Vice President Kamala Harris’ first major policy plan took on the top issue in the presidential campaign — the economy and high prices — with sweeping proposals for expanded government intervention and more federal spending.
She vowed to lower prices at the grocery store with price controls and open up the increasingly out-of-reach housing market with tax subsidies for home buyers.
“Believe me, as president, I will go after the bad actors,” Ms. Harris said in a speech Friday in North Carolina. “I will work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food. My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules.”
Former President Donald Trump said Ms. Harris had gone “full communist.”
“She wants to destroy our country after causing catastrophic inflation,” he said Saturday at a rally in Pennsylvania. “Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls. You saw that never worked before. Never ever worked.”
He also said she was “promising to hand out things she can’t deliver.”
Ms. Harris’ economic platform mostly serves as an extension of President Biden’s policies but adds a bigger role for the federal government.
She said the unprecedented price controls on food and groceries are necessary because corporations are price-gouging Americans — a charge Mr. Biden made regularly to explain soaring inflation.
Under the Harris plan, the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general could impose harsh penalties on companies that set prices too high.

So are the nevertrumpers going to hit this thread and tell us Kamala’s policy is great and Trump is wrong so he better talk policy policy policy? LOL
Next, Harris is going to accuse Trump of Right Deviationist Thinking. Her’s will be the Great Leap Forward.

Kamala is going after the BAD actors..she’s going after Jo and herself?
There's nobody on Free Republic who thinks Kamunism is great.
If it walks like a duck......
The price of food is more influenced by the price of fuel than that of the grocers profits!
Farmers and distributors are using a lot of fuel!
So maybe, she should reduce the prices of food by allowing fracking everywhere?
But, I do not think she cares about prices of food, more about government control!
the msm goes hard on kissing kamalalalamas butt
the marxist is going after the evil capitalists
sounds logical
Well, they won't come out and admit they're leftist trolls, but you can smell them from a mile away on this other thread.

There are no bad actors when the profit margin is less than 2%.
If they manage to “steal” this off the damage to this country will be irreparable
I would never vote for Kamala, but every time I start thinking she cannot possibly be THAT bad, she comes out with something so astonishingly stupid as federal price controls.
She really is THAT bad. If Americans are so morally bankrupt (“free” stuff taken from other Americans is theft) as to elect this Kamunist, then I guess they deserve what results. It ain’t gonna be good. Just look at Venezuela.
Down with Kamunism!
I’m buying colt arms and SW mfg stock.
Kammy is the new age Soapy Smith - “We cheat the other guy and pass the savings on to you “.
Donald Trump calls it “Full Communism”.

What would play better is “Full Venezuela”.
