As Americans are struggling to put food on the table and make ends meet, Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are focused on pushing a “positive” and “joyful” message to appeal to voters.

Harris recently declared a new policy proposal: Enacting a federal ban on “price gouging” for food companies. The proposal has met with fierce criticism from both sides of the aisle, with many pointing out that this would only make the problems worse.

A new video is circulating on X featuring two small business owners discussing how rampant inflation has affected their businesses and customers. To put it succinctly, it ain’t looking good, folks.

Ehsan Khan, who owns a grocery store in Brooklyn, New York, said that during his 24 years in the business, he “never saw the cost of grocery bread, butter, cookies, milk going up” as it has under the Biden/Harris administration.

Carlos Collado from Fine Festival Market described how his store has to reduce inventory because of inflation. “See those shelves right there? We're trying to keep less inventory because it's expensive after the inflation under your vice presidency,” he said.

Now I go through the store. Yes, we have to have merchandise here for our customers. But if you only knew how this works, and I invite you to come down. We can have you help us enter the invoices into QuickBooks since you claim that we are price gouging.

Khan continued, discussing how Oreo cookies more than doubled in price.

For example, I'll give you an example. You see this Oreo cookie? I love Oreo cookie. I used to sell it for my guys. I used to be $1.50. I used to sell it for $2.99. Right now, this cookie, I'm selling it for $7. Why? Because my cost is over $4. Look, I have only two pieces. I used to order cases and cases. Because the cost of groceries is so much high, I can't afford it.

Collado issued an invitation to Harris to show her what they are going through due to inflation.

“You can come down. Come on, we'll show you. Here. You see those little price tags there, and signs? Those we try keep as minimal as possible. I can show you an item where just yesterday it had gone up, and if we were to use our industry standard price system, it would have to have gone up about 25, 30, or 40 cents, and we decided to just increase it 15 cents.”

Khan was more pointed, asking that people not vote for Harris and other Democrats. “They are bad news. Biden, what he did, he's in the corridor of power, 45 years. What he accomplished? And the money that they are throwing in Ukraine war and this and that,” the business owner said, highlighting how former President Donald Trump pledged to stop America’s involvement in foreign wars.

Trump said that the moment I get in, I'm going to stop the war. That money should come to our economy. That money should go to our school and hospital. We deserve that money. So please, Kamala Harris is a bad news. She was a prosecutor in California. If you guys don't believe me, just Google it and find out over there what she did over there. You know what I mean? So please stay away from them. Bad news for America. This country is great, and we can make it great again.

Collado insisted that grocery stores are not price gouging “Because our customers are very price sensitive” and “We will lose our customers if that were to be the case.”

If I were part of Trump’s campaign, I’d advise them to find more business owners like Khan and Collado who are willing to speak out against Harris’ ill-advised policy proposals. In this economic climate, it wouldn’t be hard to find plenty more who are going through similar ordeals.

The fact of the matter is that the Biden administration’s economic record is horrid. Harris’ proposals suggest that they have not yet learned their lesson.
