Disastrous policy plans

Kamala Harris has now told us about the policy stances she wants to undertake. Let's take a look at a couple.

One: a ban on fracking. We are not taking advantage of our ability to tap our petroleum abundance, and she wants to destroy our great natural resource advantage. We should be encouraging the petroleum industry to tap this resource. We could be a seller rather than a buyer and try to shrink our national debt. Don't stifle this advantage, encourage it.

She also wants Medicare for All at a cost of trillions of dollars. This policy stand is just another indicator that socialism will become a reality. Free health care, free child care, guaranteed income, rent assistance … folks, if this doesn't scream socialism, aka communism, I don't know what does. These are policy programs that spell disaster.
