Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled a comprehensive economic plan addressing inflation, housing, and middle-class taxes. Her proposals include a ban on grocery price gouging, a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers, and an expansion of the child tax credit. Supporters praise her efforts to curb rising costs and boost housing supply, but critics warn that price controls could cause shortages, and homebuyer subsidies might increase prices. Economists broadly support the middle-class tax cuts, though some emphasize the need for offsetting revenue to avoid worsening the national debt.
