Kamala Wants Price Controls on Groceries, Venezuelan-Style

[Crepitus]

How will food shortages improve the situation?

what food shortages? We make so much food we throw nearly half of it away.

 

[Mac-7]

That's laughable.

You can't get anything to stick so now you're gonna call her a communist?

You kids are pathetic.

Why not?

Its a tossup between a communist and a fascist

For instance Harris is threatening to take away company patents and turn over production to the government

Thats chilling

Wow. And that’s not a major move toward socialism?

 

[Catsnmeters]

As I pointed out, there already laws that deal with situations like that

So what is harris babbling about thats new?

So her mistake isn't Soviet like price controls that will delete food markets like Venezuela but is instead supporting laws on a federal level that already exist in many states?

Please clarify that is the current narrative.

Lol, your desperation is again noted.

Keep flailing around, it's amusing.

Laws on top of laws?

The only reason can be price controls

I assume you ave seen the quote already

“I will snatch the patents away from them”

How can she even do that? I guess it’s her attempted step toward “you will own nothing, and be happy about it.”

 

[HikerGuy83]

Are you pro price gauging or something?

Must have been a smear on the teleprompter.

 

[Slade3200]

Yes, as long as some george soros democrat does to abuse their authority

Why are the laws you support American and the ideas Kamala has unAmerican. What’s the difference ?

Kamala Harris Endorses Nixonomics​

https://www.wsj.com/opinion/kamala-harris-economic-plan-price-controls-housing-child-tax-credit-richard-nixon-a37e08b4?st=7e4vc7sjsa801gh

We wrote Friday that Kamala Harris was likely to continue President Biden’s unfinished Build Back Better agenda, but it turns out we were far too optimistic. The policy priorities the Vice President laid out Friday are much worse, including a plan to impose national price controls on food and groceries.

Ms. Harris’s political problem is that the Biden-Harris economic policies have delivered inflation and declining real incomes. The high price of food is a particular sore point, and the Vice President’s response is to make it worse by resorting to Venezuelan-style left-wing populism. That’s no exaggeration.

On Friday she floated a “first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries,” including “new authority” for the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to punish companies for charging too much.
This sounds like legislation introduced by Sen. Elizabeth Warren that would ban “grossly excessive prices” as determined by the Federal Trade Commission. Business violations would carry a penalty of up to 5% of annual revenue. This would effectively let the FTC set prices. But what is an excessive price? Is $4 too much for a gallon of milk in Omaha? Is it a different price in Miami? FTC Chair Lina Khan and her army of bureaucrats would presumably decide.

This is perfect.

She's a moron. She knows nothing. And she picked a VP that is stupid as she is.

You ever hear about what happened with Rent Control (no supply) or Gas Price Freezes (long lines).

Price is what clears the market. Harris does not understand that increasing the money supply pushes up prices. She's done it already. If she trys this, then she's going to likely see prices go up. That or the products wont be available. Like waiting in line for bread like they do in Russia ?

I never thought the day would come where we'd put a full-on retard in the W.H. With Bush we got close.

/——/ Commie Harris’s scam will add more overhead as grocers have to justify retail prices to bureaucrats who couldn’t run a Kool Aid stand without adult supervision.
“If enacted, the Harris campaign’s proposal would give authority to the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general to impose harsh penalties on companies for setting excessively high prices.”
Cracks in the wall of media praise for Harris? Multiple outlets eviscerate VP over price control plan

Price controls always lead to shortages.

For lib statists there is always a way

 

[SweetSue92]

Weren't you just in another thread bitching about high grocery prices?

Do you want something done or not?

Make up your alleged mind.

Wow that honeymoon is over, huh?

Well, you tried I guess

 

[Mac-7]

Why are the laws you support American and the ideas Kamala has unAmerican. What’s the difference ?

I put it badly, but what I meant to say is that even good laws can be abused by bad people

Kamala harris and her soviet price control scheme is a bad person doing bad government

Yet you support the laws in place that punish abuse… and you haven’t even heard Kamala’s proposed legislation that she wants to implement to help problems with abuse… are the current laws just the perfect blend of commie and freedom to make them American in your eyes?

To say that harris has no credibility is putting it mildly

Part of the problem was this move to lift minimum wages to $15.00/hour trying to make minimum wage jobs into "living wages" instead of just jobs for school students to learn working. By raising salaries to double what they used to be for unskilled labor, not only did that raise the cost of labor and services ADDING to inflation, but it negated the effect of inflation--- the whole reason for getting a skilled job requiring education is to AFFORD to live! Why do that if you can afford to live on minimum wage?

Further, it took away the whole impetus to LOWER inflation and costs, because if everyone is mostly getting along now under an inflated economy (due to the rose wages), then the motivation to LOWER COST to make life more affordable is TAKEN AWAY.

Then the bigger consequences for large companies. Having to increase everybody else's pay to keep your salary structure in line.

I just thought of a new slogan for Trump!

How about…..

MAGA: Make America’s Groceries Affordable

 

[EMH]

So the Democrat policy on groceries is as follows...

1. tax farmers because cows fart
2. increase farmers' power costs because of Co2 FRAUD
3. exterminate all farm animals because Bill Gates says they increase Co2
4. increase demand for groceries by keeping border open
5. bitch whine complain, blame others, and order prices to remain the same despite 1-4

At some point, it becomes perfectly obvious that we are dealing with a political party that has no truth and does not care about truth.
