Of course not. She's a puppet just like Joe was.

She doesn't have enough brain cells to formulate a policy (unless it was what knee pads to wear with that skirt).

Price-fixing is akin to socialism and we are a capitalist state. The farmers have to pay more for oil, gas, bovine veterinarian care,
property tax, so they have to charge more for their products. Price
fixing isn't going to help farmers achieve their dream of owning an underground mansion in Hawaii.

Price fixing always has the same result: scarcity of the product.

Whether it be housing or food, the outcome is always the same.

So are these people total morons or are they doing it on purpose?

Whatever. But would you, consequently, vote for someone who can
impose a federal ban on price-gauging for groceries (which is the
leading cause)?

A massive pile of word salad, including about half a dozen crazy conspiracy theories, meaning 'NO', right?

Pour some Smurf cocktail sauce on it and try again. This entire explanation is built on facts. Which part are you having trouble with? I'll explain it differently.

Yea, there's no way that anyone from the Democrat party is allowed to make their own decisions. Not their presidential nominees anyway. Not anymore.

Do you think Bill Clinton made his own decisions? There was always speculation about it, but he wasn't as obvious of a puppet as the latter pee-ons.

The response I got from the leftist who asked me about it, that answers this question.

Well seeing as how the average Democrat voter can't think for themselves anyway, I don't see where that would make much of a difference.

They can just prop up their puppet, or go through the work of telling their voters who to vote for and having an election. Either way, their puppet is installed.

Policy-wise - he did what he was told. The guy was an idiot, so he certainly couldn't do that himself.

Skirt-chasing-wise - he probably made those decisions (with warnings from Hillary, of course).

The only person I suspected that Bill was a puppet of was Hillary, which
may explain why he acted out the way he did.

I definitely don't see groceries going down in price.

I hope that not you, too, are blaming Kamala for this.

Oh no, I didn't mean it that way. Economics is a huge thing with tons of moving parts. I think people give presidents way too much credit/blame for fluctuations.

Well, the problem here is that, when things are good, politicians take that credit. They try to deflect it when things are not good.

Another way to look at it... if you read here long enough, you will see
that most of the people who don't want Kamala, Biden, or Democrats blamed
for inflation or the economy are very quick to want to blame Trump or the Republicans for same. They will also be very quick to claim the economy
really isn't as bad and that it is Biden who should be thanked for it.

I learned at a young age from a Democrat parent that whoever the highest ranking Republican was, they were going to get blamed for whatever. So,
when Reagan was President, it was his fault. When Clinton was President,
it was probably Mitch McConnell's fault (or Newt or whoever).

At the time, the state we lived in was near fully Democrat controlled, as
was the city we lived in (that city still is). It was really funny to watch them try to place fault when it came to state and local issues as there were
no "high ranking Republicans" to blame it on. So they'd usually shift the discussion over to a national issue so they could blame their usual
suspects.
