If price controls work, why did Biden not implement them?

[Votto]

Anyone?

Has Biden said they work?

Why would he not do it now?

If they are so certain it would work, I would think they would demonstrate it now and show everyone

But as we all know, it's just fodder for the simpletons, the only answer to inflation they have, as lame as it is.

Kamala Harris allies say plan to ban ‘price gouging’ has been misconstrued​

Vice President Kamala Harris’s proposal last week to ban price gouging in certain sectors has spurred backlash from some Democratic economists, provoked consternation among business groups and emerged quickly as a focus of Donald Trump’s on the campaign trail.

Harris’s allies, however, are arguing both publicly and privately that her plans have been taken out of context, and that the idea is a targeted expansion of existing state powers rather than new government “price controls” that would transform the U.S. economy.

In a statement released last week, the Harris campaign called for the “first-ever” ban on price gouging in the grocery and food industries. The campaign provided few details about how such a prohibition would work in practice but said it would enable the Federal Trade Commission to impose large fines on “excessive” price hikes.

In the days since, advisers to Harris and several Democratic lawmakers have sought to mollify the criticism by seeking to downplay the radicalism of an idea they say is already in effect in states across the country. They have stressed that most states already have rules that make price hikes illegal in certain contexts, such as in the aftermath of a natural disaster or other calamity. They pointed out that Trump had used the Defense Production Act during the pandemic to crack down on price gouging of critical medical supplies, and that Harris, as California’s attorney general, had already pursued charges against prescription drug companies and firms that had conspired to keep the prices of electronics high.

So is Biden already doing what Kamala would do, or does Kamala want to do something Joe Biden is not doing?

The goal posts keep shifting

Funny that.

Don't bother trying to salvage your thread. It's toast.

 

[Maxdeath]

So now the Democrat party is attempting to walk back what Harris claimed she would do on day one if she won the presidency.
You really have to love the party of the low IQ. Thier leader makes a platform statement and when it backfires they try and play damage control.
I remember Clinton trying the price control scheme and it not working so well but hey it will be different this time because Harris will be in control

 

[Votto]

Don't bother trying to salvage your thread. It's toast.

In other words, Kamala and company won't answer.

Understood

No wonder she stopped giving interviews.

 

[22lcidw]

Who wants to use price controls?

You do. And you will. You lie and lie some more. Men and women who push Progressive Socialist Communism have to have that belief in their hearts. Some do. Many like the power and money they get. Joe does not believe that. Kamala may and is way over her head for President. Walz and his wife are psychotic radicals.

 

[hadit]

This sounds eerily familiar. I remember Quid Pro Joe coming out, mumbling some stuff that didn't make sense and the usual suspects rushing to the ramparts, desperately trying to explain that he really meant something he didn't actually say. It looks like they're trying the same tactic with Cackles.

Please link where I or Kamala are calling for price controls.

 

[Resnic]

Same reason why when gas was high it was Trump's fault, but when it comes down some he took credit for it.

Same reason why he couldn't do anything about border crossings, then suddenly says he has decreased it.

Because they think voters are stupid and have the memory span of a goldfish and anything they say we all automatically will just blindly believe without thought or hesitation.

I can't decide if they are so stupid they think we believe anything they say from one second to the next, or they think we're so stupid we believe anything from one second to the next

So, she's going to make new laws that already exist?!?

Because back then inflation was just transitory.

How does the government prevent price gouging without setting prices?

You failed to answer that in the other thread you posted this tripe.

 

[Rambunctious]

Kamala is lying she won't do shit to lower inflation because a poorer America is what democrat's want... they want dependency.....

[hadit]

Actually, these questions need to be asked of Harris at every opportunity:

"Given that you have been second in command in the administration for 4 years, why have you not implemented any of the things you now say you are going to implement?"
"Isn't the fact that you are proposing to fix certain things an admission that you and the previous administration have failed to address and fix them in the 4 years you've been in office?"

 

[hadit]

How does the government prevent price gouging without setting prices?

They're trying to pretend that Harris not actually uttering the words, "Price Controls" means she's not talking about price controls.

She has to say something

She has already admitted to all the unacceptable price increases, and must give voters some hope of change.

Naturally, no relief will come, but she has to be shown doing or saying something to address it, even though it will be ignored in the long run and somehow blamed on Trump.
