FOX Business' Stuart Varney explains how the proposed merger between supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons highlights Kamala Harris' war on business.

During his "My Take," Monday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney discussed why the FTC and Kamala Harris want to stop the Kroger-Albertsons merger, arguing the supermarket union is the perfect backdrop for the vice president's "war on business." STUART VARNEY: You can tell that the socialists got their hands on Kamala Harris. Her economic policy comes straight out of the playbook of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

Case in point. The proposed merger of two grocery store chains, Krogers and Albertsons. This may seem like small potatoes, but it's not. The cost of food is at stake. The socialists, the Federal Trade Commission and Kamala Harris want to stop the merger. This is all part of the "price gouging," "excessive profit" and "big-is-bad" mentality. The left says a Kroger-Albertsons get-together would reduce competition. That's a stretch.

You have to be worried when the front-running candidate for the presidency tries to go back to the failed policies of the past, primarily for ideological reasons. Does anyone believe you bring prices down by suing supermarket chains? How many times have we been told that collusion in the energy business produces price gouging at the gas pump? It's not been proven, but it doesn't stop the left's knee-jerk reaction. The Kroger-Alberstons supermarket merger goes to trial this week.
