Kamala Harris is making a campaign stop in Raleigh, North Carolina to promote her economic policy
Harris’ policy also includes new tax breaks, a lower cost of living for Americans, and $25,000 in down payment help for certain first-time homebuyers and tax incentives for builders of starter homes, among other things.
The Democratic presidential candidate is pushing for tax breaks for families and middle- and lower-income individuals, while expanding the child tax credit to up to $3,600 — and $6,000 for children in their first year of life.
According to the Associated Press, Harris wants to boost the earned income tax credit for people in lower-income jobs without kids, which the Harris campaign projects may cut their tax rate by $1,500.
The Vice President also wants to lower health insurance premiums through the Affordable Care Act.
The AP noted that Harris’ grocery pricing initiative would advise the Federal Trade Commission to discipline companies involved in price spikes and singles out a lack of competition in the meat-packing industry for raising the cost of meat.
