Kamala's Closing Argument Includes Communist Price Controls

When Vice President Kamala Harris helped boot President Joe Biden from the 2024 campaign trail over the summer, she was forced to come up with some kind of economic policy plan.

In her first economic policy proposal in August, Harris offered communist-style price controls as a solution to the inflation crisis she helped create through massive and unnecessary federal government spending by the Biden-Harris administration.

Her position on "price gouging" regulation was widely panned, even by Democrats.

🚨🚨🚨 CNN admits Kamala’s plans for price controls has been a disaster everywhere.

"We‘ve seen this kind of thing tried in lots of other countries before. Venezuela, Argentina, the Soviet Union...it leads to shortages" and would "cause a lot of harm."

And yet, as part of her final pitch to voters just 24 hours from Election Day, Harris is still campaigning on so-called price controls.

The Harris campaign is trying to convince everyone supermarkets are price gouging - and price controls will fix the problem.

The data doesn’t match their claim.
