It’s weird to see trumpers get big mad over Harris’s “communist” economic plan to help out blue collar workers and young people when Donald promised to raise tariffs, deport millions of cheap labor workers, and award corporations and billionaires that show him loyalty. You just aren’t seriously people. You bitch and bitch and then bitch some more.

Hi! I’m a conservative that just talked about how the tariffs were bad! And you’re calling illegal immigrants cheap labor? Good grief man, that’s one of the more racist things I’ve seen here. Gotta keep the illegals so we have cheap labor!

And yes, I will call out price controls. They do not work. Flat out do not. They create shortages. Might have cheaper food, but you’re going to have less of it. Although, I suppose that could be good for the obesity rating!

Don’t you know? The only way to fix this is to give these companies more tax cuts. Helping consumers get cheaper groceries is communism and nazism and fascism and monarchyism combined times infinity

Okay Thriller. Please do give us the history of price controls and their effectiveness. Even Obama’s economists have said it’s awful.

So when Kamala is asked by a reporter what she plans to do to help the average American who is struggling with high prices do you think she should answer with:
A. I aint gonna do a damn thing. I have no idea. I will hope and pray that everything just gets better as the market takes care of itself.

B. I'm going to tell people to buy less stuff hoping that businesses lower prices to encourage spending and also at the same time don't lower or stagnate wages.

C. I'm gonna give everyone more money!

D. I'm gonna fight against corporate America to try to force them to lower costs on things (like we did with insulin and junk fees for example)

Which of those responses do you think will get her more votes?

I had a terrific long post and my freaking browser refreshed. This site is hell on mobile.

Tbh we might actually need less food going forward. I hear birth rates are on the decline and boomers are old and plentiful (dying soon)

By the way, im not saying price control will work. Just saying that I don't think anything will work. Middle class will always just get by (unless a medical emergency, car wreck, layoff happens. Then they are ****ed), the poors will be ****ed, and the rich will thrive.

I don't see that ever changing by any policy any candidate comes up with. Americans demand the president to have answers and fixes to all their problems though so candidates have to give bull **** answers. I think it's dumb to criticize a politician for giving a bull **** answer when asked a question that doesn't have a non bull **** answer.

Sorry for asking a Google-able question but did Harris use the words price controls or did she say something else that basically means price controls?

I ask because it would have been stupid of her to say "price controls" in one of her first policy statements.

Come now vermin. You and I both know your god doesn’t plan to just “deport the illegals.” He’s planning to deport all of those who poison the blood of our country. This will include asylum seekers, DREAMers, and political opponents. You don’t make a career being a racist, surround yourself with racists, and run an explicitly racist campaign and get to pretend to be serious about merely “deporting the illegals.”

Stop treating us like we’re stupid and I’ll stop treating you as a child.

Okay Ricky, please do give us the history of forced deportations. I’ll wait. :)

This is why learning history is so important. And not just the crackpot propaganda by project 1776 or whatever white nationalists want to stuff down our throats.

Good question.
Looks like bucknutz brought it up without any context or link and then provided an old looking video of some old dude being critical of price control. (I didn't actually click on the video to be fair)

Then I guess Randy responded to that also with no link or context.

I Have no idea what Kamala actually said or what her actual ideas are to curb inflation at this point.

Price control works when it comes in the form of breaking up monopolies and in scenarios where, as Fish brought up, only a tiny number of companies control the overwhelming majority of the supply.

The free market fails under those scenarios, and, if left unchecked, just results in a small handful of people profiting massively while everybody else loses.

Whoa whoa whoa.

I haven’t called you any names. I don’t think I deserve to be called a vermin, but you do you.

Trump and Vance have stated multiple times that only illegal immigrants will be deported. Trump is not my god, and I would very much appreciate you not saying that again. On multiple occasions I have spoken against him personally, and his policies. I don’t think you’re stupid. We just disagree on a lot, but that doesn’t mean you need to have the vitriol that you do.
