We’re asked nearly every day – who is really writing this wacko economic agenda for Kamala Harris?

No one honestly believes that Kamala understands her own agenda  – as her speech last week endorsing price controls demonstrated.  She called her plan “price gaging” not “gouging.”

It turns out most of the radical economic ideas are coming from Senator Elizabeth Warren of MA.

Robert Kuttner, the editor of the radical American Prospect magazine, bluntly says that “both Biden and Harris have one great thinker and political strategist in common, and that is Sen. Elizabeth Warren.”

Some of Biden’s most anti-free market appointments came from Warren-world. The list includes Rohit Chopra, who heads the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was Warren’s idea, and FTC Chair Lina Khan, who has run wild with antitrust lawsuits – but keeps getting slapped down by the courts.

Kamala’s much-derided plan for price controls was directly inspired by Warren’s recent Price Gouging Prevention Act, which would authorize the FTC to enforce a federal ban against “excessive” price increases.

Can anyone think of a worse mentor than Elizabeth Warren?
