Donald Trump on Saturday ripped Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to slap socialist price controls on groceries, saying she’s gone “full Communist.”
The Republican presidential nominee compared economic proposals to reduce inflation that “Comrade Kamala” announced a day earlier – which includes cracking down on price gouging – to infamously failed communist plans pushed in Venezuela and the former Soviet Union.
“In her speech yesterday, Kamala went full Communist …” Trump told a packed house of supporters at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
“She wants to destroy our country. After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls,” Trump said.
With food prices surging more than 20% nationwide during the Biden-Harris administration, Harris, during a North Carolina rally on Friday, unveiled economic policies she’d enact during her first 100 days as president.
They include having the Federal Trade Commission enforce a federal ban on price gouging that would slap hefty penalties on companies that set exorbitantly high prices.
“What they are doing is a communist takeover of our country,” Trump said of the Harris proposal. --->READ MORE HERE
Even the Washington Post isn’t buying Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to slap socialist price controls on groceries.
The longtime, left-leaning broadsheet — owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos — published a scathing editorial ripping the Democratic presidential nominee for claiming price gouging is causing inflation and, rather than offer a legit plan to fix it, offering only “populist gimmicks.”
With food prices surging more than 20% nationwide during the Biden-Harris administration, Harris, during a North Carolina rally earlier Friday, unveiled economic policies she’d enact during her first 100 days as president that include enforcing government price controls on groceries.
Instead of “level[ing] with voters” and saying “inflation spiked in 2021 mainly because the pandemic snarled supply chains, and that the Federal Reserve’s policies, which the Biden-Harris administration supported, are working to slow it,” the veep “opted for a less forthright route: Blaming big business,” the newspaper wrote.
Bezos, who has been more complimentary of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump lately, purchased the newspaper in 2013, but he began taking a more active role in its operations in the past year.
The billionaire’s powerhouse portfolio — which includes e-commerce king Amazon and the Whole Food Market chain — would likely be impacted by Harris’ Commie-friendly policy ideas like having the Federal Trade Commission enforce a federal ban on price gouging that includes dishing out hefty penalties to companies that set exorbitantly high prices. --->READ MORE HERE
