tart imposing price controls

Just like Carter did which resulted in gas shortages, long lines and that stupid ass 55 MPH speed limit

Actually, I kinda miss those days, 55 mph speed limit and convoys on the interstates, everyone talking on their CB’s reporting on Smoky locations, running bumper to bumper 80 ~ 90 Mph kinda felt like NASCR 😂!

Much of that, as I recall, originated during the Nixon era (1973).

As much as I despise the incompetent and petty Peanut Farmer, that was Nixon who imposed the price controls. I will forever respect Nixon for his Linebacker II campaign in 1972 that brought the North Vietnamese Communists to the bargaining table and eventually the Paris Peace Treaty, but...he implemented those price controls, damn him.

Leftist screw up everything they put their hands to. I remember the Carter days, the gas lines, odd/even license plate days and yes...that stupid 55mph speed limit out on the open highways.

From time to time I’ll be traveling down the road in my beloved state of Texas which incidentally has an 80mph speed limit on desolate rural roads..slow my speed to 55mph to remind myself of how idiotic these leftist environmental regulations really are.

plastic instead of paper bags, margarine rather than butter, egg substitutes, smart cars, gas cans with leftist protections incorporated...on and on. All foisted on us by these nut job leftist.
