<p>Vice President Kamala Harris was slammed on Wednesday evening after her campaign announced that she would be revealing leftist price control measures to rein in inflation.</p>
<p>Harris helped spark the crisis three years ago when she cast the tie-breaking vote that moved President Joe Biden&#8217;s American Rescue Plan forward in the U.S. Senate. Inflation rates skyrocketed within weeks of the bill being signed into law.</p>
<p>Harris is seeking to follow in Biden&#8217;s footsteps by continuing the Biden-Harris administration&#8217;s policy of blaming &#8220;corporate greed&#8221; for the pain that consumers feel when shopping — a cynical and dishonest ploy designed to take advantage of people&#8217;s emotions who do not understand the root cause of inflation.</p>
<p>Harris will impose &#8220;the first-ever federal ban on corporate price-gouging&#8221; on grocers, left-wing NBC News reporter Yamiche Alcindor posted on X. Harris will “impose stiff penalties in the food industry,” the campaign said.</p>
<p>Harris&#8217;s policy, the first original policy she has rolled out during her campaign after her first policy was one she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamala-harris-steals-trumps-no-tax-on-tips-policy-proposal">stole</a> from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, drew instant comparisons to price controls used by the Soviet Union that only temporarily slowed prices from rising but resulted in drastic shortages of food and consumer goods.</p>
<p><b><a href="http://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1723312978172000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1Kuw7_CFpxtIaxl4Gay5PU">WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — A MATT WALSH COMEDY ON DEI</a></b></p>
<p>&#8220;Kamala Harris is literally proposing price controls on food,&#8221; said RealClearPolitics senior writer Mark Hemingway. &#8220;This is literally what the Soviets did and the results will be scarcity and higher costs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Helen Raleigh, an immigrant from communist China, responded to Harris&#8217; policy by writing on X: &#8220;Government-imposed price control is a terrible idea because it makes the economy worse by causing shortages. Everyone who survived socialism/communism knows this: if the store shelves are empty, it doesn&#8217;t matter how low the government claims the price of bread is.&#8221;</p>

<p>Republican strategist Matt Whitlock responded to the news: &#8220;So Kamala Harris is going to (pretend to) counter the high prices (she caused) by instituting some kind of communist government price controls on grocery stores. Absurd.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;A federal ban on price gouging! Why didn’t anyone think of that before?&#8221; author David Bernstein mockingly asked. &#8220;We can just order prices to come down by government fiat! What could go wrong?&#8221;</p>
<p>Popular conservative X account AG posted: &#8220;So instead of dealing with the actual sources of inflation, the Harris plan is going to be to continue to pretend price increases are a result of price gouging in an industry with razor thin margins.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Her first policy proposal was straight theft of a lower common denominator pander to one electorally significant demo,&#8221; said National Review writer Noah Rothman. &#8220;Her second is an attack on market signals that incentivize firms to meet specific demands. This isn’t a high minded campaign.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another popular account on X posted: &#8220;Oh my god… In Kamala’s first ever policy speech on Friday she’s going to announce… price controls. Welcome to Kamalanomics.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Kamala Harris is running a marketing campaign for president that isn&#8217;t even attempting to provide any real substance,&#8221; another user posted. &#8220;This is another example of how she&#8217;s trying to win over voters with gimmicks and &#8216;vibes&#8217; that won&#8217;t amount to much but creates a villain to run against.&#8221;</p>
