Kamala Harris is sharing her ideas on how to help the economy through TV commercials. Many people think that the high prices in the United States are because the government printed lots of money in the past few years. Harris suggests that the problem is because of “price-gougers” and wants to take action against them. This reminds some people of how the Soviet Union blamed “black marketeers” for their economic troubles.
But, Harris hasn’t explained how these “price-gougers” created inflation in the whole country or why this issue didn’t happen during the time when Donald Trump was president. She also hasn’t said what she plans to do to stop them. Some might wonder why she hasn’t already done this during the years she was in office.
Elizabeth Warren just revealed Kamala's reckless border plan: open borders, a pathway to citizenship for millions, and YOUR tax dollars funding it. Expect permanent blue states, skyrocketing taxes, and even worse inflation. The agenda is clear—and it's hurting Americans. pic.twitter.com/6aS7dY5USO

There’s also a plan from Harris to stop landlords from charging what she calls “too much” rent. Figuring out what is the right amount of rent to charge can be complex because different areas have different housing markets. This proposal could lead to a situation like during World War II when the government tried to control prices, which caused shortages and problems in the economy. Eventually, these government controls were stopped because they weren’t helping.
Harris also wants the government to build more houses to help lower housing prices. While this idea might sound good at first, it could lead to more inflation if the government keeps printing more money. The houses would need to follow certain rules that can make them more expensive to build. This plan could end up causing more issues for the economy.
Overall, Harris’s ideas might not be the best way to fix the economy. Some worry that her plans could lead to more problems like corruption and inflation. It’s important to think carefully about these proposals before making any big changes.
