Sen. Elizabeth Warren on price gouging

Sen. Elizabeth Warren discusses Vice President Kamala Harris’ price gouging proposal.

It’s the opposite! When a company has more competition, it has less pricing power.

The Cherokee Communist has spoken. You must comply with her deceptive rhetoric.

Pocahontas is lost. Couldn’t pass that economics course in college.

[brians]

Academic study?? No inflation at universities. 😮. So basically universities are price gauging. Come on Elizabeth. Go after these “educational” Fortune 500 companies that have $800B in tax free endowments.

Pocahontas, you do realize that we have global manufacturers? If we artificially lower prices here, they will just sell elsewhere AND there will be shortages. The other thing Pocahantas is the Price Gouging laws are not used on a regular basis. They are ONLY USED IF THERE IS A HURRICANE OR OTHER CATASTROPHE. That is what happens with DEI where someone is hired at Harvard and gets in due to her Indigenous heritage-btw how much does she actually have % wise. Seriously, she is not that bright.

I'm a little worried about the editorial decision, by CNBC in this video, to cut off it's own host/commentator deconstructing her argument

This lady has lost all credit. Not only is she wrong about this, but this is also the same lady.. that got paid 450k a year to teach at a college and in the same breath, told you that college tuition rates are too high and that the government needs to help. She is literally stealing tax payer money.

Why is there no outrage about this?

[bgorg]

Unless there is collusion or anti-trust activity we should leave markets alone. This is a demand side issue- you flooded the market with unproductive money.

[richardciotti]

A price fixing law is not the same as a price gouging law. She admits this in her response but continues to conflate the two. She doesn’t care the damages prices fixing will cause as long as they get more power to control our lives and our economy.

[SK-fped]

How about the government stop gouging taxpayers!

[xraytech]

The academics say a person who pretends to be indian should be jailed

[ljacobs]

She is correct to go after companies that engage in price gouging.Many states have fined companies doing this, including Republican states.

[n.manasseh]

If its such a great idea why doesn’t she do it in her state FIRST and then we can see how successful it is before we drag the entire nation into something that might not work as plan

[paulevans]

My state and local property taxes are gouging me...can you get on that one liz.

[xrpeople]

Vote this hypocrite out vote for John Deaton !!!!

[SChen-eigx]

I understand why Harris hasn't done a serious interview since taking the candidacy, which is over a month. Every policy she has so far is stupid and doesn't work. Warren just sounds silly defending this nonsense.

[feebee]

This woman is so disrespectful and keeps yapping so people won’t hear the facts

[SonNguyen-jwjm]

Poor interviewer! He has to suffer from her craziness.

[wxlshberry]

I don't know exactly what she's saying but she does know so that's important. Her backpack is speculative but she's part NA.
