Harris’s Call for Price Controls on Groceries Is More Pandering than Policy
==========
Vice President Kamala Harris called for a federal ban on 'price gouging' on groceries in a speech on August 22, 2024; Steven B. Kamin critiques this proposal, highlighting that grocery stores have low profit margins of 2 percent or less, making them unsuitable for price controls; Kamin argues that the proposal reflects a lack of serious discussion on economic issues with American voters.
