If Biden Saved the Economy, Why Do We Need Harris’s Price Controls? "After all the talk of abortion rights, protecting democracy, and how “fun” Vice President Kamala Harris apparently is, the first night of the Democratic National Convention culminated with a celebration of President Joe Biden’s four years in office.
"Biden “recovered all those millions of jobs that [Donald] Trump watched slip away,” Sen. Dick Durbin (D–Ill.) declared. Biden “rebuilt the economy” after the pandemic put it “flat on its back,” intoned Sen. Chris Coons (D–Conn.), a longtime Biden stan [sic].
"Biden himself put the cherry on top. “We’ve had one of the most extraordinary four years of progress ever,” the president said. “We gone from economic crisis to the strongest economy in the entire world,” he claimed, pointing to job creation figures, economic growth, higher wages, and “inflation down, way down, and continuing to go down.”
"If so, someone should probably tell Vice President Kamala Harris about all that.
"Just four days ago, Harris outlined plans for gigantic government interventions in the economy, including price controls. In what was billed as the first major policy speech of her hastily assembled campaign, Harris promised to implement the “first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries” and to take other actions to empower the federal government to “bring down costs.”
"(There’s been some debate in the days since her speech about whether it is fair to say Harris has called for price controls, but economist Brian Albretch has laid out clearly why she in fact did, writing that “any policy that gives the government the power to decide what price increases are ‘fair’ or ‘unfair’ is effectively a price control system. It doesn’t matter if you call it ‘anti-gouging,’ ‘fair pricing,’ or ‘consumer protection’—the effect is the same. When bureaucrats, not markets, determine acceptable prices, we’re dealing with price controls.”)"

. . ."Democrats replaced the patrons with actors for the campaign stop in an effort to mimic President Trump’s ability to stop at a fast-food joint to draw cheers from surprised customers. Shame on Primanti for allowing this. Shame on other news outlets for not reporting this.
"But we have no shame anymore in America, which is, well, a shame.
"Kamala and Tampon Tim are disastrous candidates who never won a single primary vote for the office as Democrats appeal to the lowest common denominator with a couple of zeroes. They are the Cackler and the Coward.
"Democrats spin the tag team’s lack of seriousness as joy, but their election puts our nation at great risk." . . .
