Kamala to call for grocery price controls and some see clear communism coming

August 16, 2024 | | Print Article

Democrat nominee Kamala Harris is set to roll out her economic policy on Friday and one of the cornerstones sounds a lot like communism to some people.

In her first major speech, since she was installed as the Democratic Party’s replacement for the senile Joe Biden, the veep will deliver remarks in Raleigh, NC, and will take her lame duck boss’s scapegoating of grocery chains for the rampant inflation created by the team’s policies to another level by proposing a ban on “price gouging.”

According to her campaign, Harris will propose a federal ban on “corporate price-gouging in the food and grocery industries,” a move that would replace free markets with ideological bureaucrats backed by the coercive power of the U.S. government.

“There’s a big difference between fair pricing in competitive markets, and excessive prices unrelated to the costs of doing business,” the campaign said in a statement. “Americans can see that difference in their grocery bills.”

The plan will reportedly single out the “highly consolidated” meat-packing industry at a time when the climate doomsday cult has declared a war on beef, claiming that cow flatulence is a major cause of the impending global warming apocalypse.

But to some, “Kamalot” sounds a lot like communism.

Government-imposed price controls have had ruinous effects on countries that have embraced such measures with one example being once-prosperous Venezuela which took the great socialist leap of faith and it wasn’t long until the economy collapsed and starving people were eating pets and zoo animals.

“We call it the ‘Maduro plan,’ like something straight out of Venezuela or the Soviet Union,” said former President Donald J. Trump at a Thursday press conference, referring to the Latin American nation’s socialist leader Nicolas Maduro, adding that Harris’s economic plan “is an admission that her economic policies have totally failed and caused really a catastrophe for our country, and beyond that, a catastrophe in the world.”

Harris’s policy is even too radical for the Washington Post.

“Kamala is quite literally a communist,” wrote Elon Musk on X earlier this month, now she seems determined to prove him right.
