Vice President Kamala Harris has issued a stark warning to Americans about former President Donald Trump’s proposed agenda, known as Project 2025, should he win the upcoming presidential election.

Harris claims the plan will revert the country to outdated and damaging policies that favor the wealthy at the expense of the middle class and working families.

In a Facebook post, Harris outlined the dangers of Project 2025: “Trump’s Project 2025 is a plan to return America to a dark past: failed trickle-down economic policies, union busting, tax breaks for billionaires, and blocking student loan forgiveness. Can you believe they put that in writing?”

Harris’ statement highlights her campaign’s concerns about the potential economic and social impacts of Trump’s plans. Project 2025, she argues, would resurrect policies that historically have not benefited the majority of Americans. According to Harris, Project 2025 includes a revival of trickle-down economics, a theory that posits tax breaks and benefits for the wealthy and corporations will eventually “trickle down” to everyone else.

Critics argue that this approach has repeatedly failed to produce the promised broad economic benefits, instead widening income inequality and leaving middle and lower-income families struggling.

Harris also warns that Trump’s agenda would undermine labor unions, which play a crucial role in advocating for workers’ rights, fair wages, and safe working conditions.

By weakening unions, Harris contends, Project 2025 would erode protections for American workers and allow corporations greater freedom to prioritize profits over people.

Another controversial element of Project 2025 is its focus on providing substantial tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.

Harris argues that these tax breaks disproportionately benefit billionaires and large corporations, further exacerbating economic inequality.

This policy, she suggests, would shift the tax burden onto middle and lower-income families who are already struggling with rising living costs.

Harris also highlights Trump’s intention to block student loan forgiveness, a policy initiative that has gained significant support among younger voters and those burdened by educational debt.

Eliminating the possibility of student loan relief would, according to Harris, hinder economic mobility and place additional financial strain on millions of Americans. The warnings come amid growing concerns about the U.S. economy. A recent jobs report from the Labor Department revealed that job growth slowed sharply in July, with employers adding only 114,000 jobs, well below the forecasted 175,000.

The unemployment rate also unexpectedly rose to 4.3%, the highest since October 2021. These figures have reignited fears of an impending recession and have led to a drop in stock futures.

Harris’ campaign has been vocal about its economic priorities, emphasizing efforts to support the middle class and combat corporate greed.

James Singer, a spokesperson for Harris for President, stated, “Vice President Harris knows there’s more work to do to lower costs for families.

She will make building up the middle class the defining goal of her presidency, taking on greedy corporations that are price gouging consumers, banning hidden fees, and capping unfair rent increases and drug costs.”

The Trump campaign has defended its economic plans, criticizing the Biden-Harris administration for what it describes as failed economic policies.

Karoline Leavitt, Trump Campaign National Press Secretary, responded, “Kamala Harris has proudly and repeatedly celebrated her role as Joe Biden’s co-pilot on ‘Bidenomics.’

She cast tie-breaking votes in the Senate for spending that put inflation on steroids, and despite the evidence that America’s working families are hurting, she tells us these failed plans are working.”

As the election approaches, the contrasting economic visions of Harris and Trump are likely to be a central issue for voters.

Harris’ warnings about Project 2025 aim to galvanize opposition to Trump’s proposed policies and rally support for a more progressive economic agenda.
