COMRADE KAMALA – Kamala Harris unveiled a government price fixing scheme today that's more reminiscent of a third-world regime than the United States.

Who said it, Comrade Maduro or Comrade Kamala? “I have given precise instructions to tackle speculation by those sectors of the economy that do not want to cooperate with the country…All the mechanisms to regulate and monitor production, costs and prices are activated.”

It’s hard to tell with Kamala officially proposing a “Maduro Plan” of price controls. Price controls have been tried – and failed – throughout history as they inevitably lead to food lines, shortages, and skyrocketing inequality among citizens.

We've seen this bad movie many times before:

• The Guardian: Price controls and scarcity force Venezuelans to turn to the black market for milk and toilet paper
• CNN: Think corporate greed is the leading cause of inflation? Think again
• Reuters: Venezuela sets new price controls, with eggs costing more than a month's wages
• The New York Times: Price controls on food are usually futile, economists warn
• World Bank Group: Price Controls Good Intentions, Bad Outcomes
• The New York Times: With Venezuelan Food Shortages, Some Blame Price Controls
• Financial Times: Mexico imposes price controls on food
• The Hill: The unnecessary revival of price controls should worry us all
• Reuters: Bahamas to introduce price controls on dozens of key food staples
• American Enterprise Institute: Food Fight and The Failure of Price Controls
• The Wall Street Journal: Russia Imposes Antihoarding, Price-Control Measures
• Associated Press: North Korea wants more control over farming amid food shortage
• The New York Times: Chávez Threatens to Jail Price Control Violators
• BBC: Food price cap will not make a difference
• CNN: France announces more food price caps, takes aim at multinational firms
• CNN: China imposes price controls to stave off inflation
• Newsweek: The High Cost of Price Controls
• Reuters: Cuban government imposes price controls as it seeks to keep lid on inflation

Even the Federal Reserve says “corporate greed” is not to blame for high prices. In reality, Kamala’s inflationary spending is responsible. Since Harris took office:

• Car insurance is up 54%;
• Hotels are up 51.2%;
• Gas is up 50.5%;
• Fuel oil is up 49.1%;
• Transportation is up 32.9%;
• Electricity is up 31.7%;
• Baby food is up 30.1%;
• Eating out is up 23%;
• Airfare is up 22.6%;
• Rent is up 22%;
• Groceries are up 21.6%.

The only way back to prosperity is electing President Donald J. Trump in November. Click here to share or for more information.

A MAJOR ENDORSEMENT – The Milwaukee Police Association endorsed President Trump and J.D. Vance today!

EVEN WAPO – Even the liberal Washington Post is calling out Comrade Kamala’s terrible, communist policies.

When Democrats lose the Washington Post, you know it’s bad!

VOTE TRUMP FOR PROSPERITY – In case you missed it, President Trump laid out his vision to lower prices, increase wages, end the regulatory onslaught, and empower the American people during yesterday’s press conference on the economy.

Under President Trump, inflation was low, energy prices where affordable, real wages were rising, and the American Dream was more achievable than ever. Vote Trump to Make America Wealthy, Affordable, and Prosperous Again!

DAY 26 – Kamala Harris has gone 26 days and counting without holding an interview or press conference! Team Trump has ten questions Kamala must answer:

1. As vice president, you cast the tie-breaking votes on the two bills that led to the worst inflation in 40 years-costing the typical American family $28,000 dollars. Do you finally accept that your enormous federal spending under these two pieces of federal legislation has led to historic inflation?
2. If not, how can voters trust you to bring down prices if you do not accept responsibility for causing inflation in the first place, which is leading you to put forward price control proposals?
3. Given that the history of price control policies is to reduce the production and supply of the good or service that is being controlled, are you not concerned that price controls on groceries will lead to widespread food insecurity? This is especially concerning when the sources of the underlying inflation are not being addressed by your policies.  Are we not likely to experience widespread food shortages and food insecurity along with continued high inflation?
4. The Kamala-Biden Net Zero energy policies are leading to the closing of oil, coal, and natural gas power plants across the country-which is leading to skyrocketing energy, electricity, and gasoline prices across the country, further contributing to high prices and inflation.  Will you repudiate your high cost of energy net zero policies in light of persistent high inflation and high energy costs in the economy?  In other words, how do you plan to replace 84 percent of US energy supply without inevitably causing prices to skyrocket?
5. Do you accept any relationship between the housing affordability crisis and the left's radical approach to net zero emission goals and climate change regulations, which is a key driver of high housing prices? 
6. The housing affordability crisis is most acute in Democrat-controlled metropolitan areas like San Francisco and Boston because of absurd building restrictions. Unsurprisingly, these types of cities also have high rates of homelessness. In the 11 metropolitan areas with the most restrictive building requirements, easing regulations and thus decreasing the cost of housing would cause homelessness to drop 31%. To help the homeless secure housing, are you prepared to admonish local Democrat leaders to ease building requirements, cut regulations, ease urban containment boundaries that are a huge contributor to housing prices in those and other metro areas, and lower taxes?
7. Will illegal aliens be eligible to buy or rent one of the housing units you intend to sponsor?
8. You have repeatedly said that “Bidenomics is working” and that you are proud of “Bidenomics.” Do you stand by those statements?
9. How will Medicare and Social Security survive if, as you intend, you make millions of low-wage migrants into US citizens and put them onto Medicare and Social Security?
10. How is it good for American Labor to give work permits to 3+ million illegal aliens, as you have done?
