OPINION:


This election season, voters can blame either big government or big corporations for pernicious inflation now in a dead heat with border chaos as the issue most likely to decide the 2024 presidential race. If you are the second-highest official in big government seeking to ascend to the presidency, you’d better make damn sure voters blame big corporations.

Such is the political dynamic behind the second major strategic mistake of the nascent Kamala Harris for President campaign. The first mistake was Ms. Harris choosing a running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who is as far left as she is. Now, in Ms. Harris’ second strategic blunder, she has led with price controls as the solution to the inflation Ms. Harris herself has had a hand in creating.

There just won’t be enough eggs and meat to buy at the controlled prices. Instead, consumers will face shortages, queuing and black marketeering.

Politically, Ms. Harris’ price controls proposal is just a stupid gaffe, one that raises the specter of Soviet communism, California liberalism and Venezuelan socialism. Ms. Harris thus violates the cardinal rule of Nixonian politics.
