'Gimmicks' and Price 'Gauging': WaPo Editorial Board Blasts Kamanomics

All Joe Biden and now Harris have in their repertoire to deal with the inflation they created through gimmicks are even more demand-side gimmicks, free cash rather than the bread and circuses of old.

That's what makes yesterday's blast from the Washington Post's editorial board so surprising: Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech Friday was an opportunity to get specific with voters about how a Harris presidency would manage an economy that many feel is not working well for them.

Actually, Kamala Harris promised to go after "price gauging."

Kamala Harris simply did a Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V on Bidenomics, which consists of nothing but incoherence and gimmicks.

But why is the Washington Post editorial board going out of its way to rip Harris?

She vowed to go after “price gouging” by grocery stores, landlords, pharmaceutical companies and other supposed corporate perpetrators by having the Federal Trade Commission enforce a vaguely defined “federal ban on price gouging.” Never mind that many stores are currently slashing prices in response to renewed consumer bargain hunting.

SANCHEZ: So not a fan of the price gouging ban portion of her proposals.
