Kommie-la's Basket of Deplorable Economic Policies - In The Tank #462

The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 462 of the In The Tank Podcast. Over the past few weeks, Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris has outlined a number of economic policy proposals her potential administration would enact. Some of these policies include price controls, subsidies for first-time-homebuyers, increases to the corporate income tax, and increases to the capital gains tax. How would these economic policies affect the economy? What do these proposals reveal about the Democratic presidential candidate?
