Democrats to Run on Price Controls and Higher Taxes
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Democrats plan to unveil their platform of ideas ahead of the November elections. Here's what we can expect: bq. The Democratic program will consist of bread-and-butter priorities: increasing the minimum wage, cutting costs of prescription drugs, reducing interest rates on student loans, rolling back subsidies for oil companies, and pay-as-you-go budgeting, according to party officials. Aside from the subsidies (which is a good idea, and an even better one if they extended it to ALL industries), this list is nothing but price controls and higher taxes. That's the best they can offer?
