The problem in my book is that even if you believe Trump would do all of that an
d you happened to dislike the idea, Harris' plan for mending household economy i
s imposing price caps on domestic products.
Price capping is one of those things that sound great, lots of people have tried
it, and it has ended up generating a lot of scarcity issues among the capped pr
oducts. Even right-wings groups have been burnt with price capping.
Price capping is a thing that kept Spain in the dirt up to the late 50s. IMO a c
andidate that says she wants to cap the price of food is about as good as a cand
idate that says she wants to detonate all the nuclear weapons she has in their s
ilos.
