Ruhle pressed Harris on funding the economic agenda, questioning her plans if corporate tax hikes are blocked by a divided Congress, leading to uncertainty about child tax credit expansion.
Harris emphasized that corporations and billionaires must pay their fair share, but Ruhle pointed out that this did not answer the critical funding question for the administration's proposals.
Ruhle expressed that merely borrowing to fund these plans would worsen the deficit situation, highlighting the need for responsible financial planning and acknowledgment of debt implications.
Ruhle concluded that the statement from Harris was reminiscent of campaign promises without a solid plan to tackle potential funding roadblocks posed by Congress.
