If "price gouging" is happening, why didn't Biden & Harris stop it? (Poll)

[Marener]

Define 'money supply' first.

it seems like the most common definition is M2.

M2 Definition and Meaning in the Money Supply

M2 is a measurement of the nation's money supply that estimates all of the cash that everyone has in hand or in short-term bank deposits.

In case you don't know ... Trump hasn't been POTUS for nearly 4 yrs .. inflation was less than 2% annually when he left office .

If someone hands you a grenade without a pin, is it your fault that it blows up?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

try to blame all the crap going on today on Trump if it puts you in a happier effeminate state of mind .. but people with common sense know what's going on ..

That isn't what I said or implied. Goddamn son, did you come here to have discussions with other people, or to play with yourself?

your answer was an attempt to shift blame away from the party that has been in power for nearly 4 yrs .. I know exactly what you were trying to imply .

Haha? Not really, but you DEFINITELY did that.
Naturally.

Correlation is not causation. So you do not sound smart.

Is price gouging by greedy corporations happening or not?

If so, why didn't Biden and Harris stop it, there are laws on the books already. Show us examples.

If not, then why are they lying?

That's an easy one. Biden and Harris are lying about price gouging. Its their stupid policies that are causing runaway inflation.

Harris’ plan to stop price gouging could create more problems than it solves​

Jason Furman, a top economist in the Obama administration, shared Roberts’ view that anti-price gouging laws could inadvertently harm consumers. “This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality,” he told the New York Times. “There’s no upside here, and there is some downside.”

This is what I keep saying, every time Kumalla claims she'll fix something, reporters should be asking her where she's been the last four years.

It doesn't require any laws. All they would have had to do is call the companies out by name with their evidence of "price gouging." But they didn't. Because they can't. Because it's not happening.

Which they did. They also described the record profit margins on groceries as the evidence.

You fools just make up self soothing lies as you go along.

American dummy:

Spends decades shilling for capitalism and calling anyone who dares question it's perfection a communist.

Cries like a little baby and blames their boogeymen, whenever capitalism doesn't 'work right'.

Gouging is capitalism.

Literally none of that is true.

Dunno..... Looks like they're trying to time the Monkey Pox BS....to coincide with November.

Are you an uniformed voter?

Because this is an election year, the time to lie to voters in order to get their vote.

I didn't see any proof of corporate greed.

Biden's open borders and the 15,000,000 illegals he let into the US caused inflation, a much bigger demand with the same supply is classic inflation.

States introduced price gouging legislation during the pandemic. Including Republican states. So it's hilarious that Republicans are trying to make out that price gouging legislation makes you a Communist.

Biden and Harris were successful in stopping price gouging for Insulin and other major drugs

Harris wants to apply those tools to other areas

Oh, you mean the price cap on insulin that Trump instituted and that Biden did away with?

You know why insulin is so expensive? Because the government only lets a few companies make it. And it's easy to make.

It's the government's fault.
