others have raised concerns about the cost and practicality of her ideas.

The debate over Harris' economic agenda is likely to continue as the 2024 presidential election approaches. Her views on economic policy will be a key factor in determining her electability and the direction of the Democratic Party.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has unveiled a plan to avoid a partial government shutdown at the end of this month. The plan would link a short-term extension of federal funding levels to a Republican-backed bill requiring proof of citizenship in the voter registration process.

House GOP leaders hope to hold a vote on the measure as soon as possible, likely next week. The bill would punt the federal funding fight to March, when a new administration and a new congressional term will dictate the next shutdown showdown.
The plan has drawn support from former President Donald Trump, who urged House Republicans to leverage a shutdown to get the March CR plus SAVE Act passed. However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated that the plan is unlikely to be taken up by the Senate.
The bill would need a simple majority to pass in the House, a tough task given Johnson's razor-thin majority. Several Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns about the plan, raising issues such as border security and spending cuts.
If the plan passes the House, it is expected to face significant opposition in the Senate. Schumer has emphasized the need for a bipartisan approach to funding the government, suggesting that he would not entertain a bill with partisan attachments.
