Clinton-era Labor chief commends Harris for economic plan that will target big monopolies
The Hill ^ | 08/17/2024 | FILIP TIMOTIJA

Former Secretary of Labor for President Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, commended Vice President Kamala Harris for her newly outlined economic plan targeting big monopolies.

“I think it’s a very important plan, because what Kamala Harris is doing, building upon the very important work that was done by [President] Joe Biden, is to attack the source, one of the most important sources of high prices, and that is monopoly power,” Reich told NBC News’ Valerie Castro Friday on “NBC News Now.”

Harris, the current presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, unveiled her economic plan at a rally in North Carolina on Friday. She promoted economic proposals her campaign revealed this week. Some of the proposals include having a federal ban on price gouging. It would push state attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to probe how corporations exploit consumers by lifting prices to boost profits.

Rush’s pronunciation of his name was priceless...

“”I thought he had shrunk away into oblivion.””

There should have been a train that we could have loaded them all on at the end of Clinton’s administration - never to be seen or heard from again!

He is on YouTube constantly bashing Trump, conservatives, the Supreme Court and touting the wonderful benefits of democrat controlled big government.

I wasn’t sure of just HOW it would go but the final “UH” is fine...anything to do with Rush was fine!!! I don’t know if anyone could pronounce it like Rush could - kind of like blowing air between your teeth...BUT there has never been another Rush and never will be!!!
