Republicans, Economist slam Harris plan to lower food prices: 'Economic lunacy'
[NYPOST] Vice President Kamala Harris' plan to grant the federal government expansive new authority to control food and grocery prices was roundly criticized Thursday by several Republicans and economists, who argued that it was ''big government on steroids'' and ''economic lunacy.''
The 59-year-old Democratic presidential nominee's economic agenda calls for the ''first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries'' to be implemented within her first 100 days as president in order to ''bring down Americans' grocery costs and keep inflation in check,'' according to the Harris campaign, which released details of the plan ahead of Friday's official unveiling.
