The difference in political style between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was on full display this week. The Secret Service has unveiled a new strategy for protecting presidential candidates, starting with the guy they epically failed to protect during a campaign event in Butler, PA. But heartlanders were far more horrified by the latest Venezuelan-style economic promises of the vice president.

The Latest Harris-Walz economic plan, using price control would spark shortages and send inflation soaring even higher. These socialist measures never work. They destroyed the economies of Cuba, Venezuela, and Russia. Yet Harris dug in during her poorly attended rally in North Carolina. “My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules,” Harris said. In short, the Federal Trade Commission bureaucrats will determine what your local markets can charge for a bag of Doritos and a jar of salsa.

Even many left-leaning news outlets favorable to Harris and Walz called her plan “ridiculous” and “disastrous.” Jason Furman, an economist in the Obama administration, was aghast, saying: “This is not sensible policy, and I think the biggest hope is that it ends up being a lot of rhetoric and no reality.” Others believed this was the first salvo in a long game: Eric Pearce in Indiana wrote: “Not her ideas. The game is to push the ‘far left’ even further left, which would have the effect of moving the ‘middle’ to the left as well. Not a bad LONG TERM STRATEGY when they are going to lose anyway.”
