VP Harris releases economic plan that includes efforts to end price gouging

Vice President Kamala Harris wants to create a federal ban on food price gouging and lower the cost of housing and medicine. It’s all part of an economic plan she’ll formally announce in North Carolina on Friday, Aug. 16. The details on how she’ll accomplish these goals are less clear. For instance, on food prices, the campaign stated Harris will create, “the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries — setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can’t unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries.”
