Kamala Harris for Pres

Trump: "I think I am entitled to personal attacks. I do not have a lot of respect for her. I don’t have a lot of respect for her intelligence, and I think she’ll be a terrible president. And I think it is very important that we win. And whether the personal attacks are good, bad – I mean, she certainly attacks me personally. She actually called me "weird." “He’s weird.” It was just a soundbite," he said.
"She’s not—she's not smart. I don't believe she loves our country," he added.

During the long and, at times, rambling exchange with reporters, Trump often pushed false claims on several topics, including the outcome of the 2020 election and size of the crowd at his Jan. 6, 2021, rally before the attacks on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

The Harris campaign has been using Trump's news conferences to highlight flubs he has made and criticize policies he advocates.

"Trump did the only thing he knows how to do -- he went out and lied, made up stories, mixed up dates, attacked the media, and, overall, reminded Americans that he is a deeply unwell man," the Harris campaign said in a statement reacting to Trump's news conference.

Price controls have essentially never worked as a long term strategy. Who the hell convinced Harris that was a good policy idea?

Corporate America making record profits while unnecessarily raising prices on everything to screw over the working class. That's probably who.
I would love it if prices of things weren't allowed to be insane and unaffordable.

I haven't seen any ideas of how to lower costs of things. I can't really think of any either.

I guess you could force companies to overproduce items so there would be a surplus and they would be desperate to get rid of some volume and therefore lower prices on the hoped that people go and buy their extra inventory? I don't think companies will do that willingly though as that's bad business.

Too bad large corporations and rich folks can't be injected with something that makes them less greedy and more giving/altruistic and it would make them decide that one yaught and 10 sports cars is enough to make them happy.

I know trump wants to lower taxes for everyone which would give Americans more spending power which would make more demand and less supply which would raise prices even more while also decrease revenue to the government and raise the national debt.

Turns out economies are hard for a president to control and it's likely that whenever any candidate talks about what they will do to fix the economy they are actually full of **** and we shouldn't give them credit or criticism for the economy that they have little to no control over.

Let’s take an example Fish.

Kroger is a national grocery store. A corporate grocery store. Harris has said these companies are price gouging, and they need to put in a price ceiling (which again, has never worked). Anyways, Kroger has a profit margin of just under 1.5%. They make their money on volume, not price gouging.

But let’s be real. Let’s think. If as a country, a government, we set an artificial ceiling on the price of food, what’s going to happen? Well, we’re going to increase demand. That’s good, right?! Well, not so much. Time after time, after time, price ceilings lead to higher demand, which leads to a shortage because the producers simply can’t make money. But sure, blame corporate America. If only there had been somebody in office who could have done something to make the economy better. It’s striking to me, how “Bidenomics” has been viewed and stated as a stellar success by the media and the current administration, and yet Harris has just recently come out with policy stating how the economy is struggling and she’s going to fix it. Both things can’t be true.
