hclasvegas: Former Obama chief economic adviser Jason Furman told The New York Times that his “biggest hope” for the economic ideas Harris laid out in that speech is that it “ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality.”
“This is not sensible policy,” Furman said. “There’s no upside here, and there is some downside.” That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement from one of the economic policy gurus of the Democratic Party. "

This is called lying by omission.

Furman was only talking about Vice President Kamala Harris' plan to combat rising grocery costs by banning "corporate price gouging," not her "economic ideas."

Price gouging. Furman was not talking about anything else.
