Kamala Harris's Economic Moves: Curbing Inflation or Stifling Growth?

Get Off My Lawn! - The Mad Ramblings of a Gen X-er

Is it possible to rein in corporate greed and inflation without causing more harm than good? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion as we scrutinize Kamala Harris's economic plan and its ambitious measures to control corporate pricing, particularly in the grocery sector. We challenge the feasibility of proving price gouging and consider the broader implications of Harris's proposed tax credits and healthcare initiatives. By drawing parallels with the economic landscape during Jimmy Carter's administration, we highlight the potential pitfalls of government intervention and question the practicality of these initiatives.
We'll also take a closer look at the recent inflationary pressures, including the impact of the Russia-Ukraine war, supply chain disruptions, and government stimulus measures. The episode explores whether Harris's plans to aid renters and expand housing supply can genuinely alleviate the ongoing housing market challenges. Moreover, we discuss the unsettling trend of corporations passing the cost of fines onto consumers, leading to further price hikes. As we wrap up, we'll leave you pondering an eerie phenomenon: a mysterious fish off the coast of California that some consider an omen. Stay tuned for Monday's episode where we'll dive deeper into this intriguing topic.
