New York Times columnist and PBS News Hour theoretical conservative David Brooks was shocked on Friday’s show that “a responsible Democratic candidate” would endorse Soviet-like price controls on food.
Host Geoff Bennett invited Brooks to share his thoughts “On this matter of economic policy, the vice president is also proposing the first ever ban on price gouging for groceries. This is something I know you took particular issue with. It polls well with swing voters, but economists say the underlying reasons why prices are higher, it's a more complicated argument.”
