Dems Secretly Tell Grocery Reps: Price Controls Will Never Pass Congress

Democrat lawmakers are in damage-control mode over Kamala’s signature price-control policy

Democrat lawmakers have been seeking to allay fears about Kamala Harris’s price-control policy by telling grocery industry representatives that price controls will never pass Congress.

Alarm has grown within the grocery sector over the Vice President’s plan to impose central controls on food prices, and among the general public.

Congressional Democrats and aides spoke to Politico under condition of anonymity and said they believe price controls and bills to combat price gouging have no chance of passing Congress.

“I honestly still don’t know how this would work,” said one Democratic lawmaker.

Politico reports that the “backlash has tempered Harris allies’ initial push to paint the proposal as a bold, progressive idea. Since introducing the price gouging plan, her advisers have sought to soften criticism of the proposal by downplaying its overall impact on the market — and emphasizing that the goal is simply to target a small cohort of potential ‘bad actors,’ rather than generate the kind of sweeping overhaul suggested by the plan’s initial rollout.”

Lawmakers have been telling critics and insiders that instead of being a clear policy promise, Harris’s proposals are simply “messaging.” What Harris is actually doing is trying  “to show that she understands food prices remain an economic burden for many Americans and to redirect voters’ anger about inflation to corporations, in a way that progressives in particular have cheered.”

Donald Trump has seized on the plan and labelled the Vice President a “communist” and “Comrade Kamala.” Kamunism was a recent New York Post headline, and #Kamunism has been trending on Twitter.

Trump has also claimed that Harris is doing her best to pretend that she is not currently the Vice President, to make it look as if he is responsible for the current economic situation.

“Kamala and her ‘handlers’ are trying to make it sound like I am the Incumbent President, so that they can blame me for the failure of the past four years,” the former president Tweeted on Sunday.

“No, it was their failure! It is one of the worst Presidencies in History, and she is definitely the Worst Vice President.”

Trump followed that Tweet with three further Tweets where he highlighted the disastrous effects on the economy and individual freedom if Kamala Harris wins the election.

“If you think things are expensive now, they will get 100 times WORSE if Kamala gets four years as President. Under her plan, Kamala will implement SOVIET Style Price Controls. She will abolish private health care, and make California’s ridiculous tax policies the law of the land, meaning EVERY American will be taxed up to 80% of their income! If you want more CASH and less TAX, VOTE TRUMP!!!”
