You likely subscribe to the Washington Post, because you have to pay to see this story. 2.) You link to a Washingto Post story, from a news source that MAGAturds around here loathe and dismiss. 3.) You're underscoring that perhaps the Post isn't as left-leaning as MAGAturds claim. 4.) This piece puts the price-gouging blame on the grocery companies, not directly on the executive office. The opinion piece seems kind of whiny about not getting plan details that were requested. That same opinion could be applied to the generalties in Trump's platform, which seriously lacks "how" details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,777 Posted August 16, 2024 OK regarding the price controls: some of you guys need to wake up. Kamala is playing politics here, just like she and Trump are playing politics with removing the tax on tips. None of this is going to happen. Neither Trump nor Kamala have the necessary people in Congress to make this happen- certainly not the price controls. In emergency that can be done by executive order (see WWII) but it’s temporary and extremely unlikely because it leads to shortages. It won’t happen. You guys need to stop wasting time on this and discuss the proposals that actually could happen. For example if Trump is elected he really could do his disastrous tariff thing because a lot of that is based on executive authority and he doesn’t need Congress. If Kamala is elected she can do the housing proposal, maybe, because I can see a bipartisan majority going for it. That’s why this stuff is worth discussing. IMO, price controls and removing tip taxes aren’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we’re going to invest in the economy there is no better way than to invest in homebuying. It’s the key to everything else. This is exactly what we did after World War II with the GI Bill which created the greatest boom in human history. Sorry if you’re too short-sided to see that.
