                               RESOLUTION


 
  Strongly condemning ``Kamalanomics'', Vice President Kamala Harris' 
radical economic agenda that has increased inflation, kept unemployment 
levels painfully high, and raised prices on everyday goods and services 
                      for United States families.

Whereas inflation is a tax on all Americans;
Whereas, when Vice President Kamala Harris assumed office as part of the Biden-
        Harris administration, inflation was at just 1.4 percent;
Whereas, since Vice President Harris assumed office, inflation has risen by 20.3 
        percent;
Whereas Americans are spending over $13,000 more annually to buy the basics 
        because of Kamalaflation compared to 3 years ago;
Whereas, in August 2024, the Bureau of Labor Statistics revised down its total 
        tally of jobs created from March 2023 through March 2024 by 818,000, 
        meaning that the number of jobs supposedly created by the Biden-Harris 
        administration was artificially inflated by hundreds of thousands;
Whereas this revision is the largest in 15 years;
Whereas, in August 2024, the United States added just 142,000 jobs, 
        significantly lower than the 160,000 that economists had predicted;
Whereas, from July 2023 versus July 2024, there has been a net-zero job growth;
Whereas, since July 2023, the number of people working multiple jobs has 
        drastically increased by 311,000;
Whereas real wages remain lower than when Biden and Harris first took office;
Whereas Kamalaflation outpaced wages for a majority of Biden's Presidency, and 
        both year-over-year real average hourly earnings and real average weekly 
        earnings were negative for 25 months;
Whereas inflation-adjusted average weekly earnings were $397.90 when Biden and 
        Harris took office and are now $380.98 (the Bureau of Labor Statistics 
        adjusts to 1982-1984 dollars), meaning Americans have seen a 4.25 
        percent decrease under Biden and Harris;
Whereas interest rates have remained at a 23-year high;
Whereas the Federal debt has surpassed $35,000,000,000,000 for the first time in 
        United States history due to the Biden-Harris administration's unchecked 
        and reckless Federal spending, burdening the next generation with a 
        disastrous economic outlook and reducing their opportunity to achieve 
        the American Dream;
Whereas, due in part to Vice President Harris' tiebreaking vote on the 
        ironically named Inflation Reduction Act, Americans are on track to 
        spend more on interest to service the national debt than on our national 
        defense apparatus;
Whereas the national deficit is nearing $2,000,000,000,000, the highest in 
        United States history aside from the COVID-19 pandemic, as a result of 
        the Biden-Harris administration's Federal spending sprees;
Whereas Americans are paying more for nearly everything due to the disastrous 
        effects of Kamalanomics since Vice President Harris assumed office in 
        2021;
Whereas, as of August 2024, chicken is up 24.7 percent since Harris took office 
        in 2021;
Whereas, as of August 2024, lunch meats are up 22.8 percent since Harris took
