Frida Ghitis : Kamala Harris' Day 1 plan to attack price gouging in grocery stores, make homes more affordable, expand the child tax credit to as much as $6,000 per child.
Ghitis says the battle for inflation is over for now, but it's a good idea to develop a plan for the next supply shock to help prevent the rapid expansion of corporate profits from driving up consumer prices.
