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.
I remember hearing from oldsters about life 93 years ago during the Great Depression. The cheapest food was STEAK!
So FDR decided to get the price of meat up Up UP by buying up millions of cattle and hogs, having them shot an buried to create a shortage.
And all that meat had to be buried, not given to the starving poor who could not find jobs.
One rancher told the agricultural agent that in ten years they would be wishing they had all that meat back.
Ten years later, that same agriculture agent was begging ranchers to increase meat production for the WAR EFFORT.
