Last time price controls were tried was during the Nixon Administration. I remember how "well" that worked out. It didn't. It resulted in shortages, higher inflation, STICKFLATION (prices never dropped) and worse.

Kamala Harris will DESTROY the USA with such a stupid policy.

And that's her intent.

With a Trump victory, food prices will go down—with NO price controls!

Phooey to the Dims!

Richard Simmons’ final gift to the Venezuelans were exercise videos. Hopefully, there are enough left over for Americans if the Communists prevail.

I say do it. Make voters suffer.

And since big corporations love liberalism let them lose millions and millions.

I’ll bet not ONE major provider will say a thing.

Walmart, Kroger, etc.

The totalitarian Left always wants to impose price controls. It never works, in modern history it has never, ever worked. It always produces scarcity. But they’re totalitarians, it’s all they know. If she got her way, we’d all be standing in line for bread, shoes, toilet paper and everything else. Just like in every other Marxist regime.

These people are insane.
