Harris’ Big Plan For Price Controls:
The Economy’s Next Big Disaster?

Original Article

Posted By: RockyTCB, 8/17/2024 10:23:07 AM

We’re finally getting some inkling of what the Democrats’ anointed presidential candidate Kamala Harris has in store for Americans when it comes to the economy. It’s not good. Indeed, it’s a disaster in the making, one that would set the U.S. economy back decades, destroy businesses, create shortages and lead to even higher prices. Harris has a big problem. She’s the No. 2 official in an administration that many economists consider the worst in decades. How do you escape that? Of course, you deny it’s your fault, then promise radical, unworkable new policies to replace the old failed ones. The ol’ switcheroo.

My theory . . . going back to the 2008 election . . . is that Zerobama's goal was to transform America into a socialist workers' "paradise"-type banana republic a la Cuba and Venezuela. Zero made a lot of "progress" towards this goal during his two terms, and then accelerated the process under this third term with his sock puppet, Joe Xiden. Under Harris, if elected, his now fourth term will finally achieve his dream.

Wage & price controls bring shortages. Shortages bring rationing. Rationing brings (more) corruption. It's a train wreck. No Republican will survive this kind of thing. But then there is always ballot fraud.

I'm old enough to remember Nixon's wage and price controls from '71 and also remember the disasterous affect it had on the inflation it was supposed to control. The only thing that saved his skin (to a degree) was '73's Arab oil embargo which jacked the price of gas through the roof world wide.

Don't be fooled by corrupt politicians or complicit corrupt corporate media. If Dems wanted to prioritize more housing for struggling Americans, why would they INVITE the 10 to 20 million "newcomers" now living rent free into our country, when we already had a housing shortage and the needs of our own citizens weren't being met? As for price gouging, who in their right mind would believe Dems have a clue about preventing government waste? Kamala was the last person in the room when the dementia-ridden Biden left $90 billion dollars in US military equipment behind in Afghanistan. We give away money around the world and get nothing for it because Dems allow US taxpayers to be taken to the cleaners.

I remember pictures in the newspaper, yes I'm that old, of Russians lining up in long, long lines to buy bread. The story underneath said if the bakery ran out before the end of the line, those people would just have to come back the next day and wait again. I didn't understand, for a long time, why that was. Now I do. If you take the capitalism out of the deal, why should a baker make lots and lots of bread to sell. He'll never make more than the government says he can. That's what Harris is planning here.

That's why we need government-run grocery stores. Monday, they sell potatoes and onions. Tuesday, they sell bread and cereal. Wednesday, they sell chicken and eggs. Thursday, they sell TP and cleaning products. Friday, they sell beef and anything leftover from the week. The government decides when and what you can buy, the price and the quantity.

The Climate Of Lies Keeps Getting Hotter 12 replies

The New York Times recently published a long story warning that the planet’s climate tipping points are frighteningly near. The “great systems in the natural world,” the reporters say, “might be pushing toward collapse” due to man’s use of fossil fuel. Maybe so. Or the changes we’re seeing in the climate might be entirely natural. But that won’t sell papers to a readership that suffers from a chronic and intellectually stunting case of confirmation bias. The Times wants us to worry about the mass death of coral reefs, the abrupt thawing of permafrost, the collapse of Greenland ice, the breakup of West Antarctic ice, a sudden shift in the West African monsoon,

This week a coalition of leftist groups released an ad for Kamala Harris that contains what the New York Times describes as the “unified message from the left.” What is the message? The election is all about “our freedom” – by which they mean their freedom, not yours. As the Times puts it, leftist groups tested its “freedom” messaging in the 2022 midterms to “reclaim the language about freedom and personal liberty,” which they say helped “blunt what had been expected to be a sweeping victory for Republicans.” As we noted in this space recently, Harris has been talking up the

The Democratic talking points were issued and the media enthusiastically accommodated: The Harris-Walz campaign is now a moveable feast of joy. But there’s nothing even remotely joyful about Kamala Harris’ and Tim Walz’s political orientation. Their positions are founded on militancy and just plain meanness. The media are nothing but shills for the Democratic Party. They are so willing to please that they will run with whatever theme the party tells them to. Take a look at recent headlines. “Harris Used to Worry About Laughing. Now Joy Is Fueling Her Campaign,” says the New York Times.

In the three weeks since Joe Biden handed her the nomination, Kamala Harris spent a total of 70 seconds in front of reporters and issued one specific promise, which she stole from Donald Trump. This is the first presidential campaign in history that appears to be guided by Nancy Pelosi’s line about Obamacare: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.” At her brief stop before a handful of reporters while boarding Air Force Two, one of them oh-so-politely asked Harris when she’d sit down for a press interview. Her answer: “I’ve

The Democratic Party’s mess will be hard to clean up. By pushing Vice President Kamala Harris forward as the official candidate, and deep-sixing President Joe Biden’s campaign, it’s created a political mess. It’s the party’s fault for lying about Biden’s obvious mental decline. Who’s to blame? The I&I/TIPP Poll has some answers. Things have gotten worse for the Democrats, not better, with the selection of far-left Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as Harris’ running mate, after the somewhat more moderate Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania backed out of the running. Apparently, as a Jew, Shapiro didn’t have the stomach to hear extremist, pro-terrorist Democrat

It can’t be denied that Kamala Harris is a midwit, a jabbering cackler and an unaccomplished office holder, all of which should be pointed out aggressively between now and Nov. 5. But the Trump campaign has to make even more noise about the economy. James Carville was right when he famously said “it’s the economy, stupid,” and there’s much about this one that isn’t healthy. Carville, a Bill Clinton strategist, insisted that the 1992 campaign to unseat President George H.W. Bush was about the country’s economy. As Nov. 3 approached, “Americans were in a sour mood about the direction of

There’s a reason nobody expected far-left Kamala Harris to pick a far-left governor from a deep blue state as her running mate. It’s never worked. In the wake of Jimmy Carter’s crushing defeat in 1980 and repeated Democratic losses thereafter, the party decided that to win presidential elections they had to at least appear as moderates. Bill Clinton won by labeling himself a “new Democrat” and picked Al Gore, then a fellow moderate Southerner. Gore in turn tapped Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Barack Obama tried to position himself to the right of John McCain and ran with Scranton Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton picked

If you didn’t know any better, you might think that Kamala Harris was running against some guy named “Project 2025.” She brings it up in every speech. Her campaign has said that “Project 2025” is on the ballot. But it’s not the lies she and the media are spreading about Project 2025. It’s the fact that Harris doesn’t have one herself that should trouble voters most. [snip] Trump and his campaign have repeatedly made it clear that this isn’t his agenda. And, indeed, he has detailed plans posted on his campaign website – not to mention a track record of success as president. But Harris? She has no policy agenda whatsoever. None.

Now that the Democratic Party officials have decided that Vice President Kamala Harris, and not primary-winner President Joe Biden or anyone else, will be their nominee, how will she fare against former President Donald Trump? Right now, the contest is a tossup, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows. The data suggest that Harris might be enjoying an initial polling “honeymoon,” typical after a new face enters a race and voters haven’t had time to assess their candidacy. It was just two weeks ago that the Democratic National Committee elbowed Biden (who was badly flagging in the polls) out of the race

The presidential campaign for Kamala Harris is now including special pronoun options for job applicants, as part of their commitment to diversity and inclusion. The job application for the Harris campaign includes nine different options for pronouns, including 'xe/xem,' 'ze/hir,' 'ey/em,' 'fae/faer' and 'hu/hu.' 'Fae/faer,' indicates a gender-fluid person but non-masculine, sometimes of Celtic origin. 'Hu/hu,' pronouns are third person gender-neutral pronouns referring to both a man and a woman. The other pronouns are considered gender neutral.

However, the city is bracing for the chaos of up to 100,000 pro-Hamas protesters flooding the streets and has instituted new courtroom procedures to streamline the process in the event of mass arrests. It is also hoping to avoid the bad optics of the 1968 DNC convention that saw then-Mayor Richard J.

A plot to steal the 2024 election from President Trump is well underway, and not just by suppressing information online or dragging Trump through the court system. Those are instances of throwing anything and everything at the wall hoping something sticks, but not the master plan. The real plots have a much more direct impact on the election results rather than just swaying voter perception. We know this because those behind these plots are openly revealing them. A recent joint CISA and FBI press release warned of potential “attacks on election infrastructure that support election operations, which could hinder public access to election information.”

Vice President Harris is holding a narrow lead over former President Trump ahead of the Democratic National Convention next week, according to a new poll. The ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll found Harris has 49 percent of support among registered voters while Trump has 45 percent and 5 percent said they would back someone else. This shows Harris pulling ahead, as a previous ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted last month showed President Biden and Trump tied at 46 percent of support each. Harris also holds a thin lead over Trump when third-party candidates are added to the mix. The poll showed Harris with 47 percent of support, Trump with 44 percent

Axios headline, April 12: “New data shows violent crime dropping sharply in major U.S. cities.” That assertion, the article merrily stated, “puts a serious dent in one of the most frequently used lines of attack by former President Trump and his allies, who have sought to tie Democrats to the issue since 2020.” And it comes surely by coincidence as freshly anointed Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris gives herself a makeover as a hard ass on crime rather than the effusive “defund the police” candidate she ran as in 2020.

At a meeting in July, the board advanced a proposal that would require three separate poll workers to count ballots at voting precincts on election night to make sure they match the number of ballots recorded by voting machines. That proposal has been posted for public comment and the board is set to vote Monday whether to adopt it.

The DNC Convention starts tomorrow. I have been requested to repost “THE BIG WHY” explanation. When we understand just how much corruption was needed in the weaponization of the modern IC, we start to understand why the effort to hide it will continue. President Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum. This point is where many people understandably get confused.
