Vice President Kamala Harris‘s plan to address so-called “price-gouging” in the grocery sector and other industries is a misguided effort at expansive government control over private industry. It is straight out of the Marxist playbook, and it would have disastrous results for our country.

Harris is correct that grocery store prices are far higher today than they were at the beginning of the Biden administration. As just one example, consumer food prices were 26% higher in July than they were five years earlier. However, Harris has blamed corporate greed, rather than government overreach, as the primary driver of this inflation. She says that further government interventions offer the solution to the problem of corporate greed.
