And who decides? Has there been any collusion by corporations to fix prices too high? I thought consumers drive prices up or down. Maybe Suzianne can brief us on what is coming. Will my taxes be raised for the money to give citizens (that I do not know) $25k for down payments? Will I have to work longer past my retirement age in order to cover these down payments? Will we normal folks be faced with a new problem known as the Black Market?

Is everyone aware that Kamala's father was hired as a professor in Marxism,,,,,Stanford Univ. They Hired him, he wrote in his book that we should get rid of interest rates. Harris is the issue of this man.
We should not be surprised about her proposals. She is all about setting prices, we tried setting prices on gas, in the 70's, you saw what that caused. Gas Lines. Now we set prices at grocery stores, create bread lines, like in Venezuala. People there were eating zoo animals. And so forth....
Is anyone here NOT in favor of her stuff? Or is everyone OK with her proposals, including fixing prices.......................like Venezeula.

For example: the fixed price of milk in the Netherlands (basically a minimum price) is there to guarantee farmers a living wage.
@shavixmir saidThe words 'protect' and 'guarantee' give me pause. Are you going to change the name of our country too?

@shavixmir saidDid you see Zahlanzi preach 'guarantee' from the government. Is that in the constitution? No, but you fellers don't care about the constitution. You want us to live by no rules. That means a dictatorship. We have come full circle.
Of course.
Zahkalnzi preaches guarantees. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
If it is from the government, then it is from me and 330M other people. To whom do we owe this guarantee, I ask. Tell us they have a right to a guarantee.
You will not answer this question.
@AverageJoe1 saidTrump doubled the deficit spending we had to endure under Obama. That's fact. Now listen to Milton Friedman explain what happens when government starts spending too much...

Why don't you actually wait till the deals are in front of the House and Senate before you go frothing at the mouth like you are right now.
You need to really get ahold of yourself and listen to what you are mewling about.
Tell me why you think it is ok for Project 2025 to succeed?
@shavixmir saidThis is the question"To whom do we owe this guarantee, I ask.' My 4 year old would know that as a question.
There is no question.
Oh, can you answer it? 3 clicks back. You cannot answer it, and that is why you go smoke-screen with this nothing post.
Do't be late for debate class this morning, Professor Sonhouse is guest lecturer. Guess who the subject is!!!
@sonhouse saidI think that 2025 should not succeed. If. you write about it, I don't care.

What deals in front of the house? If it involves government giveaways, I would put forth a bill right behind it to SNATCH the given largess away from whomever it is given to.
If that makes you mad, give us your justification to give government money to anyone outside of the 50M destitute.
You can't.
