Democrats propose starvation as a price cutting strategy.
A logical evolution of socialism.
Price caps have been tried before. If they are high, they are useless, if they are low, they lead to shortages.
See Soviet Union, Cuba, etc.
I went to East Berlin, before the wall came down, and stopped at a state shoe store. There were at most 50 pairs of shoes, and the line to come in the store went around the block. I talked to a local and asked him that if buying shoes is this hard, then how do you buy a car? He said you pay cash first, and then you wait seven years. There was one model car with a choice of 3 colors, but he told me you take whatever comes up first. He then extolked to me how great communism was. Health care was free. I am sure is was great health care.
