Kamala Harris slammed for saying Inflation Reduction Act is dropping 'trillions of dollars' on US streets

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: Vice President Kamala Harris drew flak for a recent statement regarding the Inflation Reduction Act as she claimed that "trillions of dollars" are being allocated to building roads in the country, according to Fox News.

Detractors of the Biden-Harris administration pointed out the irony in her comments, as the legislation she mentioned aims to stimulate the economy and mitigate inflation through substantial government spending.

Kamala Harris says the Biden administration is dropping trillions of dollars on the streets of the US because of the Inflation Reduction Act

On Thursday, May 16, Vice President Harris said, "Because of the Inflation Reduction Act — the infrastructure act — we are dropping trillions of dollars on the streets of America right now to build back up our roads and our bridges, our sidewalks, to invest in a clean energy economy, to deal with the climate crisis in a way that is about building up adaptation and resilience."

She was in Milwaukee for her nationwide Economic Opportunity Tour, where she made sure individuals and small business owners were aware and informed about the opportunities and grants available to them under the current administration, according to WPR.

"It is about investing in America’s prosperity and a broad-based economy, but it’s also about investing in communities and the civic fabrics of communities," further noted the vice president. 

Moreover, while speaking on the topic of homeownership for people of color, Harris brought up issues of redlining, segregation, and "racial bias in home appraisals."

Her multi-state tour, which kicked off on April 29 in Atlanta, is aimed at discussing how the current administration is "investing in communities, building wealth, and ensuring every American has the ability to thrive," according to the White House.

Social media users were quick to find the discrepancy in the vice president’s argument, contending that the government's allocation of trillions of dollars in spending is squarely contributing to inflation, which has been a significant concern for the nation's economy.

One remarked, "She just (unwittingly) admitted they're responsible for inflation," and another said, "Wow, every time VP speaks my head hurts."

"Dropping trillions of dollars on streets is the literal definition of inflation," expressed a person, while another added, "She’s not the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier! God help us."

"What the heck did she just say?" questioned an individual. One more quipped, "I think you might want to rename it the 'Inflation Inflation Act' if you want to be accurate."
