Kamala Harris has put forth a plan to lower grocery prices and tackle the housing market crisis with tax subsidies for homebuyers. Some have criticized her plan as veering towards communism, including former President Donald Trump. Price controls, as seen in countries like Cuba, have often led to food shortages and economic difficulties. Implementing price controls in the U.S. could have negative consequences, says conservative critics.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s consideration of establishing city-operated grocery stores has also raised concerns about government overreach and potential communist-like policies. Some argue that such actions could deter producers and lead to higher prices and scarcity of goods.

Harris and Tim Walz’s proposed ideas, such as creating new housing units and providing taxpayer money for homebuyers, are seen as potential drivers of inflation. Critics warn that these measures could have adverse effects on the economy and individual freedom.
Furthermore, Harris’ past associations with Marxist ideologies, along with her policy stances on issues like healthcare and gun control, have raised alarms among conservatives. Her husband’s connections to a law firm with ties to China’s Communist Party have also sparked concerns about foreign influence.
Overall, the push towards more government intervention in various aspects of society is viewed skeptically by those on the conservative side. The fear of creeping socialism and communism remains a central theme in the criticism of Harris and Walz’s proposed policies.
