Blow job Harris doesn't understand how pricing works. Let's start at the beginning.
The Biden administration refuses to allow drilling for oil (the cheapest fuel source) and raises taxes on oil businesses.
Oil businesses pass along the tax by raising the price of fuel and oil.
That bleeds to transportation, which bleeds to production, which bleeds back to transportation of goods to stores, which bleeds to price increases at the stores, which gets taxed by the government.
If she wants to curb the rise of food prices, she should stop pushing green energy and let the oil companies drill again. Let the oil flow, let the fuel flow, and watch the prices drop as the cost of fuel lessens, which leads to the rest.
But instead, Blow Job Harris and Coward Walz want to lock prices, which will lead to businesses closing, fewer choices, and black markets.
First, it’s usually Congress that lays the foundation for an imperial presidency with unconstitutional delegations of authority to the executive branch. The Economic Stabilization Act of 1970 gave Nixon legislative cover for his actions.
The act was “a political dare,” according to top Nixon official George Shultz — the Democrats thought Nixon wouldn’t use the powers they’d granted him, but he called their bluff.
Second, the damage presidents do with economic powers they shouldn’t have can take years to repair. Price hikes from the 1973 Arab oil embargo made it politically difficult to unwind controls on gasoline, which led to the gas lines of the late 1970s.
Third, the episode shows the enduring relevance of cartoonist Walt Kelly’s Pogo Principle: “We have met the enemy and he is us.” As noted, the freeze was overwhelmingly popular. “Bold” presidential action on the economy often is, even when “just stand there — don’t do something!” would be wiser counsel.
In the recent debt-limit fight, for example, liberal Democrats who’d spent eight years railing against Bush’s executive unilateralism begged Obama to break the law and unilaterally raise the debt ceiling, using a fig leaf of a constitutional argument based on the 14th Amendment.
Occasionally, though, we learn something from our mistakes. As Shultz told Nixon in 1973, at least the debacle had convinced everyone “that wage-price controls are not the answer.”
Ironically, Nixon’s actions also helped galvanize an emerging libertarian movement opposed to the bipartisan welfare-warfare state. “I remember the day very clearly,” Rep. Ron Paul, R‑Texas, recalled in 2001, saying the events of Aug. 15, 1971, drove the reluctant young obstetrician into politics.
For years, Paul waged a one-man war against economic nostrums and presidential command and control. Lately, though — with the rise of the Tea Party and his strong showing in the Ames straw poll — he’s not looking so lonely anymore.
It really does't matter what type of souse you guys use. Communism, Capitalism, Liberalism, Socialism and so on.
As long as the herd of modern moron slaves are under the Shadow of the Secular Ruling Families & Billionaires it DOES NOT MATTER the jester you dumb fucks "vote" for.
After all the SRF & Billionaires ALREADY have PRICE CONTROLS running in the "economy", and I for sure don't see you MMS/3i's complaining about that!
Price controls were tried in the 1970s, with disastrous results. Harris should do her homework - but of course she won’t.
Of course none of it is directly related to the insane currency devaluation policies of the CURRANT ADMINISTRATION....
