Some of their criticisms are justified. Price caps are a difficult thing to implement without unintended consequences. Probably needs some refinement.
I agree that her policies should be criticized, I am just surprised the media finally decided to do it.
You thought the honeymoon period would last forever?
Her sudden assent has been the story for a while, and it’s the story that matters to the media. But that was never going to work indefinitely. Now it’s going to be a case of what’s the sensible criticism vs what’s the bullshit?
I thought the press would continue campaigning for Harris as they have been since Biden's terrible debate. They've been making excuses for her not scheduling any interviews. I've seen some of them say that she doesn't owe the press anything, as if it is the press she needs to convince to vote for her. lol The media is a mess.
I think criticizing price controls is sensible. I don't think there is any evidence that grocery stores are "price gouging". idk about the housing market. I could be wrong, but I think one of the problems with housing is that banks buy up properties and then sit on them until there's a boom. I don't know what giving new home buyers $25,000 would do, maybe cause the price of housing to go up?
In Florida, we have price gouging laws. They're in place to stop a sudden increase in prices because of a hurricane. In the past, and sometimes even now, hotel and gas prices go up when people start evacuating. I think everyone realizes this is a shitty thing to do, and are glad about these laws, they only apply during a state of emergency.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8xqy0jv24oThe Democratic presidential nominee's plans build on ideas from the Biden administration and aim at addressing voter concerns after a surge in prices since 2021.
Many of the proposals would require action from Congress, where similar ideas have stalled in the past.
Donald Trump said the vice-president had already had more than three years with the administration to deliver her promises, which his campaign called "dangerously liberal".
"Where has she been and why hasn't she done it?" he asked.
Ms Harris hit back in a speech on Friday in North Carolina, stating: "I think that if you want to know who someone cares about, look at who they fight for.
"Donald Trump fights for billionaires and large corporations. I will fight to give money back to working and middle class Americans."
The campaign's proposals include a "first-ever" tax credit for builders of homes sold to first-time buyers, as well as up to $25,000 in down-payment assistance for "eligible" first time buyers, a move that her campaign estimated could reach four million households over four years.
I hate to say it, but Trump is right (not the "dangerously liberal" part). It's basically empty campaign promises.
The Biden administration is adamant that there hasn't been inflation, "a surge in prices" that lasts several years is inflation. They should try telling the truth. Lay it all out there. Kamala Harris is going to win, she can afford to be honest.
