Episode notes
Harris Haunted by Biden
- Kamala Harris is trying to distance herself from Joe Biden and his unpopular policies.
- Biden, however, insists Harris won't abandon his economic policies, tying her to his unpopular "Bidenomics."
Price Gouging vs. Economics
- Kamala Harris's proposed federal ban on price gouging for groceries is economically flawed.
- Price controls lead to reduced supply and increased demand, not lower prices, as basic economics demonstrates.
Homebuyer Handouts
- Be wary of Kamala Harris's proposal to give $25,000 to first-time homebuyers.
- This "free money" approach, coupled with potential rent and price controls, will likely worsen the housing market.
