Ultra-left Washington Post lays into Kamala's awful Soviet price-control policy

[marvin martian]

When you're a Democrat, and the Washington Post calls your policy communist crap, you're finished.

NO ONE wants the Soviet bullshit Kamala Harris is selling!



WaPo writes (emphasis added):

What are these “clear rules of the road” or the thresholds that determine when a price or profit level becomes “excessive”? The memo doesn’t say, and the campaign did not answer questions I sent seeking clarification.
The most likely template for Harris’s proposal is a recent bill from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.). (Harris co-sponsored similar legislation with Warren in 2020, when Harris was a senator.) Warren’s bill would ban any “grossly excessive price” during any “atypical disruption” of a market. Alas, no definition was provided for these terms, either; rather, the bill would empower the Federal Trade Commission to enforce bans using any metric it deems appropriate.
It’s hard to exaggerate how bad this policy is. It is, in all but name, a sweeping set of government-enforced price controls across every industry, not only food. Supply and demand would no longer determine prices or profit levels. Far-off Washington bureaucrats would. The FTC would be able to tell, say, a Kroger in Ohio the acceptable price it can charge for milk.

Wow! Even the left-wing media is calling out her America-destroying policies and proposals. Encouraging news.

That makes three Pravda outlets tempering their cheerleading for this ticket. Usually that means the demmunists have different strategy in mind.

It was lies to buy votes with. She knows there is no way she could actually do it.

Republicans are clever. Slick. It's hard to argue that these food stores have been gouging us since the end of covid. So how do you combat Kamala when she says she's going to take on the gougers? Call her a commy?

This argument isn't going to work. It only works on MAGA retards.

Republicans forget government is the referee between corporations and workers/consumers. Just because the government steps in, that doesn't make it a communist country.
