The Washington Post editorial board recently published a critical piece evaluating Vice President Kamala Harris' economic proposals. The editorial board expressed skepticism and disapproval of Harris' plans, labeling them as lacking substance and relying on what they referred to as 'populist gimmicks.'
One of the main points of contention was Harris' approach to addressing high prices and inflation. The editorial board accused Harris of not being forthright with voters and criticized her for blaming big businesses for the persisting high prices. They particularly scoffed at her proposal to target companies making 'excessive' profits, drawing parallels to past failed attempts at price controls.
