    Voters deserve answers from Kamala Harris on these questions

    Because Vice President Kamala Harris has been too cowardly and deceptive to take questions from the press corps, and because the media have, in turn, been flacking for her rather than doing their jobs, we thought it would be helpful to post our questions here that she needs to answer.

    In the past, she clearly endorsed “mandatory” gun buybacks
    , a socialized government single-payer healthcare system, packing the Supreme Court with ideological justices, a federal job guarantee that could cost taxpayers up to $2 trillion per year , and a ban on fracking . Now her campaign aides say those are not her positions. Has she changed her mind on each of those, and if so, will she please explain why and also explain why voters should believe she is committed to her new positions? Will she unequivocally commit not to reverse herself again on any of those new positions?
    The Democratic Party platform includes amnesty for the 10 million illegal immigrants in the United States the day Harris became vice president. What does she plan to do with the 4 million illegal immigrants her administration caught and released into the U.S.? Will she deport them as former President Donald Trump did or give them amnesty, along with all the other illegal immigrants? Because she and her party have committed to providing welfare, Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security to all those immigrants, how, with specific math, does she propose to have taxpayers pay for it all?

    Harris has embraced the Biden-Harris administration’s tax proposals, including massive hikes on corporate income taxes. Yet since Republicans cut those taxes in 2017, the job-producing economic activity the cuts spurred brought in nearly twice as much revenue from corporate income taxes, from $230 billion to $410 billion . Why does she want to reverse this successful policy?
    Her Democratic platform, in several places, pledges to “end special interest giveaways,” but the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation reports that her dishonestly named Inflation Reduction Act gave $650 billion over 10 years to politically powerful banks , left-leaning industries that produce little, and even
    Chinese firms . Even the liberal Washington Post reported that Harris's vaunted “Infrastructure Law” has built only seven electric charging stations in two years despite spending $7.5 billion. Why are her giveaways apparently exempt from her platform’s promised crackdown on special interests?
    When Harris's administration took the power to "negotiate" or dictate prices to pharmaceutical companies, critics in this publication and elsewhere repeatedly warned that the policy would hamper research and development of new drugs, so there would be “ a reduction in cures for sick people.” Now, straight news reports
    show that is what is happening, with research and innovation dropping sharply and companies slashing thousands of jobs. Harris now promises to expand this drug “negotiation” program, but how will she account for the slowdown in new cures that her program causes?
    Even as Minneapolis was still smoldering in 2020 after violent riots that Harris's running mate, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), refused for four days to stop, and as 19 people died nationwide in riots that caused billions of dollars of damages, Harris encouraged protesters to continue throughout the year and beyond and advocated releasing even accused murderers and rapists pending trial, a cause for which she continues to fundraise
    . Harris's campaign still says she wants to end bail requirements. She and her running mate both have supported movements to defund police departments. Apart from her long-ago job as a prosecutor, what actual policy choices does Harris advocate to convince voters she will be tough enough on crime?

    Why did she insist for so long that President Joe Biden was competent to serve four more years when it was obvious for many months, if not years, that he was incapable of fullfiling the heavy requirements of the job of president?

    Voters deserve answers to all these questions. There are a lot more where these came from, and we will ask them repeatedly from now until Election Day.
