Agree. The great thing about this approach is that in general it's always Democrat voters that are harmed first.

The problem is, in order to reach some personal catharsis these victims that voted for their own demise don't realize what they have done so it's rare to get satisfaction out of watching people learn the hard way (because they never learn).

For Christ's sake, someone please get these morons a basic economics textbook. Maybe put some Sowell on their reading list too.

Not only do these people turn everything they touch to shite, they don't know when to stop touching things.

We're all going to need to plant Victory Gardens soon. And buy our meat directly from farmers and ranchers.

They want a war; we will beat them.

This was about a quarter into the article, but it should have been the end. The other three quarters were even more drivel.

Nixon had a 'whip inflation now' (WIN) program of wage and price controls in the 1970s.

It failed.

Artificially capping prices is like curing diarrhea by putting a cork in you a-hole. The pressure will come out somewhere.

Come on, now. Stop being so hateful.

Why would you want Poor President Biden meet the same fate as The Lovable Peanut Farmer and be voted out of office in shameful fashion?

I mean, yea. Basing fiscal policy where we are in an election cycle has always been sound long term strategy.
