Price controls have also been implemented in this country as national policy several times since the early 1900s.  I don’t think anybody would believe Nixon,for example, was a communist/Socialist.

But it is a bad economic policy for reasons that have been outlined on this forum. However, when  Nixon implemented in 1971, he was reelected in a landslide in 1972 so they can be popular with the public until they feel the effects of them. Harris is preying on the economic ignorance of the public at large

Some of the best lessons in life are learned the hard way

Because Nixon was, in all honesty, much closer to a latter-day democrat than to a latter-day republican.  Nixon was, in fact, more to the left than most are willing to acknowledge.

It was that sort of "republican" that Reagan's agenda was opposed to, which was why Reagan was such a shocker.

I would agree.

As I have looked at the Nixon Presidency and the Kennedy Presidency it's pretty clear that in the 1960 election the more conservative of the two won the election.

The point is that what Harris is proposing with price controls isn’t the first time it’s been tried in this country

It’s a bad economic policy. But that doesn’t mean we’re going to  descend into communism. It will be popular with the public. Until they experience the effects

Reagan lifted the last of price controls when he took office in Jan 1981 on domestic oil and gas production and lowering the windfall profits tax

Those price controls were probably popular when they were first implemented until we had gas lines and shortages

"Soak the Rich Guys" policies are always popular until the rich guys stop buying American made yachts, American made cars, they stop investing in American businesses, and they start firing American workers.

Then when Jimmy Bob Pickuptruck can't buy groceries because the machine shop where he works no longer sells parts to private jet owners then and only then will Jimmy Bob realize that his sustenance comes about only because some rich guy can afford a private jet.

Then Jimmy Bob suddenly becomes a free marketeer.

All depends on whether the American voter can be trusted to repeat the results of the 1980 election after getting another taste of pre-communist socialism in the form of another shot of price controls.

Personally, I no longer trust the American electorate.
