(sniff-sniff) Harris promises to lower the cost of living

But she doesn’t say how.

So let me guess. … will Democrats try to impose price control on American businesses?

Don't you remember when Nixon imposed wage and price controls?

"Nixon issued Executive Order 11615 (pursuant to the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970), imposing a 90-day freeze on wages and prices in order to counter inflation. This was the first time the U.S. government had enacted wage and price controls since World War II."

@Diotrephes 7Do you really think Harris would impose a wage freeze? When was the last time you heard a Democrat, any Democrat rant about greedy union workers or overpaid dock workers, or health care workers pay their fair in taxes? :)

@Heartlander The Dems have been trying to increase the average worker's pay. But Nixon showed that the President can implement wage and price controls by executive order.
