“...outlaw high prices...”

Isn’t that what Nixon tried to do with price conrols? That didn’t turn out too good for anybody. So, I guess Barry will try it!

Nixon Schmixon!

I detect a very large tongue-in-cheek here.

This is the Communist model and while prices were kept low, so were stocked shelves with the result nothing very much was available. Who in their right mind wants to work and produce when they get nothing, not even break-even, for their efforts?

Let’s keep an eye on Argentinea where price controls were imposed this month.

For some of us it didn't turn out too bad - see my #15.
