With Americans unhappy with the state of the economy Kamala Harris announced her economic agenda.
After the announcement, The Washington Post Editorial Board ripped parts of her plan.
The Board wrote, “Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech Friday was an opportunity to get specific with voters about how a Harris presidency would manage an economy that many feel is not working well for them, Unfortunately, instead of delivering a substantial plan, she squandered the moment on populist gimmicks.”
The Washington Post Editorial Board on Friday slammed Vice President Harris over her newly-announced economic agenda, which they characterized as “populist gimmicks.”
“Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech Friday was an opportunity to get specific with voters about how a Harris presidency would manage an economy that many feel is not working well for them,” the board wrote in an editorial Friday. “Unfortunately, instead of delivering a substantial plan, she squandered the moment on populist gimmicks.”

“One way to handle it might be to level with voters, telling them that inflation spiked in 2021 mainly because the pandemic snarled supply chains, and that the Federal Reserve’s policies, which the Biden-Harris administration supported, are working to slow it,” they wrote. “The vice president instead opted for a less forthright route: Blaming big business.”

“Even adjusted for the pandering standards of campaign economics, however, Ms. Harris’s speech Friday ranks as a disappointment,” the piece concluded.
Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell also ripped the plan.
The column was titled, “When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls?”
It is “hard to exaggerate how bad” Vice President Kamala Harris’s proposal to implement government-enforced price control on groceries is, according to a Washington Post essay slamming the plan as both vague and harmful, and cautioning those labeled “communist” by their opponents should think twice before pushing such radical economic policies.
In a piece published Thursday, titled “When your opponent calls you ‘communist,’ maybe don’t propose price controls?” Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell argues that it’s difficult to overstate just “how bad” Harris’s plan is.
“It’s not hard to figure out where this proposal came from,” the essay states. “Voters want to blame someone for high grocery bills, and the presidential candidates have apparently decided the choices are either the Biden administration or corporate greed.”
“Harris has chosen the latter,” Rampell adds.
