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

[daveman]

As if I care about idiot cultists and their little theater.

It costs you more to live your life thanks to your President's incompetence...and you're mad at Republicans.

 

[Marener]

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.

How does that explain record high profit margins?

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.”

That’s going to be a question for a lot of her policies, “if this is your policy, why didn’t you and Biden already do it?”

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

Harris wants to apply those tools to other areas

Really, they didn’t do anything with insulin. Many people with private insurance and Medicare were already paying about $38 per month. What exactly did Biden do for insulin ?

It's pretty simple, except for democrats who seem unable to get the concept.

You have a money supply that you increase by 20%. What happens to the value of each dollar?

Give me the policies.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Can we just skip your next twenty posts this time and tell us republicans are price gouging because they’re racist?

Give me the policies.

 

[buckeye]

Give me the policies.

Overspending causes the Federal Reserve to have new dollars printed to cover the cost of deficit spending.

Inflation is the result of the dollar being worth less. What used to cost $1.00, in generic terms, under Biden/Harris now costs over $1.20.

When you print a couple trillion of new dollars because of massive deficit spending, what happens to all dollars?

It's not a difficult question.

 

[yidnar]

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

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

smart enough to know that Biden and Harris owns the mess the US is in with skyrocketing costs of living , open borders , record fentanyl deaths , and war and instability breaking out across the world ..

 

[yidnar]

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.

maybe 12 million new grocery shoppers have something to do with that ..

 

[yidnar]

It's always a goddamn conspiracy with you weirdos.

like the laptop was Russian disinfo , COVID came from a pangolin , and Trump is a Russian plant ?

You said the Biden policies have cause record inflation, I asked you which specific policies and all I am getting is crickets.

 

[justoffal]

Just stop. There's enough crazy in this thread already.

Lol....well you have to admit it's an awfully strange coincidence.

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

No, but it would be your fault if you decided to sit on it instead of throwing it away.

How does that explain record high profit margins?

The food industry has their typical 1.6% or so profit margin, not a record.

Giant is losing money in DC due to theft. They should close those stores.

Over in Landover, where retail theft was through the roof, back when the brown turd Obammy was in office, i saw a Sam's club close, not because of those coming in to steal, but the very employees that worked there. Soon after the Landover Mall, was shut down, because merchandise kept walking out on its own. Finally Dan Snyder, turned that area into a paid parking lot for Redskin games. Alas, i guess everything now adays will be just a parking lot, and you have to have really good anti theft devices to keep the thieves away.

Why didn't Trumpy stop it?

Tell me what specific policies is causing runaway inflation.

Because inflation was low when he was president and when biden started.

Insulin was already cheap, Biden raised the price then lowered it again.
