Kamala goes full communist...

"My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rule and get ahead," she said. "We will help the food industry become more competitive." ~ Kamala Harris

Price controls, associated with centralized economic planning from governments, are a hallmark of communist and other command economies. In such systems, the government dictates prices for goods and services to stabilize the economy, ensure affordability, and prevent exploitation.

However, these controls can lead to unintended consequences, such as shortages, reduced incentives for production, and black markets.

Price controls can distort the economy by removing the natural price signals that guide supply and demand, leading to inefficiencies and a misallocation of resources. This centralized approach contrasts sharply with free-market economies, where prices are determined by competition and consumer choice.

It is important to remember that there is no official definition of price-gouging. Moreover, for the progressive communist Democrats, price gouging is any price that makes their policies look bad politically. Price controls have been tried in countries like Cuba, Venezuela, and Russia--with disastrous effects like long lines for rationed goods and abundance reserved for government officials and politically connected individuals. 

When an uber-left media outlet like the Washington Post calls you out, you have gone full commie...

Ask yourself why costs are so high now and not four years ago under the Trump Administration: it’s not greed; it’s government policy.

Inflation has been a hot topic in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, with rising grocery store costs, shrinking product sizes, and a more brutal job market. Many are quick to blame corporate greed, but the root cause of these economic challenges is not unchecked corporate avarice but rather the consequences of government policies driven by progressive communist Democrats.

The Inflation Surge: What’s Really Driving It?

Four years ago, the cost of living was significantly lower, and the word “inflation” wasn’t dominating headlines. So, what changed? The pandemic brought about unprecedented government intervention in the economy. In response to the crisis, governments worldwide, including in the U.S., injected massive amounts of money into the economy. Stimulus checks, unemployment benefits, and other financial aid were necessary to keep the economy afloat during the pandemic. However, the sudden increase in money supply without a corresponding increase in goods and services led to inflationary pressures.

When more money chases the same amount of goods, prices inevitably rise. This phenomenon, called demand-pull inflation, directly results from government policy. It’s not that companies suddenly become more greedy; they are responding to the increased demand and higher production costs caused by inflation.

Why are Costs So High Now? It’s Not Greed; it’s Government Policy Driven by Progressive Communist Democrat Politics and Political Corruption.

As inflation continues to squeeze household budgets, the progressive communist democrats are quick to blame corporate greed for rising prices, shrinking product sizes, and a more brutal job market. But the reality is no more complex than the factors that caused the problem. The root causes of these economic challenges are deeply intertwined with government policy, driven by progressive communist democrat partisan politics and, in many cases, the political corruption of politicians feathering their nests as they direct windfall profits to their special interest friends. These factors have led to a cascade of unintended but foreseeable consequences that affect all of us.

The Inflation Surge: How Progressive Communist Democrat Politics Caused a Disaster.

Four years ago, during the Trump Administration, the cost of living was significantly lower, and the word “inflation” was not at the forefront of our concerns. But since then, we have seen a surge in prices, and it’s not just due to economic factors; it’s driven by the malignancy of the progressive communist democrat’s agenda that seeks to purchase the support of their voter coalition that demands diversity, equity, and inclusion, in other words, communist wealth redistribution and equal outcomes for those who do not produce or contribute to society.

The Progressive Communist Democrats exploited the Communist Chinese Virus pandemic to create an unprecedented level of government intervention in the economy, passing massive stimulus packages, extended unemployment benefits, and other financial aid. While these measures may have been necessary to some extent, they were also heavily influenced by Progressive Communist Democrats’ politics.

Progressive communist democrat politicians were eager to capitalize on the crisis, often pushing through policies without considering the long-term economic impact. The sheer volume of money pumped into the economy, driven by the need to appease voters and purchase political favor, created a perfect storm for inflation. This wasn’t just about helping people in need—it was all about securing votes for progressive communist democrats and maintaining power.

Moreover, the decisions about where and how much money to spend were not always based on economic wisdom but on political calculations. Some regions and industries received more aid than others, not because they needed it more, but because they had more progressive communist democrat voters. This uneven distribution of resources further exacerbated economic imbalances, contributing to inflation.

Kamala Harris, The Deciding Vote for Blowout Spending.

In a pivotal moment for the Biden administration, Vice President Kamala Harris, a hardcore radical San Francisco communist, cast the deciding vote on H.R. 5376, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Senate was deadlocked at 50-50, with all Democrats supporting the bill and all Republicans opposing it. As President of the Senate, Harris exercised her constitutional role to break the tie, enabling the bill to pass. Her vote was crucial in advancing the legislation to address social infrastructure, climate change, healthcare costs, and tax policies, marking a significant victory for the progressive communist democrat agenda.

The bill, named initially the Build Back Better Act and later re-named the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, represented blowout spending, amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars. It exacerbated inflationary pressures rather than alleviated them. The infusion of such a large amount of government money into the economy has driven up demand without a corresponding increase in supply, further inflating prices across the board. Additionally, the bill’s tax hikes and increased regulatory burdens have added strain on businesses, potentially stifling economic growth and job creation. Far from reducing inflation, H.R. 5376 is a significant factor in the economic challenges currently facing American consumers and businesses.

Shrinking Packages: The Hidden Cost of Inflation

You’ve probably noticed that your favorite products are getting smaller while the prices stay the same or even increase. This tactic, known as “shrinkflation,” allows companies to manage rising production costs without directly increasing prices. But why are production costs rising now?

The answer again lies in government policy. The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, making it more expensive and difficult for companies to source raw materials and produce goods. In addition, regulatory changes and increased labor costs have added to the burden. As a result, companies are forced to raise prices or reduce the size of their products to maintain profitability. This isn’t greed; it’s a response to the economic environment shaped by the progressive communist democrat agenda.

The Scarcity of Entry-Level Jobs: A Consequence of Policies Like Open Borders and Living Wage Mandates, Not Greed.

Finding an entry-level job has become increasingly difficult, marking a stark contrast to the more robust job market of just four years ago under the Trump Administration. The labor market has been squeezed by a combination of factors, many of which are deeply rooted in the progressive communist democrat agenda.

The Communist Chinese Virus pandemic-induced economic shutdown led to massive layoffs and business closures. While the economy has been recovering, the job market has not rebounded as quickly, particularly for entry-level positions. Government policies, such as extended unemployment benefits, have inadvertently discouraged some from reentering the workforce, making it harder for businesses to find workers. This has created a gap in the labor market, especially for jobs that require minimal experience.

Moreover, the implementation of living wage mandates in various regions has made it more expensive for businesses to hire entry-level workers. This has led to fewer job opportunities as companies either automate tasks, reduce hiring, or increase the qualifications required for what were once entry-level positions. The result is a job market that is less accessible to those just starting or looking to gain experience.

Compounding these issues are progressive communist democrat policies related to open borders, which have also impacted the availability of entry-level jobs. The influx of illegal alien workers, often willing to work for lower wages and in less regulated conditions, has put additional pressure on the labor market. Businesses, particularly in construction, agriculture, and hospitality industries, may hire these workers instead of offering positions to legal residents at higher wages. This dynamic not only suppresses wages for entry-level positions but also reduces the number of available jobs for those legally authorized to work in the country.

These challenges are not the result of corporate greed but the outcome of progressive communist democrat interventions in our economy. The combination of open borders, living wage mandates, and extended unemployment benefits has created an environment where entry-level jobs are scarcer and more challenging to obtain. Rather than addressing the root causes of job market stagnation, progressive communist democrats would rather blame corporate greed and not paying their fair share of taxes under the tax codes they themselves have passed at the behest of special interests.

Bottom Line…

It’s easy for Kamala Harris and her cadre of progressive communist democrats to point fingers at corporations and blame greed for the economic challenges we’re facing today. However, a closer look reveals that the policy decisions of the Biden Administration, in which Harris participated, are at the root of America’s economic and social woes.

Americans cannot literally afford to allow Kamala Harris and her fellow travelers to assume power. We must get out the vote. We must vote early to avoid the Democrat-induced glitches on election day. And we must win the House, Senate, and Presidency by unassailable margins that overcome any progressive communist Democrat election fraud.

Otherwise, we are screwed, and our nation is lost for a generation—possibly never to return.
