Harris’s proposed economic policy is so nutty that even the CNN couldn’t stay silent:
No part of her economic policy proposal is remotely sensible. This is what hiring from among the pronoun crowd gets you. Airheaded, infantile suggestions that even the US Pravda can’t endorse.
It beggars belief that we are seriously discussing this lisping childishness in year 2024.

Oh come on, Clarissa, you just aren’t old enough to remember what a great success Nixon’s price controls were back in the 1970’s.

No, I didn’t know that Nixon tried it. I googled it and wasn’t surprised by what I found. I also noticed that people are googling this a lot, so hopefully something is sinking in.

Forty years ago this week, President Richard Nixon showed us just how dangerous unchecked executive power can be to the free-enterprise system.
As Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman correctly predicted, however, Nixon’s gambit ended “in utter failure and the emergence into the open of the suppressed inflation.”
it was obvious that price controls didn’t work: “Ranchers stopped shipping their cattle to the market, farmers drowned their chickens, and consumers emptied the shelves of supermarkets.”
it’s usually Congress that lays the foundation for an imperial presidency with unconstitutional delegations of authority to the executive branch.
the damage presidents do with economic powers they shouldn’t have can take years to repair.
