Kamalas economic cost of living plan

[Failzero]

Smashing the cartels will pay for itself. She is also cutting corporate benefits. Taking from billionaires to help families.

But smashing the right cartels ( illegal Drug) is out of the question

• Combating “price gouging” on groceries and food by authorizing the Federal Trade Commission to impose large fines on grocery stores that impose “excessive” price hikes on customers.
• Eliminating medical debt for millions of Americans, possibly by using federal funds to buy and forgive outstanding debt from health providers.
• Capping the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35 per month for all Americans.
• Limiting Americans’ annual out-of-pocket spending on prescription drugs to $2,000.
• Providing up to $25,000 in down payment support for more than 1 million first-time home buyers.
• Calling for the construction of 3 million new housing units over the next four years.
• Expanding an existing tax incentive for developers who build affordable rental housing.
• Removing tax benefits for Wall Street investors who bulk buy single-family rental homes.
• Preventing corporate landlords from using algorithmic price-setting tools to increase rents by large margins.
• Passing a child tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life.
• Expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit for lower-wage workers by up to $1,500.

The ones with the line through them are just bad ideas all around and mostly outside of the power of the Fed Govt.

I do not like using the tax code for social engineering, but it is what we do in this country so at least those seem worthwhile

Not sure which Americans she is talking about as far as limiting out of pocket for medicine, I am assuming only those on Medicare

The govt has to step in when the market fails.

The govt has to step in when the market fails.

The Govt almost never, ever, makes things better.

The market will work itself out if given the chance

The market should be the arbiter. But markets break down. Housing is a good example.. Its a broken down system.
Food prices are the same. The big players control the prices for their own interests. That is their legal duty.
They are not a public service.
If you live in a small town and you have 4 chains with stores then they will all have the same prices. A cartel.
You might find potatoes cheaper in one place and eggs cheaper in another. But honestly who has the time ?
Govt should look at these things because the industry has no interest.

Housing is a good example.. Its a broken down system.

And the Govt handing out more money to help people buy a house will make it worse.

Same thing happened when the Govt got in the Student Loan business....the price of college skyrocketed.

If you live in a small town and you have 4 chains with stores then they will all have the same prices. A cartel.

Well yeah, they will be close since they all have the same basic overhead and are selling the same basic products. Why would the price of Ritz crackers vary much from store to store in the same town?

Because of the cartel.

Because of the cartel.

Have all fallen foul of anti trust laws. That is what business does when they are unfettered.

There will obviously be more to come but it isnt a bad start.

Its a bit timid but its a good start. Just as important its a powerful list of measures to beat trumps "campaign".
Kamala aint black butters no parsnips.
I gott big attendences doesnt pay the rent.

Measures to stop profiteering and boost the housing market. These are things for the people. What is trump promising outside Project 2025 and banning books and not teaching history and banning all abortions and banning IVF ?.

Do the GOPreally want to battle on policy ?

Kamala Harris just unveiled her economic plan to 'lower the cost of living.' Would it work — and how does it compare to Trump's?

Friday's populist speech marked the first time Harris has delved into any significant detail about her governing vision — and clearly tried to differentiate herself on policy from President Biden.
